How to do a Wraparound Binding on a Quilt

Loretta Hayes from Hayes Sewing Machine Co, located in Wilmington Delaware, shows how to do a Wraparound Binding on a quilt. This is where you take the backing fabric and bring it around to the front of the quilt to bind and finish off your quilt.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

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. I am getting back into quilting along with garment sewing. I subscribed to your channel because I liked your description you had in your bio and I just like the way you present.❤😊❤

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Thank you Zelda!

[@rebeccagolling4693]

Loretta, your instruction helped me finish a bday quilt for my son and daughter in law - one hour before their baby shower. Your clear instructions were wonderful!

[@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!

[@michele.the.quilter6174]

Thank you for this video! I am making a charity quilt for our Quilt Guild and this is a great refresher on how to do this. Great tips!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

So glad it helped Michele!

[@kaybaertlein541]

I just found you and this tutorial. I loved it, thank you. This is my preferred way to finish my quilts however, I have always had a bit of trouble getting the corners neat & tidy. This is so easy. Thanks again.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

You're so welcome, glad it helped!

[@kayfields6420]

You had me at Dog Ear! Your technique just boosted my confidence so much that I'm no longer afraid to finish Quilts now. I made a Quilt in two days and it's on the bed being used by a very happy Birthday Boy!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

There you go, glad it helped!

I enjoy sewing bindings on but I love this method and will be giving this a try. Thank you!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

You're welcome!

[@barbarabunting3800]

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!

[@marywilkinson7752]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I’ve been wanting to try that type of binding but didn’t know where to start. Excellent video, and I love your quilt!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Glad it helped, happy quilting!

[@kathleenkonegan8]

Love the look and ease of doing this binding. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to next weeks video!

[@anitahamrick4827]

Thank you …. That’s just what I was looking for and the way you explained it was great …. Just subscribed!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Glad it helped Anita!

[@Mjohn27883]

Great lesson, as always. I learned a new technique that I will put to good use.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Thank you!

[@JAShaskin]

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!

[@gerrymonds483]

This is so easy. Thanks again.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

You're welcome!

[@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!

[@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.

[@martakessinger4171]

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

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Glad it helped!

[@miric6224]

Hi Loretta. Thank nice, clear explanation. Thanks.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Thank you Miri, glad it helped!

[@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.

[@conniekirby851]

Wow that looks great

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Thank you Connie!

[@ellenpringle5582]

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Thank you!

[@lizfowler7109]

Awesome job! Thank you sew much!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Thank you Liz, glad you enjoyed!

[@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.

[@cherylmalinowski7011]

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

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Thank you Cheryl!

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I love your “Covid” quilt. Very new at this…..

Thanks, looks very do able!

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

You're welcome, jump right in!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@sharongraham9815]

Thank you so much.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

You're welcome Sharon!

[@hopegarcia6881]

Wow, thank you

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

You're welcome!

[@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!

[@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

[@lindagunter8339]

Can you do the same corner with the regular binding?

[@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 ☮️

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@jacquiesharrer9954]

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

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Sorry we do not

[@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

[@pambroderick5825]

Could you do this technique with fleece 23:42

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

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

[@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.

[@1Nadnerb2]

WOW, very cool love this I like the instructions that you gave in this technique of combining the back with the border thank You, may I please ask a favor of you would you please use a sex-neutral term in your videos because LADIES are not the only people who quilt even if you just say fellow QUILTERS I was rather uncomfortable hearing you say LADIES 4 TIMES IN THIS VIDEO it made me feel like I was an outsider and that I didn't belong I know you probably are unaware that you do this it would be great if you would be more aware of the fact that no matter what your sexual orientation is male or female we are all QUILTERS thanks again for a cool video !!!!

[@rosemaryhanderson6122]

And yes your nails do look fine. I’m rather tired of seeing fancy fingernails that cost so much money.

[@patriciamoller3060]

Clever girl , please show me more clever ideas

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

We'll do our best Patricia!

[@AminaLinn]

Dear Loretta, Enjoyed all the information you gave, it helped me a lot in finishing my quilt. As a retired manicurist, please give your self a manicure before your informative videos.

[@HayesSewingMachineCo]

Glad the tips helped your quilting! Not enough hours in the day =)

[@Lsutube963]

@AminaLinn you should be ashamed of yourself. If you don’t like her nails, why don’t you just move on and miss this informative very well-made video. You need a nice pill.
