Sew the perfect binding!

Many of us (myself included) have been taught binding techniques, only to forget them when the time comes to bind. Fortunately, the internet contains a myriad of binding resources.

Some helpful YouTube videos include:

“The Ultimate Binding Quilt Tutorial” by Missouri Quilt Co

“How to bind a quilt: 6 simple steps” by Heirloom Creations

“Quilting Tutorial: Worry Free Bias Binding” by The Quilt Patch
