Just back from our annual Quilting in the Woods Retreat. So many of the ladies had questions about binding and how to finish. “What is the formula?” one asked. So I decided to do a short video on how to join the ends of the binding.
The formula is simple, take the size of your binding and subtract 1/8″ (e.g. 2″ – 1/8″ = 1 7/8″) this is the measurement you use when overlapping the binding.
This is a free video available to both members and non-members. If you’re ready for more clear and easy to follow video tutorials, sign up for membership now and become a master quilter in the comfort of your home!
P.S. new dates for QITW for next year is Jan 10-13th 2013. Price is $325 (includes lodging, food and laughter!).

Great video, Aimee! The directions were very clear and concise. I am always looking for new ways to bind my quilts and I will use this method for sure. thanks very much!
Thanks Amiee that helps alot!
Thanks for the video, very helpful
Wonderful tutorial. So plain.
Whenever I have done my binding this way I wind up with way too much fabric. What am I doing wrong?
