Quarter Inch, Single Fold Binding aka Flat Binding [Tute]


What Is Single Fold Binding + How Is It Different To Double Fold?
As the name implies, single-fold binding has only one fabric layer, while double-fold binding is folded in half before the binding process, thus creating a double layer thickness. Single fold binding is also known as flat binding, while double fold is also known as French binding.

Joining Binding Strips & Matching Patterns [Tutorial]


Binding a quilt recently I was using a super cute penguin fabric and I wanted the penguins lined up perfectly around the bound edge, I didn't want them disappearing off at wonky angles.  That's easy enough to achieve, simply cut the binding strips along the print design rather than with the grain...  

...then I realised I'd also want the penguins to continue in sequence, even across my binding strip joins - I didn't want a sudden large penguin gap or a non-existent gap with two penguins accidentally holding flippers.
