Modern Bear Paw Quilt: How To Finish Binding With Mitered Edge

Sunday, July 19, 2015

More proof that I cannot sew a straight line to save my life...
Using up scraps from the quilt back and top, I made some double-fold bias binding, just like in my tutorial.



I used CluckCluckSew's machine binding tutorial as with the triangle quilt, but unlike that tutorial, I finished the ends with a mitered edge.

Finishing Binding Attachment with a Mitered Edge

1. Leave binding tails around 10 inches
   
2. Trim overlap to be width of binding
   
3. Overlap ends without twists, as shown. Sew seam horizontally across
   
4. Trim seam allowance to 1/4 inch
   
5. Iron binding and sew to quilt
   
6. Hand sew any machine-sewing mishaps.
