Reader Question: Binding On Curves

119542553712mitered binding on curves

I’m not much of a quilter, so I had to look elsewhere to find the answer to this difficult question. But fortunately, a quick search on Google accessed a few relevant resources. How did crafters ever survive without the internet??

Question: I’ve sewn and quilted for many years, but I have a problem. Is there a technique for mitering binding neatly on an inside curve such as in the “cleft” of a heart shape?

Answer: The best answer I could find to your question came from a single line in an article called Bias Binding . The article was written in reference to making wedding dresses, but I think the information still applies to quilts.

According to the article….

To help retain the garment shape, use an interfacing and facing on the backside of the garment before attaching the binding. Stitch it ¼ inch inside the edge of the bias tape.

Fold the binding in half, finger press it, and pin in place. For an inside curve, ease the binding around curves, use small folds on the inside edge.

I think those small folds are the solution to your problem.
