Thank you! I do something similar, I start and finish in the front. I attach binding to the front, roll the binding to the back and stitch in the ditch catching the binding on the back. I too use 2.25 wide binding. As long as I go nice and slow, I catch it every time. I also start be pressing.

Ugh, bindings! Necessary, but not my favorite part of quilting! There are a lot of methods out there, but I use exactly the same method you show, and it works the best for me. But, I'm going to try your suggestion and cut my binding 2-1/4" instead of 2-1/2" to make it a little fuller. Great video, as always!

I actually enjoy binding…now that I have mostly perfect technique. I settled on this method early in my short quilting career. I felt I had more control stitching the binding down to the front v catch as catch can for the back. But my first efforts were … first efforts.

I am not a hand sewer ( when ot comes to binding) sometimes if I am feeling adventurous I hit the button on my machine and change up the stitches to one of the "fancy" ones ( clearly I have no idea what they are called) that way it gives my quilts a little something and can hide a multitude of mistakes 🤭.

That’s exactly how I do it too, even down to the pressing! I have no time for hand stitching and get no complaints from my clients either! Tip: I use an open-toed foot when top stitching on the front side which gives me a clear viewing field and I know exactly where the needle sinks in.

An edge stitch foot offers a great guide to run on the edge of the binding for excellent uniformity. My Bernina walking foot also has that feature. Stiletto a mvp tool to manipulate with both precision and safety. I also use a longer stitch. Thanks for adding to the knowledge base. Building confidence through competence (practice and failing better) makes this process much more enjoyable.

That's right, I don't use a walking foot. But I do a couple things that might make the difference. I quilt my quilts right up to the edge so all those layers aren't moving or shifting. I also cut my binding selvage to selvage and that gives it a little stretchiness.... I don't pull on it while sewing it on, but I do hold it tight and I think that keeps it from creasing or bunching up. When I have cut my binding straight of grain (parallel to the selvage) I have had trouble with the creasing and bunching, so I know that part makes a difference.

When it gets top stitched on the flip side it doesn't actually catch the binding again... the stitches land just to the side of the binding into the backing a little.
