Machine Binding Tutorial

[@marciahowe9555]

For everyone that likes the 'binding board,' this is a very easy (and cheap) way to make your own. All you need to do is place two long pins parallel to each other on your ironing surface an inch or two wider than your iron (stop the video and look at her board). Make sure your pins are heat resistant and that the middle section of the pin is wide enough for your binding to fit under when folded in half. Then you can slide the binding in just as shown in the video and voila, you have a 'binding board." I prefer to use that $40 for fabric instead of buying one more quilting tool. You can see hers is getting burned too from having her iron always in the same place. This way, you can move it from spot to spot and have your ironing board cover last much longer.

Cory, I use a binding clip to hold the quilt body and pinch the body and clip. That way, it gives me extra space to work with making that last joining stitch on the binding.

I always had difficulty getting the edge of the binding. A few weeks ago I saw another truck. Elmers glue stick to the backside so you are positive it is in the right path. I got it all glued down and then hand sewed it because it was for an dear friend. I have donation quilts that need quilting and binding. Twill try with no pressure.Hugs and thank you for the great video. I wrote down directions for the connecting binding beginning and end. Always have to do several times so please tell people to not cut until sure it’s not twisted. If cut and wrong more work to be done.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Elmer's glue on the back works if you are attaching to the front and then finishing on the back. With that method, you would be stitching in the ditch on the front and then need to make sure to catch your binding on the back without being able to see where it's at & the glue keeps everything in place nicely. With the method I showed in the video, we are attaching to the back and finishing on the front so we don't have to worry about catching the binding on the backside with our stitching.

[@cr2884]

@@CorianderQuilts yes I understand now the difference. I will have to try your method as well. Fortunately I have some quilts for charity that I can try the different ways. I have to now always ended up hand sewing because I didn’t like the look of machine. Would you mind showing me or telling me how much extra batting you leave when trimming before turning the binding. I don’t like the baggy look of binding either. I need to know how much to leave when I trim so 2” binding covers.

[@CorianderQuilts]

@@cr2884 I think it's great to try out different methods for machine binding! I tried out so many different ways until I was happy with how it looked. You might find you prefer doing it a little bit differently than I do. I cut my batting even with the quilt edge, no extra.

[@cr2884]

@@CorianderQuilts I will have to try this. I was taught from the beginning to leave a little extra to wad up and protect the edging. I will try it once your way as it looks clean and with my arthritis and other finger issues it will help my hands work longer if I can machine bind. I want you to know I like your finished product lines the bestest. So I will be trying. I’m making baby quilt today so may try on that as time is running out before holidays. Thank you so very very much for taking your time to explain and get me set in the correct direction. Happy Holidays and HUGS!

I am so glad I watched this tutorial on machine binding because I have only ever made one quilt in my life and that was over 20 years ago. It was hand appliqued and I finished the binding by hand. So I am pretty much brand new, but I sew clothing, doll clothes, fleece blankets and any craft that I want. I am a very confident sewer I would never not do something because I have never done it before or because it looks hard, that's just not my nature. I watch a lot of quilt videos on all topics so I feel very ready to sew my second, first quilt lol.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I hope the video helps! =)

[@lthornb1]

This is how I do my binding as well. I also find that using a stiletto gives me more control and accuracy. Also as mentioned before when joining strips I offset the overlap a little and you can see exactly the diagonal lines to the corners. And this also helps with the final join at the end making the binding fit perfectly.

It sounds like you have a great technique!

[@smeade1645]

Thank you so much for the tutorial! It is very thorough, especially the part about needing to adjust your binding to match the loft of your batting. I generally just use what I have and really have no idea about the different types (something I want to learn more about). I generally make the same width of binding and now I’m seeing the advantages of going a bit narrower. P.S. I think I may have heard your machine asking for a drop or two of oil. 😀

[@CorianderQuilts]

Batting does make a difference! I oil and clean after every 5 bobbins which keeps things running pretty smoothly but maybe she gets a little dry like I do in the winter. 😂

[@wamx7489]

I also do my bindings like you do with the exception of using invisible thread when topstitching the binding (on the spool and in the bobbin), so if my sewing gets a little wonky on the front or the back, it really isn't noticeable. I use Sulky's 100% polyester invisible thread. CONGRATZ on getting your lovely quilts bound!

