How to add binding to your projects the easy way

- In this tutorial, I will show you how to add binding to your projects. First, I'll use the traditional "quilter" style binding, and second I'll use the "garment" style binding method. I use both depending on my project and whether I can get away with using prepackaged binding.
I will show you a way to join your SHORT EDGES together without a tool. This method works! However, if you prefer a tool, I also have used (over 100 times) the Easy Binding Tool, which we stock here in the shop: sewhungryhippie.com/products/...
You can cut your binding to whatever width you want, but most quilt-style bindings are cut between 2 1/4"-3". I cut the demo version at 2 1/2" wide.
When I use quilt binding on straight-edge projects, I do not cut it out on the bias - I find that wasteful. I prefer to cut cross-grain, and it's worked for me for over a decade.
If my project had curves, I would cut the binding on the bias, as it needs to ease around the curves.
The Extra Wide Double Fold prepackaged binding is super easy to use, as it's already trained and pressed. You can press it around curves since it is cut on the bias when made a the factory. Start with the wider edge of the binding (when it's opened all of the way) and sew that crease down first, to the back of your project. Then wrap it around to the front and sew down that edge - this way the front stitching will always be on the binding on the back side and not on your work.
I'm using these tools in this demo:
1. Double-sided sticky tape is here: sewhungryhippie.com/products/...
2. Oliso iron: sewhungryhippie.com/products/...
3. Havels Scissors: sewhungryhippie.com/products/...
4. Universal chrome needle 80/12: sewhungryhippie.com/products/...
5. Wool ironing mat: amzn.to/3ODEZtr

I never fail to wobble along on the back side when I sew on a binding. I started using a zig zag or decorative stitch so it is not so obvious. I am just glad to know it is not just me who gets some wobbles on and off the binding in the back.
A decorative stitch is really nice to do - and no, I think we're in the majority of people with wobbles. LOL!
Love that floral black and white fabric and your necklace!😍
Thank you! It was DELIGHTFUL to make this necklace!!!
@@SewHungryHippie We need a tutorial for it! 😅💗
@@SewHungryHippie We do need a tutorial, PLEASE!
I always sew barefoot too! 😻I cut 3 and a half inch binding
This is what I do as well, but with a few differences which were making me laugh. Everyone has their own way of doing things! I used to always hand bind…..not anymore! Thank you!
Thank you for joining us!!!!! It is incredible how many different ways there are to do things! I love to share what works for me as it may help someone else!
First time viewer - love from Ohio 💞💞💞💞
Yay! Thank you!
Im just starting to get into quilting and learned from a friend there are no "quilt police", so whatever works best for you is right. Thanks for this tutorial - just subscribed for more helpful tips. Love the fabrics.
I totally agree!
Thanks for an excellent demonstration!! I like how you do not require perfection!
You are so welcome, thank you for watching.
Lovely, helpful video, Thank You!
You're very welcome! So happy it was helpful!
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
I have the same exact sewing machine and I love mine
Awesome!!
Great video tutorial!!! Loved the way you showed the joining of the ends and for some reason it seemed easier than before when Ive done it. Thanks again!
Glad it was helpful! Sometimes (at least for me) it takes a few times of seeing something to get it -- or I'm in a better mood and just "get it" more easily. Who knows, as long as it helps you. Just shout if I need to review it in the future! :D
Great demonstration on 2 different types of binding. Need to make potholders/coasters/mug rugs to practice on.
YES do it do it 😄😄
I made jelly vinyl triangle pouches this weekend! Quick and easy sew! ❤
Wonderful! how many Pam?

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing this double fold bias technique
Glad you liked it!

Rewatch. Thanks for the tips. I make my own, place over and use Serpentine stitch.
Sounds great!
Cute hair❤️
Thank you!
Thanks I appreciate this❤
Any time
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this. Beautiful fabric. I always sew barefoot too. More control i think .
I totally agree!
I enjoyed watching your binding tutorial! Thanks for showing another way to use two-sided tape! Lastly love your creativity of using pink binding with the black and white material!
Thank you so much!
Do you or anyone know how to attach a binding to an inside cut rather than outside curve? I have tried by cutting little slits at the corner but still lots of bulk and messy looking. thanks
Yes! I like to use Wrights pre made binding for curves like that, because first I iron it into shape-- training it to bend along the curve. If you're using binding cut on the bias, you don't need to clip or cut notches anywhere. Then I attach it just like this video. I will show this on a future live, thank you for asking .
Hi there, I just love your videos. You are amazing. Wanted to ask what kind of fabric/material do you use for your binding?
Hello! Thank you so much! It's great to have you here! The binding I make is 100% cotton, and the prepackaged binding it's 100% polyester.
@@SewHungryHippie ❤️
Great video! If you use the 2 sided tape can you wash the piece after use?
Yes you can!
thanks

I love that black and white floral material, may I ask where I can get some?
It is in my shop, but we are currently sold out. If you hit the notify me button my system will email you when it's back. sewhungryhippie.com/products/alexander-henry-sofia-heavy-oxford-1-2-yd-preorder
@@SewHungryHippie Yay! Done! Thanks sew much!
How do you know when you join the two pieces together which one is pretty side up?
Oh they are both pretty side down, I should do this again with a more noticeable fabric right/wrong side. Thank you for making me aware! :)
How do you know how long to make the short pieces? 8:53 I always feel like mine ends up with too much extra
Never mind-you explain it with the double fold binding
You didn’t show the difficulty in sewing those pieces together. I was wondering if you had a trick in sewing tight spaces.
Difficulty? Pin them together and sew - it's pretty easy because the binding sections are not fully sewn down to the project yet.
You didn't show where to cut the binding once you were trying to meet the ends?
After sewing the ends together I trimmed 1/4" from the sew line.
I made 8 lol
It looks like you are doing it backwards
Yes - if hand stitching the binding down, you would attach it to the front first and wrap to the back, then hand stitch it down to the back--but I'm using all machine so it is sort of backwards if you're used to hand stitch method. If you're talking about the double-fold version, sew the wider edge to the fabric first then wrap to the front. Thank you Harriet 🥰
