Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Tool
Here’s a straightforward guide on how to use the Easy Miter Binding Tool. This helps your quilt binding process smoother and more enjoyable.
1. Prepare Your Quilt
Once you’ve finished quilting your piece, the first step is to trim the batting to match the quilt top. This is crucial for a neat finish. Use 8-1/2-Inch Fabric Scissors with Comfort Grip to cut along the edge.
2. Trim the Backing
Decide how wide you want your finished quilt binding to be. In the step of ‘calculating binding for a quilt,’ trimming the backing fabric accurately sets the stage for a smooth binding process. You’ll need to trim the backing fabric twice this width by using Handle Rotary Cutter. For instance, for a ¾” wide binding, trim the backing to 1 ½ inches
3. Press the Backing
Fold and press the backing fabric so it meets the edges of the quilt top. This step is repeated on all four sides to prepare for the quilt binding.
4. Mark the Corners
Place the Easy Miter Binding Tool at the corner of your quilt. Align the tool’s lines with the corner, and draw a line along its edge.
You’ll also draw another line at the intersection created by pressing, forming an “X.”
5. Create an angle and miter the quilt binding
What we are going to do is fold it in reserve. You might have to twist your quilt top around a little bit to get this angle lined up properly.
6. Pin and Sew
Fold the corner right sides together, aligning the “X” marks, and pin it in place. Sew along the line you’ve drawn, then trim the excess fabric, leaving a ¼ inch seam allowance.
And use 8-1/2-Inch Fabric Scissors with Comfort Grip to trim approximately a quarter of an inch away
6. Form the Miter
Turn the corner right side out to create a mitered corner. Use a point turner to sharpen the corner, then press.
7. Finish the Quilt Binding
Fold the pressed backing over to the quilt top, covering the raw edges. Topstitch close to the folded edge to secure the binding in place.