I like how nice and neat it looks. I've just finished cutting 2 1/2" strips for a quilt I'm working on so I'll keep it this way but next time I'll take your advice and try a 2" binding strip.

Corey you have encouraged me to once again try sewing my own bindings on. Binding is the one thing about quilt making that I have truly disliked doing so much so that by the end of 2019 I had seventeen quilts that only needed binding 🤦‍♀️ In early 2020 I found Tina who enjoys binding quilts and has been doing mine every since. She adds to her limited income and I have beautiful finished quilts. A win win. Whenever I tried doing it myself my ends, that you sew together, came out lumpy and looking crappy, the thread always showed on the back and the binding on one side of the quilt was always larger. (I cut my binding at 2 1/2”) I have a small wheelchair lap quilt I just finished for my daughter and after watching your video one more time I will bind it myself. Thank you for great instructions. Wish me luck.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Good luck Debbie!---you'll have to let me know how it goes!

[@mollyrussell2455]

Thank you for the tutorial. I am going to try this way of binding today. You explain this beautifully, even I can understand it. Thank you again!!!

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're so welcome!...I hope this method worked well for you. =)

[@patsycrawford3131]

I’ve watched numerous videos on how to bind by machine. This is by far the easiest to follow! I appreciate you showing the binding stitches so closely on both sides. This video really pulled it all together for me. Thank you!

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're very welcome! I'm so glad you found it helpful!

[@vivaldi1948]

Love how you did your corners when sewing the top of the quilt. I'm never satisfied with my corners but will give your technique a try. I use low loft batting also and always use a 2" binding.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I think that 2" binding makes such a difference when machine binding. =)

[@vivaldi1948]

@@CorianderQuilts I love it when my binding is nice and snug.

[@CorianderQuilts]

@@vivaldi1948 Me too...it also makes it so much easier to keep the seam on the back tidy.

[@baseballquilter8984]

Aah! Got it. I will have to try 2". You are correct about the 2.5". Thank you again!

[@CorianderQuilts]

It makes the biggest difference for me!

[@sisa31608]

Thank you so much Corey, that helped me a lot, I only handstitch the binding on the back because I like this so much.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I'm glad you enjoy hand binding. It's always nice to have a bit of handwork, isn't it!

[@melindaostergren8115]

This video was perfect for me. My hands keep getting older somehow and it’s harder and harder to hand sew the binding to the back of the quilt. I’ve just always used 2.5” because that’s what I learned back in the day. And I’ve never liked seeing the seam on the back when I’ve topstitched from the front. Doy! Simple idea, lovely result. Thank you.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I hope you find that size to be just what you are looking for! I too, started with 2.5" binding, then went down to 2 1/4" and then 2 1/8" before landing on 2" as the width I liked best for machine binding.

[@melindaostergren8115]

I tried the 2” binding today and am very pleased with the results. Thank you again for the tutorial and for replying to my comment as well. I’ve shared your video with every quilter I know and they are so happy to learn your strategy.

[@CorianderQuilts]

@@melindaostergren8115 Thank you so much!...I really appreciate you sharing with your friends. I'm so glad this technique worked well for you.

Thank you. I loved this binding tute. Glad I chose to watch yours as I will be binding my very First quilt. Am grateful for ALL the tips included.

[@CorianderQuilts]

You are so welcome! You might like watching some other tutorials as well. There are a number of different ways you can machine bind a quilt.

[@mlsawdon9368]

I real enjoyed watching you and explaining each step you were doing , thank you ❤

[@CorianderQuilts]

You are so welcome!

