Connect Binding Ends Perfectly with This Easy Method

The Binding Will Fit and Lie Flat!

Do you struggle with connecting binding ends when finishing a quilt? This method by Marci Baker does not require any special tools and, according to Marci, works perfectly every time.

She calls it the “Twist and Shout” method because the secret is a twist that will make you shout “because it always works”. You start by placing a pin right at the 1/4″ seam line through a few threads of both of the binding ends. Then you twist.

Marci demonstrates the process in the following video. One tip we appreciate is pinning the quilt together so it stays out of the way as you’re working on the binding ends.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
