Whenever I need a quick quilt for a gift, I make Morning, Noon, and Night because it is so fast and simple to put together. It's one of my favorites for that reason!
No matter which quilt I make, I like to finish the binding by machine because it is quick and durable. Here's how:
Finger press the binding away from the center. Fold the binding around to the back and stitch “in the ditch”, catching the binding underneath.
Right before you reach the corner, look underneath and fold the edges exactly as shown. You may wish to place a pin to hold it. The side part must fold on top so it stays in place as it goes toward the needle.
Stop with the needle down at the corner to turn.
Terry’s Tip: I like to fold each corner when I get there because if I try to pin them ahead of time it doesn’t work as well for me.
Oh wow! You make it look so easy! Can't wait to try it. It sure would be nice to be able to machine stitch those bindings.
