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.Show more
