S T
To attach the binding, place the first strip face up. Place the
second strip face down and perpendicular to the first strip; as
shown here. Then straight stitch diagonally from the top left to the
bottom right, as indicated by the line.
U V
Beginning on the seam line, place the binding face down along
the edge. Fold the starting edge of the binding back to make a
triangle, which creates a finished stop and start point. Pin along
one edge at a time, then sew along the raw edge at a 1⁄2” seam
allowance.
W X
Fold the binding back on itself, perpendicular to the seam
stitched in step V.
Trim this seam to 1⁄4” and butterfly press open. Repeat step S as
needed to join any remaining strips.
Sew using a 1⁄2” seam allowance, and stop 1⁄2” from the corner;
then sew at a 45 degree angle to the edge of the binding, as
indicated by the lines.
Fold the binding again. Align the fold in the binding with the raw
edges of the seam just sewed in step W. Align the raw edges of
the un-stitched binding with the next edge of the quilt. Then pin
the binding in place to secure.
