Easiest ever bias binding
I bound a wavy-edged quilt last week and so it needed a bias binding. I used a tool/ruler that makes it so easy!
It’s called The Bias Tool and it’s available from The Quilter’s Mercantile. Their photo shows how it fits perfectly on a half-yard cut. My fabric was a larger piece but it still worked well.
The ruler guides you to cut perfect bias strips, and guides you to nip off the corners of the bias strips so they fit magically together, end to end.
I usually do my bindings by machine, with a method that looks a lot like hand sewing. I decided to try a different final stitch this time, in contrasting thread. I’m liking the result!
Here again is my finished baby quilt, ready for the next little girl in my life.

I’m always amazed at how clever these products are……and think…why did n’t I think of that !
Happy Sewing
Would you do a post on how you do your machine sewn bindings so that they look hand sewn please?
I really enjoy using my sewing machine for all my quilting. Love your creativity. Gives me great ideas and encouragement. Thank you for sharing.
I love the colors in your baby quilt. Did you follow a pattern or create this on your own? I love it!
