Hidden Threads

I am not a fan of hand sewing the binding onto my quilts. Over the last year or so I’ve been exploring the machine binding attachments available on the market, and as yet I can’t find one that sounds reliable.

As a matter of fact, what I can find are horror stories about most of the major brand name and generic binders. Out of desperation, I started using the reverse method, where you sew the binding on the back of the quilt and wrap it around to the front, then stitch it in place. After a little practice, this has worked great for me, and I’d recommend it to you too.

Pricilla Bianchi has a PDF that explains the process beautifully. Give it peek when you get a chance. Once you try this method, you’ll never finish a binding by hand again: All By Machine Binding Method
