I made a 12 x 12 wall hanging and when I tried to use the ruler that helps you bind a quilt, the measurements were way to big. It was made for a large size quilt. Does any one know how to adjust the instructions so I can use it for the 12 x 12 blocks I plan on making? I love using the ruler and have watched videos from Missouri quilt on how to correctly use it. but.....no directions for a small project.

If you go to www.victorianaquiltdesigns.com, scroll down to techniques. You can request many different charts to allow you to change measurements for patterns, binding, borders and other things. They have a wealth of information!

need to know the size of your wallhanging. Is it 12"x12" or made up of 12" blocks.
Which binding tool are you working with. I went to Missouri Star and couldn't find the tutorial.
What exactly are you trying to adjust. Need more specific information.

I went to the victorian site and so much info there. Can you be more specific as the section.

First, calculate the total length of binding you need: (length+width) times two. Add about 12" (or more) to miter the corners and join the ends. If your wall hanging is 12" square, you would need (12+12)x2 12= 60 inches of binding. Now you calculate how big the square will be to cut the binding. If you are using 2 1/2" double fold binding, that is 180 square inches of binding. You need to start with a square 14 inches on each side; or 15 to feel safe. Iron in the diagonal. Place your ruler centered on the fold and start the first cut, then continue cutting.

Or do what I would do--cut five 2 1/2 crosswise strips from a full width of fabric, join the ends with a diagonal seam, and use straight binding. You will use less fabric and it's way easier.
