Very clever girl, thankyou you have saved my day

On method two (the binding that is not ragged on the back) I did the following to prevent so much thickness on the back. I cut my binding strip 5" wide and folded it in half to get a 2.5" wide strip as opposed to a 3" one. That gave me one clean edge because it was folded (I placed this edge on the back of the quilt) and one raw edge for ragging (that went on the front). I then proceeded the clip this strip on just as you did with just a little less on the back. This made two fewer layers to sew through. Worked great for me.

This is awesome, so much more finished and full looking! Best way is NOT ragged on the back.Thank you

[MoovinOnEstateSales]

Genius! I'm all ready to make a ton of rag quilts for charity and I'm so glad I found your video! I've never been crazy how "weak" the edges of rag quilts look - this is awesome! Thanks :)

[annflynn]

I love that border I think I’d prefer to mind the edges like that it looks so lovely and neat

[laurielantzsmith]

Such a good idea! I'm so glad i found this and did it when i made a rag quilt for my new grand nephew.

[lesliecook]

I love it! I'm making rag quilts for Christmas bazaar.

[angieallen]

Thanks! Always get good info from your videos! I have 13 rag quilts planned as Christmas presents. 7 are completed including two using the no-cut techniqe! Thanks again for your great content!

[mumtazramjeancoowar]

Or you can use a walking foot and not worry about having to lift the pressure foot because all your fabric will move smoothly together.

I love this way, I been making me A Queen rag quilt. THIS is My next step .Your the only one that makes it simple ❤❤❤

[dianaroman]

Have you made a rag quilt with three layers of flannel instead of batting? Would you still add the x to keep them together? Is the thickness somewhat comparable? Thanks!

[Xxspeedsonic]

I’ve done something similar. Except I used a silky binding. I just sewed the outside layer of flannel with a 1/2 seam to get a small ragging effect. Then sewed a silky binding to the INSIDE layers of the quilt.

[pattymiller]

Thank you for your video! You make it fun to watch :) I like the ragging on the back. I imagine it helps hide any crooked stitching you or I could have. When you use an extra piece of material with your batting, is it the same flannel material you use to make the quilt? I’m thinking of using a color piece that matches my other material. Thanks again!

[sewwhat]

I just do a regular binding with NO ragging on the border edge....try it

[lindameyers]

How can i make my rag blanket bigger ? It is finished but looks way to small for my 2 year old toddler .Its already ragged can it be made bigger at this point?

[breneewilliams]

I love how that binding looks. Thank you for sharing how you did it.

[donnashields]

your enthusiasm is inspiring! love this idea of creating a border finish for my rag quilts am sure to try, thanks!

[jonigordon]

Can I use cotton on the back and top and flannel in the middle?

[DeboraAlexander-ixfm]

So when you fold your 3 inch binding in half you are sewing the front and back side down at the same time with a 1/2 inch seam? If so I am very confused when I get to the first corner because I have to fold the top and the bottom before making that turn. I am very confused on this step
