How to do a Wraparound Binding on a Quilt

[@lucirandall4051]

I had to watch about a dozen videos of self-binding techniques before I found yours. Your method is exactly what I wanted. The others mostly were adding 10" to the backing to do a border/binding thing. Not what I wanted for my little mugrugs I'm trying to finish as gifts. So... a Big Thank you!!!

[@Willie-MaeDeShield]

Thank you so much, after a few years of trying to master this I found your video, it’s beautiful, just what I needed!❤❤

[@georgeschoffstall7181]

Finally someone that I can understand. I'll try this. Thanks.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

So glad it helped George!

[@beaner2907]

This is really helpful, with great information and explanations. Not a lot of quilting videos show how to do the binding and this is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

You're so welcome, glad it was helpful!

[@karihorn8896]

I have watched many a video on how to bind a quilt with the backing fabric, This was definitely the best. Thank you!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

So glad it helped!

[@rosemaryhanderson6122]

Saw this and forgot to write your name down. I refused to stop searching until I found you. I recognized your necklace. Whew that made me calm down, haha. Thank you for teaching this so well.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Aww thank you so much Rosemary!

[@colleencharles2302]

[@barbaraking6431]

Thank you sew much!!! Most helpful tutorial I have seen on self binding EVER and I've watched at least 30.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

So glad it helped!

[@verlenedawson2064]

CORNERS: Fold the pointed corners of the backing fabric over the quilt front to begin this binding. Make a perfect triangle that measures FOUR INCHES ON EACH STRAIGHT SIDE OF THE TRIANGLE. The backing fabric for the binding extends 2 inches beyond the rest of the quilt. The same ratio works on other bindings. ( example: to make a finished 1/2 binding, start with a 1 inch backing binding fabric, then fold a triangle 2 inches on each straight edge.) Raise up the folded miter before stitching it and just whack off the triangle point underneath so it doesn't show. This is a very good tutorial, with all the things we like: no extra talking about the weather etc., just plain, easy to understand instructions and great visuals on how to do this from someone who is an expert, no background music. Thank you.

[@artisticFROG]

I have viewed a number of videos using this process. This was by far the best and easiest instructions I've seen. Thanks!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

So glad it helped!

[@elizabethannwest646]

Super video. I love this thanks😊

[@kathleenpeterson9479]

Perfect! Wish I had learned this earlier in my quilting journey!!

Very helpful I used this technique on my quilt with minky backing Corners came out perfect Thank you!!

[@lindastandre1115]

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

So glad we could help!

[@lindastandre1115]

Quilt completed! Binding looks perfect! Proud to present this quilt to my friend today.

[@jolenemikkelson2350]

Thank you for providing exactly what I wanted to learn today!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

You're welcome Jolene!

[@mssurora]

One of my favorite videos. I watch it before I bind every time and still see something new. Today I realized that as well as I planned this out, I should have thought more about auditioning the backing fabric. I wound up piecing my backing. Ok. But I never thought about the pieced portion showing up as part of the binding. Haha. Oh well!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Glad it helped!

[@marywise2014]

First time I see a tutorial on the fold-over backing for binding. Very well explained, I will try this on my next quilt. Corners are flattened and mitered so neatly. Thank you for sharing this great video.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

So glad it helped!

Wow, I have never seen this technique before... And I absolutely love it. My name is Zelda and I have a channel called Zelda Sews. It is a very small channel.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Thank you Zelda!

Hi Loretta Beautiful demonstration. I went through some fabric and have enough squares to make a 9 square quilt. So, once laid out, I will be in for fabric for the backing. I will use this binding to finish the quilt. Thank you again

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Bring in your quilt, Barbara, when you come. We love to see finished projects!

I’ve never done my bindings like this but I’m going to give it a try. I love the way the mitered corner looks. Thank you for doing this video! ❤️

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

You're welcome, Donna!

[@miric6224]

Hi Loretta. Thank nice, clear explanation. Thanks.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Thank you Miri, glad it helped!

[@marionbartley214]

I'm so glad I found your site I LOVE your quilt binding technique. The mitered corners make so much sense. I would rather experiment with getting the dog ears correctly with the iron. Then folding the fabric the typical way when doing binding.Only to have to pick it out and try again. !!!!... I seem to have trouble getting the fold wrong at times. But with this technique I really think I will have a better chance of having a beautiful mitered corner. I'm going to give this a try on my next quilt. And watch it step by step, thank you again for this wonderful video.Mery Christmas ❤️🎄🧑‍🎄

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Glad it helped Marion!

Excellent demonstration! So helpful as I’ve been looking for a tutorial on this technique to use when making project bags with a wrap around back.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Thank you Julie!

[@conniel.4601]

Great directions, thanks!

[@martakessinger4171]

Great demonstration, I am new to quilting and this is really helpful, thank you!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Glad it helped!

