This is just what I was looking for!! My friend suggested putting the backing on this way, and I didn't understand how to do the corners. Perfect tutorial, now I know! 😊
Thanks for saving us! My 11 year old and I had to finish a quilt tonight. We did batting, backing, quilting and binding all in one night! WHEW! Done! Now to enter in a show tomorrow. God bless you! :D
I cant wait to try this.I am doing a large quilt for my grand son and wife in the air force and I want it to be nice .I did not want to do a regular binding since my backing fabric blends nicely with the front.Great video...Anita R.
I have tried many time to bind anything much less a large quilt. Thank you for the tut. cant wait to try i think i can do this and it looks beautiful.. thanks again Barb
I was looking for this technique! I am tackling my first quilt, and was looking to avoid making the bindings. I actually have two vintage quilts that I purchased a while back, and this technique was used. I was worried about having a wonky back seam. God knows I can't line up anything! LOL Thank you kindly, for sharing.
Lorena - love this technique. Watched your video from a year ago when you first introduced it. Glad to see how it can also be used for larger pieces. Thanks very much for sharing. My niece that I"m making quilted place mats for is going to think I'm so (sew) experienced thanks to you.
I've clipped into my back fabric once! Now I fold back the backing and I only do a small area at a time. I always use Elmers glue or fabric glue sticks.
Thanks for sharing your process. May I suggest a solid colored background for the presseing steps, because the patterned ironing board fabric makes it a bit difficult to see, due to the low light setting.
Great video! I usually make the traditional binding & blind stitch the front, but I'm concerned if I use this method & only blind stitch, that the quilting might start to come out near the edges for lack of stitching over to secure them... You mentioned that you do sometimes blind stitch with this method? Have you ever had a problem with the quilting coming up, particularly where you had to trim an edge?
No I have never had any of my stitches come out. At one moment I thought maybe the binding would be to light and the fabric would wear but I have several quilts this way and the stitching has stayed. Usually you lock your stitches in and if you don't lock them in you can tie a knot and pull the thread through the quilt and lock in the stitches that way.
I'm using a Panasonic cordless iron! HSN has them for sale I think and walmart online has them cheaper if they have them in stock ! I love this iron it works great!
If you use a permanent fabric glue just in the top layer of the corners, there would be no small opening there, yes? I don't know how such a glue would work with a machine needle, but I change my needle after every project anyway.
Did you fold that over three times? It appeared so, but then in the comments it sounded like only twice. And oh! I’ve read that this method isn’t as “strong” as a regular binding, & wasn’t as good for quilts that would be washed often (i.e. baby quilts). Is this true? Do you know why? (Or is that just snobbery from some quilters...🤔😆) Thank you!
I have done this to several quilts and the binding has lasted a long time!! But truly I haven’t had a problem.. maybe because it’s not as many layers? People thing it will wear ..
Great tutorial and what I was looking for to do on my quilt!, However, I do have One question, when you sew the binding on the topside, are you folding the material under or just sewing it with the raw edge sticking out? If the raw edge, is there any fear of future fraying on the edge? Thank you!
when you cut an inch all around that fabric is folded in and then you fold it over so it isn't a raw edge. You fold the one Inch on the edge of the quilt top then fold that area on top of the quilt top! After that you sew or hand bind... sorry if I'm repeating myself .... once you sew or hand bind I have washed the quilts several times and never had them fraying. Or the raw edge somehow folding out! I hope this helps!
Lorena, you really need to move next door to me! Love your videos.
This is just what I was looking for!! My friend suggested putting the backing on this way, and I didn't understand how to do the corners. Perfect tutorial, now I know! 😊
Thank you 😊
I just tried this for the first time and it is fabulous! Thank you so much for this tutorial! The back looks so much better with only one sew line.
I’m so glad it worked for you!!
I like the fact you use the back fabric for the Binding. That saves a lot!!
Thanks for saving us! My 11 year old and I had to finish a quilt tonight. We did batting, backing, quilting and binding all in one night! WHEW! Done! Now to enter in a show tomorrow. God bless you! :D
I hope you do great at your show! You made me laugh! Lorena

ThoughtfullySewn by Kathleen I’m so glad you like this video!
You are fun to watch and you do a beautiful job teaching; always on point❤
Thank you.

Yeah I have clipped mine too😔 thank you for your comment!
This is the way my mom and grandma tought me years ago. It waste less material and I think it looks just as nice.
Carla Hollingsworth thank you for your wonderful comment I appreciate it!
This was wonderful, I hate doing the binding but this is a terrific method
Tina Vazqueztell I hope you try it and that you have great success!!😂
This is a great technique for a large quilt! Thank you so much!
Kira Litvin Thank you for your comment!

thank you for your comment... thank you for the suggestion..
This is my favorite way to bind quilts! I've never tried the glue stick. I will have to try that. Seems easier and faster than pinning. 😀
You will love the glue stick !!! 💓💕💗😍
Thanks so much for this! Your glue technique is great.
I hope you try it.

Beautiful
What iron are you using..? I like the idea of cordless... Enjoyed both your videos on this method!
I'm using a Panasonic cordless iron! HSN has them for sale I think and walmart online has them cheaper if they have them in stock ! I love this iron it works great!
+Lorena's Quilting thank you for watching!
Just flip it over, lay back the backing and cut the batting...scissors are an easy mistake
DJ Summers Nice tip!! Thank you!
That’s my thought as well. Less room for error!
Wonderful tutorial. thank you
Your so welcome. Thank you for watching.
I like this method
Great tutorial
Ruth DiPaolo Thank you for watching ... I hope you try it and it works for you..
That was awesome!! Thank you!
Brilliant...thank you!
Thank you great technique
Anita Prokopis Thank you for your comment!

thank you for the suggestion.
That's how I do all my quilts too!
I love it... I get quilts done real fast.. that is binding them..
Great video!
thank you so much..
THANK YOU

Flossiesmommy Caine I folded fabric in half then filed it over on the quilt itself.
I have done this to several quilts and the binding has lasted a long time!! But truly I haven’t had a problem.. maybe because it’s not as many layers? People thing it will wear ..
Thank you!!!
Can I use this technique on a full size quilt? Thank you
yes your can.. I do..
Awesome! Thank you!
I’m so gland you like it!

Tell me about your iron
Panasonic cordless iron I will put video on it for you!
Panasonic Cordless iron comparison Review ruclips.net/video/s9o9QajGzK8/видео.html
Do you have the pattern available?
This is pinwheel combined with a disappearing pinwheel! Lorena
Your so smart
peg arnett thank you😂
please show the corners better I cant see what you are doing...
Anita Rocheleau I'm sorry but here is the same process but on a smaller scale hopefully this helps ruclips.net/video/hw_OBqG_nAI/видео.html
Wish you had put a piece of white fabric behind the quilt it is very dark to see the actual corner.
Teresa Finnerty I did the same exact process on this video! ruclips.net/video/hw_OBqG_nAI/видео.html
I hope it helps..
Elmer's school glue
Yes wash away Elmer’s glue!
