Magic binding.

For years I have known how to make Magic binding, just never sewn it on right. What a gamechanger it was to discover how to sew it on correctly. Vintage moments, aka the spring quilt has rounded corners.

The fabric for the binding was not enough, it got misplaced and a part was used for another project. I found some similar green fabric at retreat a few years back. Decided to measure the binding made from the binding fabric that came with the kit. It was one and a half inches wide, this was when the penny dropped. Magic binding was the solution.

Using a walking foot and needle down made it easier to sew the binding down. It is sewn on the back and folded to the front of the quilt.

Leaving a ten inch tail, it was sewn on the back. Sewing around the corners was an unknown.

When the fabric is sewn on the back, one iron it away from the quilt top.

It is amazing how easy it made the round corners, the iron could be run on the inside curve with ease.

The binding is folded to the front of the quilt and sewn in the ditch where the little flange is.

This was the first time sewing the binding down by machine. Here is the link for the The link seems to not be working: Aunt Marti's 52 Quilts: Susie's Magic Binding Tutorial on You-Tube is the video to watch.
