Add a Bit of Pizzazz with a Two-Color Binding!
Are you looking for that perfect finishing touch for your quilt? Consider a piped binding. While it won’t be right for every quilt, you’ll be surprised how many quilts it does work nicely for.
Inserting an accent fabric along the inside edge of the binding is a beautiful touch that can really set off the quilt and shows that you took extra care in constructing it.
While it takes a bit longer than stitching on a normal binding, it’s not hard to do. Plus, a piped binding can be completed entirely by machine. When you’re done with machine stitching, you’re done. No hand stitching is needed to finish off the quilt.
Susan at Quilt Fabrication has written excellent tutorial with clear photos showing every step for making a piped binding.
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.
