How to Bind a Round Quilt Inside and Outside Sides

[@StacyBosch-lt4ot]

I haven’t been quilting for very long and I still am terrible at doing binding. My daughter asked me to bind a circular tree skirt for her and I knew enough to try to find instruction on how to do that. This video popped up when I searched Pinterest. Thank you so much for the video!! I knew nothing about bias binding but I was able to create it and do a great job on the tree skirt. I just know I would have been swearing and frustrated if I hadn’t watched the videos. And how excited was I to find this amazing source of all things sewing!!!!

Thank you, Laura! This is so helpful. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow.

Nice tip on pressing the fold for the small circle. Thanks. Merry Christmas, Laura. ❤️🎄❤️

[@jimdavidson3345]

Thank you for once again saving the day! I so very much appreciate your precision; I like my projects to look good and you always help me meet my goals.

[@debranelson2640]

Thank you!!! I needed this! And, for exactly the same project! You explain things so well. Honestly, there should be an award for best “tutorialist” (?) and YOU should receive it! Merry Christmas 🎄 and I look forward to many many more from you in the new year! God bless,xo

[@sunshinepjg2]

I so agree with your Comment .. very well done Laura

[@deliverysuccess1]

Such a beautiful tree skirt and I love the quilting stitch you used, thank you for a great tutorial!

[@patriciamoller3060]

Thankyou Laura , you explain every thing you do so very well

[@jiffer240]

I absolutely love your tutorials..Thank you for all you do..

[@denisemmunger9437]

Love your videos and how you explain everything. Thank you sew very much !!!

[@aliso-pv7ll]

THANK YOU! This tip will improve my accuracy in binding the Plum Easy round table toppers and hot pads. I machine sew binding rather than hand sew.

[@valerieroling8035]

You came to the rescue once again. I viewed your Xmas tree skirt tutorial, bought the ruler you used and the skirt came out wonderful. But then the sinking feeling hit (after admiring my skirt top) as to how am I would quilt and bind the piece. lol Little did I know you had that covered with more tutorials. Thank you for showing your method for quilting the skirt and definitely how to use the bias binding. You are the best! You are an excellent teacher Laura. Merry Christmas!

[@kathyvetter663]

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! Phew… I was making this too hard. Thank you!

[@dawng7173]

This was very helpful I love the tricks about turning the bias. 😊 Thank you

[@ssumner9757]

I always learn so much from you! I love your tip about joining the binding! That is my least favorite thing to do, but I think your technique is fabulous! Will try it on my next quilt. I quit making metered corners, & now make curves on my quilts. This will help even more! Merry Christmas🎅💓

[@dianebiscoe1343]

Thank you for teaching so directly

[@melissajoyner9478]

I'm going to make this for my tree next year!

[@willowmoonlabradors]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

[@janetroderick6446]

Wish I had seen this video before I tried putting bias binding on neck of baby ‘s bib. Great Tutorial

[@vickiwalker975]

Great tutorial! Thanks for the wonderful tips. Merry Christmas!!

[@IngridMijares]

Muy bien explicado. Gracias por el tutorial. No conocía el truco de la plancha en el doblez del bies. Lo tendré en cuenta. Gracias por compartir. Que tenga unas felices navidades. Saludos desde Venezuela!

[@beccajones8134]

[@bobbirowlett6728]

Thanks for the great tutorial. Love the instructions!! Wondering how your new sewing room is coming along. Any updates?

[@christenakavanagh5696]

Brilliant, thank you

[@doreensherk287]

Good tips Laura!!

[@hazelem1266]

Thank you thank you thank you! I’m just finishing hand sewing my quilt top and was thinking how on earth am I going to do this 😘

[@adrianaaragongalvan6465]

You’re a genius!!! Thank you 🙏

[@dawng7173]

Laura , Thank you for the wonderful directions , however my tree skirt has a cut threw the back to the center of it. So where would you start the bias with this one.? 😊 Thank you and happy holidays.

[@BleedingEyeDisturbed]

This was wonderful! And please someday do a scalloped border? I’m nervous to do a Wedding Ring quilt because of just that! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

[@karenpresley7101]

Thank you for the tips. You are such a beautiful lady and I love your hair. I wish mine would hurry and turn from the salt and pepper it is now. :) Merry Christmas.

[@kimwaknitz7594]

It looks great, thanks for showing how to do curved binding. But how do you use this as a tree skirt, all that I’ve seen are not sewing in a complete circle so that it can be wrapped around the tree base.

[@SewVeryEasy]

Please take a minute and watch the video where I make the tree skirt. I explained why I have done it this way. Thanks for asking

[@kimwaknitz7594]

SewVeryEasy guess I missed it.

[@kathyderouchey8221]

I must have missed something. The tree? How do you get that shirt around the base? I'm just going to guess that you put the trunk through the middle hole before you stand up the tree in the tree stand? But it is a beautiful shirt.

[@Babs-Veterans-are-Family]

She showed in her previous video 2 ways either don't sew the end wedges together leaving a slit, or the way she does it is put her tree stand down first then tree skirt over then tree in stand.

[@SewVeryEasy]

Please watch the video where I make the skirt. There I explain why I do it this way. Thanks for asking

[@nekhatazmi4879]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year laura

[@SewVeryEasy]

Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you too and your family

[@kathycase9774]

Super cute!

[@junehemphill6653]

How much fabric required to make the bias binding

[@digging4roots]

I've been looking for a method of doing the same inside and outside curves, but finishing by machine without having puckers. Have you ever found a way to do it? Hand sewing is not an option with my arthritis.

[@judygraham9007]

Thank you 😊

[@emmari0601]

Wonderful!! :D

[@veevee111]

👍 Thanks for sharing, it's a beautiful skirt. PLEASE PLEASE teach us how to make a Chandelier Quilt? I would love to see your detailed tutorial on this one rather than read it off some book or paper instructions.

[@SewVeryEasy]

I'll have to look into that Thank you for asking

[@SewVeryEasy]

Also if you could send me a link to a picture it would give me a better idea on what quilt you were talking about. Thank you

[@Babs-Veterans-are-Family]

I wish you showed us you stitching more instead of cutting to that point. Also many of us do not hand sew. I'm a busy mom of teenage girls no time or patience for hand sewing.

[@dianaames4946]

I also gave a hard time with hand sewing...arthritis in my hand. How can we do binding with our machines?

[@trishwormsley7903]

Babs perhaps teach your girls how to do the hand sewing. Or, use invisible thread and machine stitch both sides of the binding.

[@SuzetteG316]

Well maybe when you are the one putting out a free tutorial and give of your talents, time and efforts, you can do it "better". Seriously, Laura took the time to make this beautiful, helpful tutorial and you take her to task for not doing it in a way that suits you? Shame on you.
