Binding By Machine

A quilt isn’t truly finished until the binding is complete. In this video, Kristie Smith introduces an alternative to traditional hand-finished binding and shows you how to complete your quilt using a machine-binding technique.

Traditionally, quilt binding is attached to the front of the quilt and then folded to the back, where it is secured by hand stitching. While this method creates a beautiful finish, it can also take a significant amount of time. Machine binding offers a faster option while still creating a neat, durable edge.

Using your sewing machine to finish the binding can reduce the hours spent hand stitching and add extra strength to the outer edge of the quilt. With a few key considerations, machine binding can become an efficient and reliable way to complete your projects.

Kristie walks you through the process step by step, sharing helpful tips and techniques along the way to make attaching and finishing your binding easier. Once you try machine binding, you may find it becomes one of your favorite ways to finish a quilt.
