How to Bind A Quilt
Here are the instructions for binding a quilt. If the quilt is bulky with double batting or minky backing, I recommend serging the entire edge of the quilt before adding binding. It smooths out the edges, flattens the bulk and makes it much easier to wrap the binding around. Piece all the strips together by laying them RST and aligning ends on the perpendicular. Mark from top inside corner to top outside corner. Here you can see how I leave the selvage edge out of the seams.
