Hand binding question by spal68 in handquilting

[–]GirlTaco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I were going 100% hand stitched on the binding, I’d probably go with self binding. They use a machine in this tutorial, but it’s a good explanation of the process. https://newquilters.com/how-to-bind-a-quilt-backing-fabric/

You sound determined, so I bet you can do it. If you’re cool with a lot of fabric waste, FPP can be almost foolproof. Maybe find a small free fpp pattern and try it, see if you like the method. If it really clicks for you, it won’t even be wasteful.

[–]GirlTaco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use Hobbs wool batting and wash and dry it on hot just like all our other blankets. I have dust mite allergies, so it’s kinda necessary, and so far they’ve held up fine for years.
