Quilt Right Up to the Binding with This Great Tip
| February 21, 2019 | Quilting How-To
This is Especially Helpful for Narrow Borders!
Do you want to quilt right up to the binding on your quilt? Or, is the border narrow and you need more to grab onto? Consider sewing on the binding before you quilt the border (leaving the binding unattached on the back).
Doing so allows you to see exactly how much room you have to work with. You can quilt right up to the binding without danger of any of the quilting design being cut off when the binding is applied.
There are other benefits, as well, which we’ll let Beth from Cooking Up Quilts explain.
