Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a tutorial on quilt binding. I'm almost sure I found it on this board, but have not been able to find it again and have also looked on youtube. This is a different method than continuous binding. Strips are used on each side and are sown a 1/4 inch from the ends. When all four strips are in place the quilt is folded diagonally and the strips are sown on that diagonal to form a miter. Does anyone remember this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance, June

Here is a tutorial I posted based on the method I use.

Sorry June. I don't remember the post. I did see recently Patrick Lose (Moda Marble designer) give a demo on continuous binding that 1/4" from the end, you stitch diagonally to the corner and cut the thread. I really like his method because you can trim the excess dog ears in the corner making the binding lay much flatter.

Thanks to mad quilter and grma33 for your tutorials and video suggestions. Very helpful. I had never seen MadQuilter's tutorial before, don't know how I missed it.

Sharon Schamber, who is an internationally known, award winning quilter, has lots of tutes on YouTube, and the ones I like the best are about what judges look for when they are judging quilts. I have never entered a quilt and don't have any plans to enter any for judging, but that doesn't mean that I can't make them look the best they can possibly be. She has a very good one on binding, and she uses glue, not pins.
