How to Catch Front and Back Edges of Quilt Binding

 

This post has an affiliate link.

Yesterday I made quilt binding in a black and white stripe from Riley Blake and I really haven't made much of this type of binding that's simply folded in half, but will offer more rolls of it because many people prefer to use this type.

Ok, now on to what I really want to show you...how to machine sew binding to a quilt where you cover the first stitching line used to attach the binding to the quilt and also end up catching both the front and back edges of the binding neatly. 

Bluebottle Field Denim Grocery Bags

While ordering the fabric for these Basket Bags, I also picked up some of this Bluebottle Field denim from Art Gallery.  After a few years of working my stash off, my denim collection is down to scraps, and denim is one thing I do like to have on hand since it's useful for all sorts of projects. 

One thing I like to make with denim is Grocery Bags.  So as soon as this fabric was laundered and ready to go, I cut out a few bags out and stitched them up.

A Bunch of Roses

Gingham Rose Pincushion Cuff

Well, the "bunch" is a bunch of new Rose Pincushion Cuffs really, but the real roses will be blooming soon too! 

In the meantime, five new cuffs in three different fabric combinations are available in the Finished Goods section.  And, because some of you might be a little late picking out that gift for Mom, any order of $30+ on Saturday and Sunday will be upgraded to Priority Mail shipping at no additional cost. I can't guarantee the mail delivery times, but barring some sort of issue with the PO, the package should get to you by the end of next week.
