I have never made anything with an uneven border. How would you put the binding on this table runner?[ATTACH=CONFIG]416288[/ATTACH]

I am not a huge fan of the birthing method but in this case, I think it would be the way to go. You lay the runner face down on top of the backing fabrics that is face up and have the batt on the bottom. Sew all around the edges leaving a small section open the turn right side out. Trim around the edges, turn and then quilt. I think Jenny Doan has a similar design runner but with bigger squares that she birthed on her MSQC youtube videos. OR you could try to put binding on but I don't recommend it in this case.

Tartan, that is exactly what I was going to say!!!!

Tartan and Alikat are right! Jenny Doan has a tutorial that shows exactly what to do:

Thank you all for your suggestions and tutorial. The only problem is that I have already quilted the piece. Is there any other way to bind it or should I remove the quilting. I did quilting in the ditch around each square.

This is similar to birthing a quilt. Lay the quilted runner face down on a piece of fabric and sew around the edges. Cut out a rectangle in the center of the facing fabric, leaving about 1" at the narrow spots. Clip and trim and turn the facing to the back of the quilt. Finish the facing by turning under 1/4" and sewing down.

exactly as Tartan says. Too diff. otherwise

Tartan has it right.

if it's already quilted, you could still birth it with another piece of fabric and do some additional light quilting to hold that on. binding inside and outside points is doable, but is a pain.

............... and loses the great effect created by the points!


ITA with so many before, while I am not a fan of the birthing method, this is one time where it is called for!
