Lana's Quilt Binding Technique
Good binding techniques are crucial for quilts and table runners as they provide the finishing touch and ensure the longevity and durability of the project. Binding serves to encase the raw edges of the quilt or table runner, preventing fraying and wear over time. A well-executed binding not only enhances the overall appearance but also adds structural integrity to the edges, keeping the layers securely together. It provides a clean, professional finish and helps maintain the quilt or table runner's shape, allowing it to withstand frequent use, washing, and handling. Properly applied binding ensures that your quilts and table runners will be enjoyed and cherished for years to come.
I prefer a 1/2" binding on my quilts, table runners, etc. This video shows how I do my 1/2" binding and then stitching the back down with a blind hem.

What is a Knockdown stitch in embroidery
A knockdown stitch (called a Fluffle Patch at bluebunnyhollow.com) in embroidery is a technique used to create a smooth and even surface on fabrics with a textured or raised background. It involves stitching a layer of thread or stitches over the area to be embroidered, usually in a back-and-forth pattern, to flatten the fabric and create a stable foundation for the subsequent embroidery design. The knockdown stitch ensures that the embroidered design stands out prominently and prevents the textured background from interfering with the clarity and precision of the final embroidery work.
