Welcome to an exciting quilting journey as this video guides you through the art of machine binding, ensuring a polished finish for your quilting projects. Join us in unraveling the secrets of machine binding mastery with this step-by-step tutorial video.
This machine binding tutorial is hands down the best I’ve come across, and I’ve been avidly watching quilting tutorials for years. The technique of leaving about an 1/8th of an inch of the quilt backing fabric visible during binding application was a revelation! Why didn’t I think of that before? It’s clear how this seemingly simple step can significantly enhance accuracy and overall appearance. Currently, I’m free-motion quilting the last two bordered sides of a large quilt, and I’m genuinely excited about the binding process
Thank you so much for helping us spread the word!
My pleasure. Thank you for helping raise money to benefit the people in the South who have lost loved ones, homes, and in some cases, all familiar surroundings. –Scarlett
