I have several cones of this fusible thread. Now I know what to do with it. Got a serger for Christmas and this is how I’m doing my bindings. THANKS for a great video and the clear and concise instructions. BTW... Your quilt is beautifully done. 😊
This method works wonderfully! Thank you - I have used this to place the binding “where” I want it, then return to my sewing machine and bind with a decorative stitch and have good placement.
Great video. I've not tried fusible thread. I do use fusible products (mysty fuse and stitch witchery) to secure binding after sewing and for quilt basting. Another use for your serger is for putting a narrow serged line on your completed quilt top if you do not plan to sandwich and bind. Keeps ravels in check and seam ends checked.
Very Cool. Would your technique work with a quilt using a thicker batting - warm and natural for example? Also can I use an older Bernina serger? My old 1100 DA is a workhorse but it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the beautiful new machines
Sure! Warm and Natural should use 2 inch wide strip and 6 mm stitch width not 6.25 like I did in the video. Make a test sample to check the stitch width. This works on any serger.
Question. After you sew off corner at 45 degrees, and you turn fabric onto itself, where is your starting point to sew down next side? ….at the very top of next side or down 1/4”? Thank you for your help. Anita.
When you start the second edge after turning the corner, do you start a quarter inch in, or sew right from the edge? At the end, you briefly mentioned stitching in the ditch. Am I correct that you go back and stitch in the ditch from the front to hold your binding in place on the back? Thanks!
After turning the corner, start sewing right from the edge, not a quarter inch in. I do stitch in the ditch after fusing the binding in place. You could also hand stitch. Here is a video showing how I choose to stitch in the ditch. ruclips.net/video/GXG-PTwITNE/видео.html
Do you think that a variation of what you have done in this video with fusible thread can be done on a regular machine? I have a Bernina 830 and it has some stitches that may be somewhat similar. Certainly not as nice as a lower looper but I don’t have an overlocker. Possibly I could loosen a top tension?
Darlene, You can use the fusible thread on the sewing machine bobbin and zigzagging or overlocking in the seam allowance. It does not work to just have the fusible in the bobbin and straight stitch the binding on. There is not enough glue (fusible thread) with the straight stitch. I finish the edge of my quilt with an overlock stitch as soon as I square up the project so I could have the fusible in the bobbin for that and then attach the binding to the front with a straight stitch. The fusible would be on the back when I turned the binding to the back. You will have to create several samples on scraps to decide the best way to accomplish this.
@@SewShelly Thank you so much Shelly that’s a huge help. Especially the hint about making a few samples to test out the process. I have tried many of your techniques and I have had lots of success and I really do like a narrower binding then with a 2 1/2 inch beginning strip can give you. Thank you so much.
I have been wanted to do exactly this!! Thank you for an awesome video!! Will def try this technique soon. I have one question... Do you stitch the binding at all after pressing it into place? Or is the fusible enough to hold it permanently in place?? Thanks again!!

This is so cool. Another great use for my serger/overlocker. Thanks!
Awesome! My L890 still in the box!
Great Demo. another thing to use my L890 for.

I will try this! Thank you!
Brilliant thank you
Thank you sew much! Just what I need!
Awesome video!! Thank you!

Silly question, but is that parchment paper you are using when ironing the front?

when attaching the binding I start at the very top.
When you start the second edge after turning the corner, do you start a quarter inch in, or sew right from the edge?

I do stitch the binding unless it is an art quilt hanging on the wall never to be washed. Just stitch in the ditch on the front.
@@SewShelly Thank you!!