[@margrietvancamp9419]

Thank you for the wraparound binding on a quilt video. I needed refresher. My question is about how to adjust the presser foot tension, light or heavy, when using the walking foot and or the dual foot.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

It depends on what model machine you have, not all of them have that adjustment available.

[@kayfields6420]

Love this way to bind!!

[@SharonMiitchell]

I like the look of your corner

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Thank you!

Thank you. Great video. Might give this a try.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Thank you Cheryl!

[@wendyharvis818]

GREAT video Loretta!! I would also like to learn more about bias and regular straight binding, thanks for your consideration!

[@videofan010861]

This is great method for volume and charity quilting. Will definitely use. One question: I never end up with a square quilt after adding backing. Your method seems to presume that the quilt is square before you measure and cut the fabric for the fold over. How do you make sure your quilt is square, or does that matter with this technique?

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Make sure you're using an accurate 1/4" seam when piecing. When measuring for sashing, measure the center of the blocks/quilt, rather than the edge. Things like that will help make sure you're quilt is more square towards the end. Depending on what your quilt looks like, you could also try squaring it off before layering it.

[@lizfowler7109]

Awesome job! Thank you sew much!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Thank you Liz, glad you enjoyed!

[@sarahfbjj]

great video, thanks!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Your welcome Sarah!

[@lindajune2073]

Loretta’s nails look fine! I think that was very rude of you to say that she should see a manicurist before doing her videos.

[@amyaucoin7566]

I was actually thinking to myself that she has lovely nails.

[@barbarasmith1555]

Great job! You make it look so easy. I would like to see the back of the quilt where you sewed the binding on.

[@gerrymonds483]

Great tips

[@lorrainenielson9298]

Awesome, love this , and easy too! I wanted to check out your website to see other videos or playlists and there is absolutely nothing there. Did I goof up or is there something I missed?

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

We do have some other videos up on our channel. Here's the link below. We are also starting a new series where we are posting every Thursday, so this is only the "2nd" one of those. kzbin.infovideos

[@janeanndouglas9231]

Loved this, especially since I had tried this recently without instructions and my miter corners were a MESS. Can you please show the stitching on the back so we can see how the corners look on the back side. Thx ☮️

[@verlenedawson2064]

Do the center folded edges of the finished MITERED CORNERS need to be hand stitched or machine stitched together? I don't think they do because there are no raw edges inside. If you take a look inside, you can see that the center edges are completely folded. What do you think?

[@carolynlfarlow3635]

Have you ever used Minky or Fleece to do this ?

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

You certainly can, however do a wider binding as it's a thicker fabric, and it would be rather bulky if you make it too narrow.

[@RhondaHousley]

Thank you so very much!!!!!😮😊

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

You're so welcome!

[@RhondaHousley]

@@HayesSewingMachineCo please show us more. I’ve been making it so much harder than it has to be.

[@ragingsmirk68]

I found a plastic tool to mark the miter corner - you then sew it RST - flip - you have a perfectly mitered corner. This might make another great video.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Thank you for the suggestion!

[@lindagunter8339]

Can you do the same corner with the regular binding?

[@sarahpearson2851]

Loretta, I love your videos. I live in Florida so we'll probably never meet face to face but I would love it if you retired to Florida. LOL. Have you ever done a tutorial on squaring up a quilt? I've seen a few, but those are for people who have perfect blocks and perfect seams in their quilt. What if your quilt is less than perfect? How do I square it up? Thanks.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Glad you're enjoying our videos! It depends a little bit on the quilt how you would square it up, but traditionally just use your 6x24 rotary ruler and run it alongside the edge, and trim the excess.

[@seekercons4498]

Great tutorial, been looking for something just like this. You were clear and thorough without any excess. The person holding the camera needs a bit more practice keeping things clear and steady, but overall this was a really good video.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Glad it helped!

[@pambroderick5825]

Could you do this technique with fleece 23:42

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

No you can't because you can't iron fleece.

[@jacquiesharrer9954]

Do you happen to have a teach sheet of tips of this binding technique to print?

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Sorry we do not

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I have a question what would happen if you left the sandwich interior instead of cutting it off?

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

It would be bulky and not line up well

[@sharongraham9815]

Thank you so much.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

You're welcome Sharon!

[@hopegarcia6881]

Wow, thank you

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

You're welcome!

[@zibahayatshahi3507]

Thank you🙏🌈🌺

[@laurahawkins912]

What if you are using fleece

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

If you are using fleece for the backing fabric, we would not recommend doing a wraparound binding as it's going to be too thick to sew through. Do a separate binding for that particular quilt. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5jGZ4CnpdecZ5o

[@marlenejones6266]

A little too much blabbing before we got started. I like to get to it and i really dont care what you found in your drawers during covid but i forwarded this part to get moving.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

That's the fabulous thing about videos, just fast forward to the part you want.
