BINDING
Sew rights sides together.
• Cut enough strips 1½" wide by the width of the
fabric A to make a final strip 354" long. Start sewing
the binding strip in the middle of one of the sides
of the quilt, placing the strip right side down and
leaving an approximated 5" tail. Sew with ¼" seam
allowance (using straight stitch), aligning the strip’s
raw edge with the quilt top’s raw edge.
• Stop stitching ¼" before the edge of the quilt
(DIAGRAM B 1). Clip the threads. Remove the quilt
from under the machine presser foot. Fold the strip
in a motion of 45° and upward, pressing with your
fingers (DIAGRAM B2). Hold this fold with your fin-
ger, bring the strip down in line with the next edge,
making a horizontal fold that aligns with the top
edge of the quilt (DIAGRAM B3). Start sewing at ¼"
of the border, stitching all the layers. Do the same
in the four corners of the quilt.
• Stop stitching before you reach the last 5 or 6
inches. Cut the threads and remove the quilt from
under the machine presser foot. Lay the loose ends
of the binding flat along the quilt edge, folding
the ends back on themselves where they meet.
Press them together to form a crease. Using this
crease as the stitching line, sew the two open ends
of the binding with right sides together (you can
help yourself marking with a pencil if the crease is
difficult to see).
• Trim seam to ¼" and press open. Complete the
sewing. Turn binding to back of the quilt, turn raw
edge inside and stitch by hand using blind stitch.

QUILT ASSEMBLY
Sew rights sides together.
• Place BACKING FABRIC on a large surface wrong side
up. Stretch it with masking tape against that surface.
• Place BATTING on top of backing fabric.
• Place TOP on top of the batting with right side facing
up. Smooth away wrinkles using your hands.
• Pin all layers together and baste with basting thread,
using long stitches. You can also use safety pins to join
the layers.
• Machine or hand quilt starting at the center and
working towards the corners. Remember that quilting
motifs are a matter of personal preference. Have fun
choosing yours!
• After you finished, trim excess of any fabric or batting,
squaring the quilt to proceed to bind it.
