MAKING A BIAS BINDING TUTORIAL

Take any size fabric, if you are using 42"-44" wide press out the fold. 7/8 yard of 42"-44" wide will be enough for a queen size quilt (90 x 108.)

1. Lay out fabric wrong side up.
2. Take top right corner and fold down to meet front edge of fabric.

3. Now take the bottom right corner and fold toward back matching corner.

Like this.

4. Take right corner and put to same corner as before.

Like this.

5. You are folding the fabric back onto itself each time.

6. Fold the little tail that is left over toward fabric on to itself.

7. Cut 1/4" off the folds. You will not be using these.

8. Turn fabric carefully so the cut edge is on the left if you are right handed. Cut 2 1/2" strips. OR 2 1/4" strips whatever you prefer.

Like this.


When you open out the strips they will be separate pieces of bias. You will need to sew them together end to end. Like this.
Press the seams one way. Then press the entire strip in half length wise and now you have a bias strip for binding! IT IS SO GREAT FOR STRIPES!!! Sorry the photos are not that great....I have never really wanted a really good camera until I started blogging!

I'm so glad you shared with us how to do this! I'm always trying to figure our the tricks of the pros.
Guess what? I came home from taking the kids to play on the mall toys and there was a paper on the door from the mail carrier. I missed a package from Heaven's Best. YOUR package!!! So, I am going to cancel any plans I might possibly be able to have tomorrow and stay home so I don't miss it again. I am so excited! Can't remember the last time a fun box came in the mail. The suspense is killing me! :)

Well isnt that clever. I do it with the fabric folded over just once, then I start cutting but I'm going to try your way. Love it.

Hey Sherri I tried to email you after you commented on my blog but it was returned to me undeliverable. Just wanted you to know I'm not ignoring you. :-)

Thanks for this! Seems simple enough. I will certainly give it a try with a striped fabric for a binding idea.

I've always wanted to know this, even though I haven't attempted a quilt for 35 years! (That's soon to change :)
I'm grateful to you for showing us this trick, and, also, I want to tell you what I heard: I heard that a package for you was mailed yesterday! Don't know if it's true, but, hey, you might want to keep an eye out for a Spring surprise!
