Have you ever tried to sew an angled binding and ended up with a wonky mess? If so, you’re not alone! Angled binding can be tricky to get right, but it’s definitely possible with a little patience and practice. In this article, I’ll share my tips and tricks for sewing perfect angled binding every time.
The first step is to make sure that your fabric is cut accurately. The angle of the cut will determine the angle of the binding, so it’s important to be precise. Once you have your fabric cut, you’ll need to fold it in half and press the crease. This will help to stabilize the fabric and make it easier to sew.
Now you’re ready to start sewing! Start by stitching along the folded edge of the fabric, using a small stitch length. Be sure to keep your stitches even and consistent. Once you’ve sewn all the way around, trim any excess fabric and turn the binding right side out. Press the binding flat and you’re all finished!
How to Sew Perfect Angled Binding
Angled binding is a great way to add a professional-looking finish to your quilts, blankets, or other projects. It’s not as difficult as it looks, and with a little practice, you’ll be able to sew perfect angled binding every time. Here’s how:
- Cut your binding strips on the bias. This will help the binding to stretch and conform to the curves of your project.
- Join the binding strips together using a mitered seam. This will create a seamless corner that will lay flat.
- Pin the binding to the edge of your project, right sides together. Be sure to miter the corners of the binding so that they match the corners of your project.
- Sew the binding to the project using a blind stitch. This will create a hidden seam that will be invisible from the right side of your project.
- Trim the excess binding from the corners of your project. Be careful not to cut too close to the stitching.
- Fold the binding over the edge of your project and press it down. This will help to secure the binding and give it a professional-looking finish.
