I made a doll quilt before Christmas and realized I\u2019d never posted a tutorial on this quick and easy binding method.\u00a0 Since I know a lot of you are beginners\u2026this is a really great way to dip your toes into binding a quilt.\u00a0 I especially love it for small things like hot pads, table toppers, or a mini quilt.<\/div>\n
1.\u00a0 Baste your quilt.\u00a0 Normally I would cut the batting the exact same size<\/em> as the quilt top\u2026but in these pictures using this method was an afterthought.\u00a0 Believe me though\u2026it\u2019s much much easier to start with the batting the same size as the quilt top!<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
\"IMG_2769_thumb[1]\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

2.\u00a0 Quilt like normal\u2026except make sure none of your stitches go into the batting.\u00a0 Start and stop all of your quilting stitches on the quilt top and backstitch.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
3.\u00a0 Carefully cut the batting away (if it was a bit larger than the quilt top).\u00a0 This is tricky if you\u2019ve quilted to the edge\u2026which is why I recommend keeping your batting the exact same size as your quilt top before you start.\u00a0 I\u2019ve cut through many backings by accident doing this!<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

4.\u00a0 Trim the backing fabric, leaving 1\u201d around all sides of the quilt top.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
5.\u00a0 Start anywhere, and fold the binding over halfway\u2026<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
\"IMG_2791_thumb[1]\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u2026and then in half again, and pin.\u00a0 You can do this on your ironing board and press it as you go\u2026it makes it very simple.\u00a0 Fold all the way down to the next edge.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
\"IMG_2800_thumb[1]\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
6.\u00a0 When you get to a corner, fold the corner up like so\u2026<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
\"IMG_2803_thumb[1]\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u2026then fold the next edge in half\u2026<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u2026and in half again to make a nice mitered corner.\u00a0 Pin it in place.\u00a0 You might have to play with the corner a bit, but once you actually do this it will make sense.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Continue until you\u2019ve folded and pinned the binding around the whole quilt.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
7.\u00a0 Sew it down using a walking foot, right along the edge of the binding. Sew to the corner and leave the needle in the fabric as you lift the presser foot and turn to go down the next edge.\u00a0 Easy as pie.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
Now there are a couple of reasons I don\u2019t love<\/em> this method:<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
1.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to square up the quilt and keep the edges nice and straight.\u00a0 So I only use this on small things.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
2.\u00a0 You have to plan so your backing fabric will also look great as your binding fabric.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
3.\u00a0 If you quilt to the edge of your quilt top\u2026you\u2019re going to see it in the binding of the quilt on the back.\u00a0 I normally wouldn\u2019t quilt to the edge using this method and instead quilt 1\u201d away from the edge or so\u2026but it was an afterthought with this little quilt.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
And there you go\u2026an easy way to do bindings!\u00a0 If you\u2019re a beginner who is mastering bindings\u2026here\u2019s my other tutorial on a Machine Binding a quilt<\/a>.<\/div>\n
