BINDING & FINISHING TUTORIALS

Let's discuss the process of finishing or squaring up, binding and labeling a quilt.

Before adding the binding, it's important to watch our video on how to square up your quilt. 

After that, it's time to bind! We have a variety of videos available that demonstrate different binding options, such as traditional binding, flange binding, self-binding and others.  We also have videos on how to make double-fold and single-fold binding as well as videos on how to make and join binding strips.  If you're unsure about how much fabric you need, feel free to use our free quilt binding calculator.

Lastly, it's crucial to watch our video on how to make a quilt label. The quilt label is a way of recording the history and provides information on who and where the quilt was made.  A valuable resource if the quilt is passed down to future generations.
