In this simple tutorial I’ll be offering an insight into joining bias binding on a quilt with what you might be tempted to call “the lazy method”.
– Bias binding strip – Quilting project – Matching thread
Start by sewing the raw edge of your bias binding to the raw edges of the quilt, leaving about 2 inches of the binding strip open at the starting end.
Take your quilt off the machine and lay it flat on a surface. Meet the bias ends.
Mark the point where the ends meet.
Pin along the marked area then sew.
Trim the excess strips, leaving about 1/2" of each.
Align the binding against the quilt edge, fold the ends again to a side and press. Continue sewing the bias to the quilt, from where you left and stopping where you first started to sew.
