Using a walking foot, carefully stitch in the ditch through
all of the layers. This method minimizes how much thread
shows on the top of the quilt. We suggest using either
a matching thread or clear monofilament thread when

Next, trim the excess backing from around the quilt. Your seam
allowance will be ½”.
Now we will attach the binding. You will need enough 2” wide
binding to cover the perimeter of your quilt, plus a few extra
inches.
Starting on a seam line, place your binding strip along the edge. Fold the starting edge back to make a triangle (large circle),
creating a finished start and stop point. Make sure the raw edges of the quilt and the binding are placed right sides together.
Pin along one edge at a time to secure the strip to the quilt top (smaller circles).
