First Stitches Tutorial #7 - Hand - Binding Your Doll Quilt - Three Methods Susan Standley Stitch In Time 2023-12-01 | This video contains three different methods for finishing your quilt binding by hand. Technique #1 and #2 are evidenced in the antiques I have handled. These two techniques use the methods that were likely available in 1840. The final Technique #3 is a more contemporary option with mitered corners. The Mary 1840 - St. Louis Doll Quilt Experience was designed for hand stitching but can certainly be accomplished by using a sewing machine.If you have never applied a binding, I would encourage you to watch all three options before beginning.PLEASE READ*******NOTE**** If stitching through all the layers to attach the binding proves to be too difficult for you by hand, you can stitch through the binding and into the batting taking extra backstitches to insure that the binding strip is secure.****NOTE**** If drawing with pencil lines is challenging in this 1840's method, try placing a rubber mat under your fabric (some people use sandpaper) to offer resistance or use a fabric chalk pencil.Listed below are time stamps for key moments in the video so you can easily reference the material you need.METHOD #1 -" Wrapping the Back Around to the Front to Create a Binding"6:42 - Introduction9:13 - Trimming the batting11:26 - Marking cutting lines on the backing13:49 - Trimming the back16:00 - Folding the back to the front to create a binding and pin19:06 - Folding the corners and pin20:24 - Stitching down the back to the front to create the binding22:59 - Stitching the corner***NOTE*** You will not be using the binding fabric provided in the kit for this method!METHOD #2 - "Single-Fold Rounded Corner Binding"26:41 - Introduction27:31 - Trimming the backing29:00 - Preparing your binding strips 32:21 - Attaching the two binding pieces together to create one37:04 - Drawing a sewing line on your binding strip38:20 - Pinning the binding to the doll quilt42:37 - Stitching down the binding strip to the doll quilt top including around the rounded corner45:04 - Connecting the attached binding beginning tail to the attached binding end tail with a straight seam49:43 - Pinning the binding down from front to back in preparation for stitching50:00 - Pinning the curved corner down from front to back in preparation for stitching51:00 - Stitching the binding strip onto the backMETHOD #3 "Single-Fold Binding with Mitered Corners"54:00 Introduction27:38 - Trimming the backing (From Method #2)29:00 - Preparing your binding strips (from Method #2)56:00 - Attaching your two binding pieces together with a mitered seam59:00 - Drawing the binding sewing line onto the binding strip1:00 - Pinning the binding to the doll quilt1:01:39 - Pinning and mitering the corner1:04 - Stitching the mitered corner1:05 - Turning and stitching the mitered corner 1:08 - Connecting the attached beginning binding tail to the attached binding end with a mitered angle seam1:12:50 Pinning the binding strip to the back of the quilt including mitering the corners1:16:30 - Stitching down the binding strip to the back of the doll quilt including the mitered cornersPLEASE share your progress at #first_stitchesContact me :Instagram @standleysusanWebsite www.susanstandleystitchintime.comemail smsquilter@comcast.net
