Making all four of my kids their own Halloween quilts....Here are 2 of them. Does anyone have tips for hiding the stitching on the back side of the quilt binding? I am new to quilting, have only made 3 quilts.

Great job on the quilts :thumbup:

Love the baby on the quilt :mrgreen: What a sweetie

As for hiding the stitching , if you are doing it by hand it just takes practice :lol:

If you're doing it by hand, do a blind hem from the back only, and only stitch through the backing & the binding. I machine stitch all my bindings (cheating, I know), so the stitching always will show.

They're both darling! That baby is pretty cute too! If you're hand stitching the binding to the back, Google some videos. Sometimes it's easier to see the technique in motion. You're doing a great job for a beginner!
