I just purchased an Evolve Baby Lock Serger; at a silent auction. I can't wait to try this way of quilt binding. Thank you for sharing this technique 🙂
A great demonstration on using the serger in the sewing room. I use my serger for all the things that you demonstrate, and I just love the end result. (Though my serger is 30 years old, it is still going strong!)
I like to sew the binding to the back and bring over to the front. The binding on the back will be just on the outside of the binding (on the quilt). Given that we are working with fabric and not everything is perfect (though your topstitching will be with the edge foot!), there may be some cross on the bobbin stitches between binding and the quilt. Keep that in mind when choosing your bobbin thread.
This was a great video, thank you. I’m going to use it tomorrow! I’m excited to dust off my Baby Lock Evolve and use my fusible thread for the first time. Small tip, though as a new user. Your digital dual feed foot switch wasn’t turned on. I’ve watched several videos about people joking “you have to remember to turn it on!” Yours was definitely off. 😢
What width did you cut your strips? And I think you said 7.5 for the needle width? Getting reading to sandwich a quilt and will be ready for binding soon so anxious to try this.
A standard binding is 2.5" which will allow ample room for sewing with a 1/4" and then bringing forward to to cover the stitch line. Some folks use a narrower binding, but I would recommend 2.5" to start.
Wonderful tutorials. I’m new sewer and am learning so much from you.

I never thought to use the fusible thread! Game changer!
Wow! Now I think I can use my serger for any project that needs binding. First, I have to get a serger. ;0) Thank you!!

Such a good video! It was a pleasure listening , watching and learning. Thanks.
Perfect video thanks so much
Such a helpful video. Now I have another way to enjoy my brand new Babylock serger. Thank You!!!
Thank you for an excellent video and detailed step by step instructions.
I would have liked to have seen what the binding stitches looked like on the back

Great tutorial. Thank you. How wide do you make your binding strips?
Why don’t you use the chain stitch to stitch down the binding?
Where do I find your binding holder?
How large is the binding before you folded it.

I wish you had said how wide you are cutting the binding, because It's not self-evident when you use a serger.
I don't know if you received a response, but set my width at 7.5. It made a perfect 1/4 seam allowance.
