Baby Quilt Kit Tutorial - Binding the Quilt

This Baby Quilt Kit Tutorial includes a series of five blog posts.

1. Intro & Getting Started
2. Cutting the Fabric Pieces
3. Machine Piecing the Quilt Top
4. Layering, Basting & Quilting
5. Binding the Quilt - You're Here!

Cuddly Quilt Kits are a popular line of baby quilt kits available in the Baby Quilt Kits section.

The purpose of this Baby Quilt Kit Tutorial is to help beginners work through the process of making one of these cuddly quilts for baby.

After layering, basting & quilting, you're ready to bind your quilt!

I recommend using a durable double fold bias tape for binding your baby quilt.  You'll need about 4 yards of binding plus some extra to use as practice material.

This tutorial will show you how to apply binding to your baby quilt.

Using Pre-Made Binding

I used a pre-made binding from Wrights.  The following procedures show how I applied Wrights 1/2" Wide (called Extra Wide) Double Fold Bias Tape to my baby quilt.

Wrights also makes a 7/8" Wide Double Fold Bias Tape (called Quilt Binding) that works the same way.  You might consider this if you're using a thick quilt batting or just prefer the look of a wider binding.

I recommend practicing your binding technique using scrap materials to be sure you're happy with the appearance before starting on your baby quilt.

The first thing to notice about the folded bias tape is that one side is slightly wider than the other.

It's important that the wider side of the tape ends up on the back side of the quilt.  This helps to ensure that the sewing line is completely covered when the tape is wrapped around to the back and hand stitched in place.

1) Unfold the bias tape and place the narrow side right side down on the quilt top, aligning the opened up right edge of the tape to the edge of the quilt.  Start sewing about 4" from the start of the tape, leaving a tail of tape that is not sewn down.

2) Use your sewing machine to stitch inside the first fold line from the right edge.  Make sure to keep the right edge of the tape aligned & even with the edge of the quilt.

3) To achieve a nice mitered corner, you need to stop sewing 3/8" before you reach the corner.  Note:  this distance applies to the Wrights 1/2" wide double fold bias tape shown in this tutorial.  If you're using a different binding tape, you'll need to adjust this distance to equal the seam width you're using.

4) I use a pin to mark where I need to stop and then back tack to secure the stitches.

5) Turn your quilt counter clock wise 90-degrees.  Then, fold the bias tape up at a 45-degree angle to the corner as shown.

6) Fold the bias tape over on itself so that the fold is aligned with the top edge of the quilt.  Align the right side of the tape with the edge of the quilt.

7) Back tack and sew starting at the top edge, continuing to stitch in the first fold line from the right.  Repeat the above steps as you work your way around the remaining 3 corners of the quilt.

8) After joining the ends together, wrap the binding around the edge and secure with binding clips to the back of the quilt.

9) Fold the tape at the corners to create a nice mitered appearance on the back and secure with binding clips.

Turn your quilt over to ensure you have a nice mitered corner on the top side too.

10) Hand stitch the binding to the back using a slip stitch.  I use a short needle with a small round eye and sharp point.  I cut an 18" single strand of thread and run it through a thread conditioner.

I like to make my binding slip stitches about 3/8" apart.  When stitching around the corners, be sure to secure the mitered corner with a few stitches before continuing on to the next side.

If you've never done a slip stitch before, I found this video on the Monkey See website that will show you How to Sew a Slip Stitch.

After hand stitching the binding to the back, your baby quilt is complete & ready for baby to enjoy!

Making Your Own Binding

If you'd like to learn how to make your own continuous bias tape binding from a coordinating fabric, the How to Bind a Quilt video on the Connecting Threads website is an excellent quilt binding tutorial.

This video will take you step-by-step through making and applying a double fold binding.  I've watched through the video and recommend it as a very helpful DIY quilt binding resource for beginners.

I hope this Baby Quilt Kit tutorial has been helpful and inspires you to make your first baby quilt!

Baby Quilt Kit Tutorial - Layering, Basting & Quilting

This Baby Quilt Kit Tutorial includes a series of five blog posts.

1. Intro & Getting Started
2. Cutting the Fabric Pieces
3. Machine Piecing the Quilt Top
4. Layering, Basting & Quilting -  You're Here!
5. Binding the Quilt

Cuddly Quilt Kits are a popular line of baby quilt kits available in the Baby Quilt Kits section.

