This method is a little like one used by Ricky Tims in his videio 'Grand Finale' - it's a video well-worth buying! He uses a slightly finer fabric for the insert, placing a length of embroidery thread in the middle of it to make a very fine piped edge. It is then turned to the right side and stitched in-the -ditch so that no stitching shows. I've tried it and the result is exceptionally good - looks very professional!

Wow, this is a great effect! I know I will trying this binding more for the look than the speed.

MAN...I wish I saw this earlier this week. I have 2 quilts I needed done in a hurry and have only finished one. I have my binding already sewn on the other but that one is gonna have to wait for the hand sewing.

Thank you so much for this Tute :thumbup: :thumbup: I will try it soon.

Thank you, that is very neat! You also now have a fansy border as well. I like this very much.

Thanks for sharing! What a fabulous idea.
I love it when it seems like magic - and it's super easy and quick.
I will remember this trick and pass it on to my quiting buddies too.

What a cool idea....thanks!

Love this idea! I will try it with my next quilt!

I did this on a tablerunner and plan do it again on other quilts. Nice tutorial.

I'm going to do this on the very next quilt I bind!

great info can't wait to try it