[@sewnsew4fun]

Great tutorial! Thank you so much. I've never seen machine binding come out looking so nice. You do an amazing job sewing straight and consistently. Wow!

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thanks so much! I've had a lot of practice machine sewing binding. Plus, finding a technique that works well for me has helped with consistent results.

[@kaybaertlein541]

thank you, thank you, and thank you for this clearly explained tutorial. It allowed me to see exactly where my problems have been with my previous bindings and how to fix them. I am excited to bind something now. Thanks again.

[@CorianderQuilts]

You are so welcome!...I hope this video helps with your machine binding!

[@2359glenoaks]

Hope you got them all bound. I'm certainly going to give this a try since my hands are getting older hand binding is getting a little more difficult.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I certainly did!...thank you for checking in on me! =)

[@tracywilliams5779]

Cory, I just want to tell you I love your fabric line, quilts and I just bought your OH happy day book. An easy way for you to describe how to sew that diagonal seam is Corner to Corner. Thanks for all you do. ❤

[@CorianderQuilts]

Oh thank you!

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Another busy day for me getting things done and organized for Monday's filming. I so enjoy sitting with my hand quilting and watching your video! I hope you have an amazing day! Thanks for posting this video.

[@CorianderQuilts]

You are so welcome!

[@marcyhenri1177]

I just found this video that I missed when it originally came out. I can't wait to try a few of your tips because I always struggle with machine binding. Pressing after attaching & the way you are the corners on the front look like total game changers! I always enjoy your videos & always learn something new! Thank you so much!

[@marcyhenri1177]

Oops! ...the way you are SEWING the corners...

[@CorianderQuilts]

I hope it helps!...I thought switching to the 2" binding made such a difference.

[@patcarnine8798]

Great information and the best explanation I’ve had for binding a quilt! Thanks so much! Pat

[@CorianderQuilts]

I'm so glad you found it helpful Pat!...thank you!

[@pamelawray5290]

Thank you so much for your wonderful binding tutorial, it was very straightforward and helpful...I was always messing up my joints and corners. Now I understand where I went wrong. Your method is much easier than what I had been doing previously. Also, I had never heard of a binding board before... what a great time (not to mention finger) saver! 😊🎉 P.S. You're a very good instructor, clear and to the point. Also, your quilts are lovely!

[@CorianderQuilts]

I'm so glad you found the tutorial helpful. I know, for me, having a technique for machine binding that I am happy with has saved me so much time! And thank you so much for your kind comments! =)

[@dis9168]

I always do scrappy binding. Very good video! I am a new follower!

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thanks so much for following!...I really enjoy a scrappy binding. I always save the cut-offs from binding so they can easily be sewn into a scrappy binding whenever I'd like.

[@gwengibson8016]

That binding board!!! 😮 I’ve never pressed mine after attaching the binding. Definitely going to try that. Thank you Corey!!

[@CorianderQuilts]

Love the binding board! And yes!..try pressing after attaching…I was surprised what a difference it makes.

[@KarenGreene51]

This has to be one of the best sewing hacks I’ve seen.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Being able to sew binding on 100% by machine is such a time saver. =)

[@carolbarnes7844]

Never thought of pressing binding after first attaching to begin finishing binding. Will start doing and remember size of binding with weight of batting. Good information. Thank you always

[@CorianderQuilts]

I think it makes such a nice difference taking that extra step. =)

[@terribishop5313]

Well no wonder this video is the talk on everyone's quilting videos it's very cool!! ❤️

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thanks so much!

[@sewquilty]

Thanks so much! I have watched other "Machine" Binding videos but could never get mine to come out as well as "traditional"--YOURS is the Best!! Very clear directions. Love all your fabrics.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thank you!--I hope it helps with your machine binding!

[@sewquilty]

@@CorianderQuilts I tried it this morning and it worked great! The 2" binding makes ALL the difference! I make a lot of charity projects so this will be wonderful.
