Great technique! Would like to have seen the thread a darker color for the tutorial. And what would you suggest if we don’t have a preset foot with a blade in the middle? Thanks for sharing!
I am physically challenged when I hand stitch so your method is very welcome. I can’t wait to give it a go! Thank you for breaking down the information about how the sewing feet and threads are used. Well presented.
Again, thank you!
No it is corners using the angle ruler NOT at all about using or making as in that first video which is a new way of doing them and certainly worth trying out
Rosemary Sanker Neiss I will. Kathy Donnelly Sawyer has been a Pfaff teacher and is in my quilt guild. Pfaff has an “offset” foot that we use. Cut the binding 2-1/4″, press in half; attach to BACKSIDE of quilt with 1/4″ seam allowance, using your 1/4″ foot. Wrap to front side. Put OFFSET foot on. Make sure you have your zigzag throat plate in place. Move your foot about 5 movements to the left so the needle catches close to the binding edge. The offset foot rides right along the left side of your binding, yielding a perfectly straight stitch. If you want to know more about the method, let me know, or better yet Kathy Sawyer, to talk you thru her wonderful way of turning corners and finishing the binding.
Except for 1 or 2 times, I have always sewn quilt binding on with a sewing machine and never had any problem doing it. And my corners are always perfectly mitered, too. No need for yarn.
I wonder how all of that washes. I knit with that yarn a lot and it shrinks quite a bit when it is washed, maybe all the stitching would prevent that. I also wonder it you are just adding bulk in your corners.
You need to click NEXT then go bit further down to where the video bit is to press play. Some of them have a 2 nd bit so you scroll and go to next again. Hope this helps you as there are good videos out there to learn by
Kathy Donnelly Sawyer, do you have any tutorials? Have you considered doing some? Your directions are excellent. ALSO, have you considered teaching classes on Craftsy?
Thanks so much for the compliment, Cathi! I just haven’t had the time to devote to tutorials. Craftsy is wonderful but I think you have to “be somebody” to teach there. 🙂
When I used to sew for public all those years ! I made lots of baby quilts when I decorated nurseries. Also did some daybed size. I did it all on the machine .
Joy Daphene Holmes Gray I don’t make em right … I just kind of do it my way … Cause I’m a home body and before you tube and google I just did it the way I had it figured in my mind
I hate binding. That is my project today. I have about a foot left to hand sew on the quilt I made as a house warming for a friend in Alaska. I am so excited, I get to hand deliver it!
I wouldn’t think it shrinking would make a difference since it isn’t anchored down with stitches. The bobbin thread washes away so the yarn is just floating in the edge of your binding
I’m going to try this. I don’t like the way my machine finished bindings look so I do them by hand. I think the yarn will leave an added dimension to the binding that really appeals to me. Thanks!
this was interesting although I may never use this method…I don’t mind stitching binding by hand…it does take time but it always looks professional in a vintage sort of way…

I think you would want to change your bobbin thread from the wash-away before sewing the binding onto the quilt.
