Easiest Way to Cut and Join Binding Ends - Quilting Tutorial

Follow step by step how to easily cut the ends of binding strips and joining the ends together to produce a beautifully smooth finished edge.

Notches shows the traditional way of joining the ends together as well as another way, saving time and binding.

If you produce quilts with the same binding, the second method will save you money on fabric as there is very little wastage. You are not starting and stopping with excess binding.

Whether you are just planning your project, or about to finish joining the ends of your binding, this video will show you how easy it is to do without any special tools, rulers or calculations.

It will take the fear and anxiety out of cutting out the last of the binding strips!

This technique applies to any width of binding strip.

Although this technique is shown on a small sample quilt, the same can be used for binding clothing and other projects.

Thanks for using Old School shears! Some of us simply cannot use rotary blade tools due to handicapps.

I have watched sooo many videos on this and never got it until now. Thank you so much for the clear explanation! I’m directionally challenged and have a super hard time.

[seasidestitches]

Thanks so much for this. Have been tying myself in knots all morning trying to join all my strips using the other method of joining it as a square! Just like you’ve joined it at the end! This way is so much more logical to me! Your skilled but more simple approach is much appreciated!

Are these methods different to how you normally would do them? If yes, is it easier and faster for you?

The tips shown in this video for quilt binding can also be used for the bias binding used for garment necklines, armholes, and hems. She gave us a double treat!
