One last finish before I head to Linus this morning.  #crochet #babyblanket #blanketcharity #thelinusconnectionThis is the photo I mentioned and then forgot to add to the video. I was not 100% happy with the way this came out, but it is done, it is bright and I hope some small kiddo in need will love it!

TTMT #251 – Machine Binding Tutorial

What I intended to be a short tutorial ended up being just under 17 minutes. I am very sorry about that, but I hope you’ll find something useful here and thus forgive the length.

As in all things handmade, this is the way I do it. I am in no way saying you have to do it my way. This tutorial was created specifically for a few of my TTMT friends that wanted to see how I personally bind a quilt when I want to do it entirely by machine.

The quilt shown is from my 2014 UFO list and is now done and ready to donate!

Here’s an update:

  1. HP Swap Quilt
  2. Vintage Quilt Top
  3. Churn Dash Quilt
  4. 10 Minute Block Quilt
  5. PoD Signature Quilt – almost done!
