How to bind a quilt with mitered corners?

You can easily do this by following the steps outlined in my How to Sew a Corner Bindings post. However, there is one important thing you need to do differently—you need to flip the corners of your quilt before you join the two pieces together. To do this, lay out your quilt with the right sides facing up. Then, flip each corner so the seams are now running vertically. Now you can pin your corners together and sew as you normally would.

How to bind a quilt with mitered corners and miters on all sides

Stitching mitered corners on all sides of your quilt is a bit more complicated than doing it on the corners only. If you’ve never bound a quilt before, you might want to try a method that involves sewing the blocks together first before adding the borders. This ensures that the seams line up perfectly and will make your life easier when you try to add the borders.

How to miter a quilt?

To miter a quilt, you will need to cut it into smaller sections. The easiest way to cut a quilt is to use a long, narrow strip of fabric. The strips should be about an inch wide and two to three feet long. Fold the strips in half lengthwise and mark where the ends meet. Next, cut along the lines you drew and then refold the strips into quarters. Tape the ends together to seal them.

How to mitered quilt corners?

To make a mitered quilt corner, you’ll need two strips with the same width, two pieces of fabric with the same width as the strips, and some binding. If you have a two-way mitered corner, make sure to cut each strip in half lengthwise first. If you have a four-way mitered corner, you’ll need four strips.

How to bind a quilt with mitered corners and miters?

One of the most popular ways to bind a quilt is to use mitered corners with a miter at each one. This can be done with squares or rectangles of fabric. If you are using squares, be sure to add extra length to each strip so you have a little room to maneuver when you attach it to the corners. If you are working with rectangle strips, cut them to the same length as the quilt’s finished size.
