Serger Saturday for Quilters- Overlock Stitch & Fusible Thread: Perfect Quilt Binding

In this final installment of Serger Saturday for Quilters, Sara Gallegos shares her absolute favorite use for a serger on quilts: making perfect bindings. She uses fusible thread on the lower looper, regular serger thread on the upper loopers, and-with a few specific tricks-creates the perfect quilt binding.
Notions used: Wonderfil Iron n Fuse thread, Madeira Aerolock thread (40 weight), Reliable Senza 200DS iron, Clover Wonder Clips, stiletto. (The quilted sample was made using Westalee Design Quilting Templates and rulerwork foot.)

I love this. I will never do my binding any other way. I have always loved my serger, but this way of doing binding makes having a seerger an absolute necessity.

Wonderful binding method . Thank you!

I love Wonderfil thread. I prefer to piece with Decobob a cottonized 80wt polyester thread. It is strong and reduced bulk, particularly with blocks with manifold seams. Thanks for your demonstration.

[@ellenhofer3343]

This is GREAT & simple to follow.
Try you edge joining foot to sew down the binding for a perfect straight line

Question: what width is your binding? I typically cut 2½".
A friend just sharing your video with me. I love this use of the serger! I have an old Singer that I need to clean and learn to use. I'll definitely try this method of binding my runners and quilts.
