New amateur YouTube video up!
Have you wondered how to sew a binding on a quilt, using a longarm? If you don't have a longarm, you may want to ask your longarmer if they can do this for you.
Yes, small quilts can easily be done on a domestic sewing machine, but oh those larger quilts! Yikes! Stuffing them through the machine throat is not fun...and keeping the quilt sandwich nice and flat is stressful!
And...for those professional longarmers watching, I charge .065 per linear inch. A 62" x 80" size quilt would cost $18.46. Add each side 62+62+80+80=284 linear inches. Multiply that number (284) x .065= $18.46
Of course the binding comes all prepared by the quilter when the quilt is dropped off...all you have to do is sew it on.
Here's how easy it is!
Love it if you'd subscribe to my YouTube Channel. Homemade videos at their best. LOL
Thank you!

how would you sew on binding for a large quilt, advancing necessary?
ReplyDeleteHi Shan, Yes you advance the quilt as you go. I have a 26" throat on my longarm, so I can sew quite a bit of binding before advancing. Thanks so much for your comment. I appreciate it! ~karen
