SELF BINDING -

Self binding in quilting
ChatGPT said:
Self-binding in quilting (also called “fold-over binding” or “self-mitered binding”) is a technique where the quilt backing is used to create the binding — meaning the backing fabric is cut larger than the quilt top, then folded over to the front to finish the edges.
It’s especially popular for baby quilts, placemats, table runners, and mini-quilts.
Here’s a clear, simple guide:
⭐ What Is Self-Binding?
Instead of sewing a separate binding strip, you extend the backing fabric beyond the quilt top by a few inches. After quilting, you trim the batting, fold the backing over twice, and stitch it down.
This creates a neat, soft binding with mitred corners.
🧵 Why Quilters Love It
Faster than traditional binding
Great for beginners
No need to piece binding strips
Lovely polished look on small projects
Uses less fabric overall
📏 How to Do Self-Binding (Step-by-Step)
1. Prepare your quilt layers
Cut backing 4–6 inches larger than the quilt top on all sides.
Example:
If your quilt top is 40" × 40", cut backing about 48" × 48".
2. Layer and quilt
Make your quilt sandwich (backing → batting → quilt top) and quilt as desired.
3. Trim the batting only
Trim the batting to be flush with the quilt top.
Do not cut the backing.
4. Trim the backing evenly
Trim the backing so that it extends ¾"–1½" all around (depending on your desired binding width).
Most quilters use 1 inch of backing beyond the top.
5. Fold the binding
First fold: fold backing edge to meet the edge of the quilt top.
Second fold: fold again over the top to create the visible binding.
Press to keep it crisp.
6. Miter the corners
At corners:
Fold the first side.
Fold the second side over it.
A natural miter forms — adjust until neat, then clip or pin.
7. Sew down the binding
Top-stitch close to the inner fold using:
straight stitch, or
decorative stitch (great for baby quilts!)
🌸 Tips for Best Results
Works best on small/medium quilts; large quilts may distort.
Choose backing fabric that complements your quilt top — it becomes your frame.
For bulky corners, trim backing slightly before folding.
Use quilting clips instead of pins to avoid shifting.
