Binding a quilt....just can't get it down
+3
I'm a starting out quilter so I am making mud rugs, mats, my own design table top but the binding just drives me nuts. Isn't there some good info on how to round the corners, block them? Or how to do it with binding strips? Don't have any pics but the quilting is good. I am proud of my matching up. Thanks, Robyn

Hi Robyn, I as well went through this and I found Jenny Doan to be very helpful. She is with Missouri Star Quilt Co. Try YouTube also. Hope this helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GVA05MxXTU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vCWpxBRs20

definitely check YouTube. I wish I'd had that resource when I started out. Trying to learn binding corners from books was hard! Good luck nd let's see some pics soon!

I agree with Cindy Borgen; Missouri Star is awesome on youtube and very educational.

My husbands grandmother from Tennessee taught me to quilt many years ago..so glad she did! If you have curved edges, you need to use a bias binding. Either factory made or you can make your own. The bias binding will curve nicely and will stay flat and smooth. If you have square corners, you can cut strip binding and just mider it in the corners. Once you do it, it's really east....

I too have found Missouri Quilt to "very" helpful. I enjoy learning from the one teacher. Thanks for suggestions. Have my binding down, now need to learn how to attach an adhesive back to an applique? Missouri quilt has a cute trick, I'm going to try that.
