Tutorial: Invisible Binding Finish
One of the things I love to do when I’m finished with a quilt is the binding. When I finally mastered making the end and the beginning invisible, I felt that I had arrived! I thought I would try to show you how I do it:
And there you have it. Give it a try – it’s easier than you thought. I just know that’s what you’re thinking !
To be entered in the pattern drawing be sure to comment. I will be drawing four names first thing Saturday morning. Thanks for stopping by!
I cannot thank you enough for the great invisible binding tutorial! I think this way of finishing the binding is way superior to the other methods I have seen. I will try it on my very next quilt!
THANK YOU! Love to learn new things…….
I always have to stop and figure out how this thing goes together. Thanks for a great visual!
[...] a really wonderful tutorial at Celine’s blog for Perkin’s Dry Goods. Check it out: Invisible Binding Finish. If you haven’t been to the Perkin’s Dry Goods website before, GO! And prepare to spend [...]
Seriously brilliant! That is THE best way I have ever seen this explained. I’ll be linking to this tomorrow!
WOW!!!! A fellow quilter tried to demonstrate this technique to me at a mini quilt retreat but I couldn’t quite understand and she couldn’t quilt remember all the steps. Your steps and picture are clear and wonderful! Thanks so much for this tutorial
I am so going to try this! Brilliant, thanks!

Thank you for the class on binding. The pictures make it easy to follow each step. Maybe I’ll be able to do the binding without struggling so much.
Your method is very close to the one I use now. Seeing pictures of Steps 6-8 is what I needed to complete the joining process. I wear the ends out twisting and turning them before I finally get them together right.
I am making my second quilt and will definitely incorporate your lesson. The binding looks so neat. Thank you for tutorial, especially the step by step pictures.
Thank you for this. I have been trying to get the ending of my binding to lay right each time I do it. The tutorial and pictures really help and are easy to follow.
Thanks for the clear instructions – I got here from a link on one of my forums; you’ve really made more than one person’s day today!!
Thank you so very much for the visual…I like this method but it is usually trial & error with the measurements. Thank you!
Thanks so very much. Wonderful instructions and pictures. I’m printing this right now.
Thank you. Great explanation and pictures are so helpful.
Wonderful tutorial. You know pictures are worth a 1000 words but your words explained the pictures beyond compare. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the tutorial and pictures. I am making my 1st quilt. We are almost at the point of doing our binding. I will save this tutorial. It seems a lot easier than I thought!!
Do you know that this is the worst part for me to put binding on??? This looks sooo much easier than the way I have been trying to do it! Usually, I have to rip it out and re-sew several times before I get it right! I am definitely going to try this the next time I have to put a binding on! Thank you so much!
Love the pictorial form of tutorial, makes it so much easier to understand.
Do what you love so that you can love what you do.
Binding is the finishing touch to a big project, whatever the size. Judges always look at the quality of the binding, and blue ribbons have been sacraficed because of the quality or lack of it. This looks like an easier method than any I’ve seen, and I will give it a try in a week or two when my next quilt is ready for this step. Thanks.
This is an excellent tutorial because your photos clearly show each step in addition to perfect descriptions. Thank you from a visual learner! –Lisa
Thanks for the pictures, I’m going to try it with the pictures in front of me to see if I can do it.
Thank you for the tutorial on the binding. I have a tool to help me with this but the last 2 times I’ve sewed my binding I’ve managed to stitch the pieces together where one side is flipped over to the wrong side. Maybe I’ll do a little better without the tool.
Thank you for the great pictures. I always have troble fitting the ends together without getting them twisted.
Thanks

Thank you what a great idea taking it to class to show all the girls so they can try it on their next quilt.
Thank you Regards Grace
I have been doing my binding a different way for a long time but I love the way you do it. I am going to try it on my next quilt.
Your tutorial is so easy to follow. Thanks!
Thank you for the great tutorial. I will try it with my next quilt. I can’t guarantee I will get the same result, but I’ll sure try.
thanks for the visual. I will definately try this on my next binding..
That’s *almost* I how I do my bindings; but this tute is just enuf to do them better. Thx.
What a wonderful idea. Will sure try this.
very neat…thanks, Celine
what a nifty way to do the binding join. I am new to quilting and watched Sue do one on the diagonal and have tried it myself and it actually worked but it was very challenging. I am doing a project today and am going to try your method. thanks
I do mine a bit differently too — was taught by Melody Crust in a class. Same results. Nobody knows where I started and where I finished
Thanks …. I will print this for my next binding!
Thank you! Thank you! thank you! I have so much trouble with this especially the lining up the diagonal part to stitch- can’t wait to try this!
Printing it off to show my friend who is just getting to that stage of her next quilt – thanks for the great visuals they really help!
Your step 6 and 7 are just what I needed to make that last part easier. I always feel like I’m doing contortions to figure out how to get those two pieces together correctly. Thanks. Kathie L.
Excellent tutorial. I do the same type of join for my binding, but I do it my own made-up way. I will have to try your method next time! Thank you.
wonderful method

Wonderful tutorial. I usually add my binding on, when I am piecing and then sew it onto the back side. Good thing I have no aspirations of winning a ribbon;)

Great Binding tutorial. Once I learned to do binding it made quilting a lot more fun for me.
That is the first time I’ve seen this explained where I grasped it. Thank you!!
This is a great tutorial. Thank you for sharing it with us. I have been afraid of trying this method yet, the intimidation factor, you know. I think I will try it on my next binding job. Take care and God bless, Cory
