Quilt Binding
by Freida
Are the instructions in your sampler quilt for binding a general rule of thumb for all sized quilts or does the binding need to be wider for larger quilts? Thank you! ANSWER Quilt binding widths generally range between 3/8" to 5/8" finished size (sewn into quilt). This is true for all quilt sizes. You could always make it wider, but most quilters use these standard widths. In my sampler quilt lessons, I use a non-mitered quilt binding. That's because it's simpler to apply. But you could also choose to add a mitered binding. Here's a link that shows what mitered binding looks like and also how to attach it to your quilt. Thanks for your quilt binding question. |
