Tutorial: How to Bind a Quilt

Tutorial: How to Bind a Quilt

Cut 2-1/2" strips as directed in the pattern you are following. Trim ends.

Sew strips end to end lengthwise, creating one long strip.

Press in half lengthwise. I like to roll my binding up so it is easier to work with.


Start in the middle of one side, leaving at least 4" of binding that is not stitched down. Stitch with raw edges of binding to raw edge of quilt. Stitch binding through all layers.

When you get to a corner, stop 1/4" before the corner. Backstitch. Remove quilt from under presser foot.

Fold binding upward making sure quilt top and binding form straight line.

Holding the fold in place, bring the binding down in line with the quilt edge.

Start stitching at the top of fold and continue stitching binding.

When you come back to where you started stitching, leave a 4" space and stop. Measure binding, connect ends and trim. Continue stitching binding.

When binding is machine stitched on, bring folded edge around to back of quilt, miter corners, and hand stitch in place.

  1. Hi there
    I love that you have so many tutorials as lots of beginners can learn. However the scariest bit of this task is doing the mitres. I wish you could have shown the finishing on the reverse including how to do both sides of the mitres up close. Regards Linda
