I’m sorry but you don’t need a special foot I only know this way from my grandma and I’m 76. Women doing it this way when treadle machine came into being. I don’t have or never knew my mom to have a special foot for it. Slide your binding up on quilt edge flush and put your foot down and sew. I’m so glad someone is now using the old world way of binding. Thank you
I don’t know if you realize this or not but this method of binding was the only way the way all the old time quilters did their binding my grand mother would be140 years old my mom would be 108 I learned from mom she from her mom. This is the way they all did binding. I’ve watched dozens of channel to see why no one of the young or in their 60 never use it. Some one saw your way and just didn’t like it she said the corners were to difficult. I’m sure she just didn’t pay attention or how could anyone not agree this is just crazy easy and mitered corners so perfect
This is a great tutorial! I think everytime I sit down to bind my quilts I start by looking at tutorials searching for an easier and better method!! I need to fnd that bi-level foot. I don't have one for my machine.
One month each year, I make 12-15 quilts to send to Kyrgyzstan to people who live IN a landfill. These quilts do not have to be pretty. They have to be functional and keep homeless people warm. I hate putting on bindings and when I found this I was ELATED! I just tried it and it is a game changer! Love it, Love it, LOVE IT! Took me less than half the time it usually does. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial. I have always been afraid to do a double fold binding. I am going to try to find the foot for my machine. I have a Janome and in doing research I found that they only make the foot with the lower part on the right. I did find that Babylock has both a right and left side option.
Watching your video and the zig-zag or squashing the edge of the the sandwich, I am wondering if I could (should? should not?) run that edge thru my serger? Seems like a quick easy and secure way to do this step? Your thoughts?
Great tutorial! My machine has trouble going through all the thickness in the corners and I have to use a ‘jig’ to help get over the hump. Thanks for sharing.
I have used this method also. I usually use a decorative stitch that is a little wider so I can be sure it catches on the back. Great tutorial. Thanks. I have never had any of my bindings fray or come loose using this method.
Thank you Lauren. Quick question because the binding is single in the middle of your made binding does that not mean the binding will deteriorate quicker. Why I mention that is because everyone folds their binding in half so there is a double layer of fabric throughout the whole binding. What do you think?
I did mention that in the video.. I think... lol now I'm not sure. I suppose it can but the question really is what is quicker? I have quilts a decade old we use all the time wash and wear and they are not deteriorating after 10 years I bet it'll last a few decades easy. And for me that's enough time for my quilt to live lol.
In my opinion this is the only way to bind it’s a way from 100 years old so it must be right. Old women quilting was done the fast and strong way at every thing they did that’s why we can still find quilts over a hundred years old.
Thanks for sharing. I have been learning FME & FMQ for the past couple of years. I also collect and try various machines and get rid of the ones I don't care for: I too am at around 30 machines.
You do not need a by level foot. Why ? No needle shifting needle either. Just put your foot on the binding where you want your seem and sew. My mother did it. No special feet. I do it. No special foot and no needle shifting. Try it. Just keep it simple
My mom quilted all her life I learned from her of course and she from her mother. I just never understand the young people doing measurements in seven eights and and silly little measurements like that. The real quilters would just use common since and say 1 inch instead of seven eights. How silly just making it seam complicated. Young people I guess
Great video Lauren!
Thank you!

Can't wait to try this. I have my next quilt almost ready to bind.

It might be called something other than that like. Top stitch foot? I never know the proper name

Needle-down setting would help. I have a Husqvarna too and that setting helps.
I didn't realize that was a setting that people might not have but I suppose you could just turn the wheel till the needle is in the sandwich
Interesting, thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!❤
I also have a Viking and that looks like the Left Edge Top Stitch Foot.
Lol thank you! That's probably what it's called! I don't sew a ton so I have no idea just know what it looks like. 😂😂

Wonderful idea! I am going to try this on a set of placemats toget the hang of it.
Yes something smaller will make this easier to try! Good idea!
I've bound two quilts this way. Lol can't do it thirty minutes yet though.
Serging those edges. Genius.
It's so helpful! ❤
Thanks for sharing. I will definitely try this!
Hope you like it!❤

Happy to.

Binding ends are always a challenge, but I will master it one day. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
❤ thank you

Also the serving and zig zag stitching helps to reinforce everything too ❤ forgot to mention that
Great tip! I'm going to give it a try!!
Awesome! I wish you luck! 😊

Wowzer that's alot!
Love the idea but my machine will not work with this. No bi level feet and my needle does not move

You do not need a bilevel foot I have no idea where you would even find one. It works with a regular foot.
Try Not starting in the corners just making a thick mess start on the side keep the bulk out of your corners
By serging or zigzagging first, you are adding a step. I’d call this a two step process.
My mom quilted all her life I learned from her of course and she from her mother.
