I like this tutorial - this is the way I do mine except for the bias part. Actually I am doing the glue method more often now.

Me too. I love doing the binding. It is usually the favorite part of the project for me to do. Once you learn the correct way to bind a quilt, you will all know what we mean.

I too do this, but not bias, and I also do the back first, then bring it to the front and machine stitch it in place. I would never get it done if I had to do it by hand..
I have a question ... do most of you stitch the mitered corner, or just do the quilt part and go round the corner? (did that make sense?) I havent been stitching down the miter part.

My apologies. This note was for someone else who had the cute photo of a cow.

MadameKelly...
I have used the method you described for a few years now and it's so easy people don't believe it!

I did a demo at our quilt club last year and only 2/3rds of the women could grasp that concept even with a handout and the visual of seeing me DO IT.

I used to stress over binding my quilts something fierce.. but now it's just easy peasy. But.. yes. .it IS hard to describe as your "clear as mud" comment stated....LOL
