For years I was afraid of sewing continuous binding. The results are amazing. You can't tell where you started or stopped your binding, which means now lumps or bumps where you tucked in extra fabric. But if you screw it up, OMG you have to start completely over.
But when I tried it for the first time I realized that continuous binding is actually pretty simple and nearly impossible to screw up. You just have to be able to measure and cut accurately, something we all should be a pro at by now.
We cover a ton in this video tutorial. I show you:
- How to sew your binding strips together
- Fold and press them in half
- Tips for managing a big long strip of fabric
- How to sew the binding to the top of your quilt using a walking foot and maintaining a quarter-inch seam
- How to sew mitered corners into your binding
- How to attach your ends for continuous binding
- How to trim your quilt top
- How to sew your binding to the quilt back using an invisible stitch
- How to tie a quilting knot
- How to tack down your mitered corners
This is a long one, so I suggest making note of the parts you think you may need to see again the next time you bind and writing the time codes down so you can skip straight to them.
And even though our quilt will be done after this video, we still have one video left in this series where I will show you how to make a quilt label and talk about how to care for your quilt.
So congratulations! You have made a quilt, but come back for one more video tomorrow!

I want you to know that you have the best video on binding! I haven’t bonded in many years and forgot all I learned-ugh!
You are an excellent instructor. These are the best quilt tutorials I have watched. Thank you very much.
I’ve been quilting 20 years, and still like 2 1/2” binding. Enjoyed refreshing what I know. Thank you for the series.
I am learning so much thank you for this series.
Put your binding on your extra spool holder. Works perfectly.
I bought a large and short binding holders that are wooden dolls that hold my binding!
@@vickirobles3406 I also have a Binding Baby, I put it on my extra spool holder on my machine. But I also just roll up the binding and use it on the spool holder, works great. 👍🏻
I've never quilted before but have made a first quilt using these instructions in two weeks. I added two extra 'twosies' to make it a bit bigger, and also a border. I hadn't even used a rotary cutter before! I loved the pattern and it has all worked really well, much better than I'd feared. The one part of the tutorial course I found tricky was the binding. I don't think 2.5 inches is wide enough - it certainly didn't give me as wide a piece of edging as you have in the video - it is not even enough width to cover the stitching line on the back when it's folded over. Maybe I misinterpreted something? Anyway, I think I'll make the binding five inches wide for my next one. (I'm making quilts for my twins' 21st birthday - I have to get the second one finished in two weeks as well!) Onward and upward!
great binding tutorial Always wondered how to hand sew the corners
This is a wonderful tutorial. Around 34 minutes, I did get a little confused as to how you lost your thread. Why is it that you only sew with 1 strand of the thread as opposed to tying both strands together into a knot and sewing with two strands?
Thank you. Great tutorial. 😊
What happens if you put binding on back instead of front. Can you still hand bind or should you just machine bind.
when you say batting and backing fabic are you meaning the BINDING and the backing fabric or are you actually going through the batting? newbie here so i just want to make sure i have the correct instuctions
Great question! And yes, you actually go through the batting when binding.
I am new to quilting and your tutorials have been so helpful to me! I have a question about connecting the ends of the binding. I used your method when I made my first quilt and it was a perfect fit. Do you use the same method if the binding strips were sewn together straight instead of at an angle?
If they are straight at each of the ends you only have to take into account the 1/4 inch seam allowance. So you would only have 1/2 inch layover.
I have never seen anyone sew the binding on before squaring the quilt/cutting off the excess backing/batting. Is there an advantage to attaching the binding first? Do you not have issues with the quilt not coming out squared, or do you do something else to check for a wonky corner or edge?
Stephanie explains that in her view, it is more advantageous to keep the batting attached because the walking foot’s edge has fabric to grip to on both of its rollers that way, which makes it easier to get a straight 1/4” seam. She explains how she trims and straightens the edges afterwards. She is more focused on a consistent binding that an absolutely square quilt. I know other experienced quilters who do the same. I have done it both ways, and find that keeping the batting on does make the walking foot more stable with that narrow seam.
