Love It or Hate It?
Several months ago,
Sew Mama Sew asked me to round up some quilting tutorials, and so far, I've shared
12 Fundamental Quilting Skills and
8 Modern Ways to Back a Quilt. Today you'll find
15 Best Binding Tutorials, a pretty exhaustive collection. {
Just click here.} There's a few of my own {
striped binding and
straight and
angled matched binding} plus a dozen more, several of which I'd never seen before. You know I like to put a twist on my quilts' bindings, but even so, I was surprised and impressed at some of the techniques I found, and I'm pretty sure you'll find something new to try, or a tutorial to make your favorite method even better.
Binding a quilt is one of those things you swoon over or dread. {I'm a swooner!} For some reason, I am just intrigued by how folks finish their quilts. So much so, I've taken 2 online surveys this year here on A Quilter's Table, just to feed my curiosity. The first was about your binding decisions {
survey and
results}, where the second was more about your actual technique {
survey and
results}. Interesting reading for sure - and a good resource when you're considering your binding options. And this new
round up will be a terrific added resource.
Thanks to those who gave permission for their techniques to be shared, and remember, I also recently posted Emma/
joworimakes' tutorial for
hand blanket-stitched binding - another to add to your own personal round up.
So have you tried some of the tutorials I mention in my
Sew Mama Sew post? If so, or if you have another we should all know about, please share in the comments. How you finish your quilt can really add to the overall effect. Isn't it great to have so many options?
