Looking for a beginner-friendly way to finish your quilt without fussing with mitered corners or cutting bias strips?
In my latest video tutorial, I walk you through how to bind a quilt with gently rounded corners using regular quilting cotton and cross-grain binding strips. That’s right – no bias cuts required!
Rounded corners are a great alternative to traditional mitered corners, especially if you’re newer to quilting or just want a smoother, softer look. And the best part? This method is completely machine-sewn, from start to finish.
You’ll learn how to:
– Round your quilt corners using a plate – no special ruler needed
– Select binding fabric that complements your quilt
– Cut and join binding strips on the cross-grain
– Attach binding to the quilt back
– Wrap it to the front and stitch it down with a clean finish
I also share tips for managing long binding strips, improving comfort while sewing, and why this method works great for standard quilting cottons (but maybe not batiks).