The purpose of this Baby Quilt Kit Tutorial is to help beginners work through the process of making one of these cuddly quilts for baby.

The quilt making techniques shown in this series can be applied to any of the Cuddly Quilt Kit designs.

After machine piecing the quilt top, you're ready for Layering, Basting & Quilting.  The Cuddly Quilt Kit instructions provide a simple turn-inside-out method without batting for finishing the quilt.  While this will certainly work, many quilters like the appearance and added loft that batting provides.  This tutorial will show how to add a batting layer and discuss two alternate methods for quilting.

Layering

Your baby quilt will be comprised of three layers - the backing fabric, a batting layer, and the pieced quilt top.

The bottom layer will be your backing fabric.  Place the backing fabric, right side down, on your work surface, smoothing out any wrinkles.  Use masking tape to secure the backing to the surface.

The middle layer will be batting.  I'm using Warm & White cotton batting in craft size.  This is an excellent quilt batting for beginner quilters. It's easy to work and can be quilted or tied up to 10" apart.

Place batting on top of backing and trim to the same size as the backing.  Here's a photo of my backing and trimmed batting.

Next, place your pieced quilt top, right side up, on the batting.

Basting

Once you have the three layers stacked, it's time to baste them together.  Basting is a way of temporarily holding the layers together to keep them from shifting while quilting.  I like to use basting pins, equivalent to size 1 safety pins, for this step.

Start basting in the center of the quilt and work your way out to the sides and corners, smoothing out wrinkles as you go.  Place basting pins about 6 inches apart.  Be sure to pin through all three layers.

For smaller quilt projects, closing the pins goes quickly and doesn't require any special tools.  If you plan to do more quilting, especially larger quilts, I recommend using this handy pin-closing tool.

It's called a Kwik Klip.  Place the opened pin in one of the grooves and use your other hand to close.

It makes pin basting go faster, is easier on your hands, and keeps fingers away from the sharp point.

It can also be used in reverse to easily remove the basting pins.



After closing all your pins, you're ready to start quilting!



Quilting

Quilting permanently secures the three layers of the quilt together. I'm going to show 2 methods you can use for your baby quilt kit project - hand tying and/or machine quilting.

The distance between hand ties or machine quilting depends on the batting you're using in your quilt.  You'll need to check the label on your batting so that you know how far apart you can place your quilting.  The batting I used can be hand tied or quilted up to 10 inches apart.

Once you know this distance, you can plan out where you'll put your quilt ties and/or machine quilting lines.  For example, you could add ties to your center blocks and then, depending on your quilt design, do some machine quilting along the outside borders.  Or, you might decide to use only hand ties or only machine quilting, depending on your personal preference.

Hand Tying

Hand tying is a quick & easy method of quilting.  You'll need embroidery floss, a curved quilting needle, and scissors.  As with basting, it's best to start quilting in the center of the quilt and work your way to the outside, removing basting pins as your go.

Thread the curved needle with the embroidery floss (all six strands) and push the needle down through all three layers of the quilt.  I recommend checking the back side of the quilt to verify that the needle went through all the layers.

Bring the needle back up within a 1/4 inch from where the needle first went down.  Going beyond this point could cause puckering to occur in the fabric.

Pull the thread through and cut the floss, leaving about 4 inches of thread length on both sides for tying.

Tie a surgeon's square knot as follows:

1. Place the right thread over the left, wrap twice, and pull tight.
2. Place the left thread over the right, wrap twice, and pull tight.
3. Trim threads to desired length.

Machine Quilting

For machine quilting, you'll need a special presser foot, called an even-feed or walking foot, for your sewing machine.  This foot will ensure that all three layers of the quilt move evenly through the machine without shifting.

I recommend using a quality 100% cotton thread in a light, neutral color for machine quilting.  I'm using the YLI machine quilting thread in white.  You could use an invisible quilting thread for the top if you prefer (also referred to as monofilament thread).

Set your machine to make 8-10 stitches per inch.  Sew along a piece of scrap fabric, measure the number of stitches per inch, and adjust your machine's stitch length if necessary.

A simple "in-the-ditch" quilting technique is a great choice for beginners.  This is where you make long, straight stitches along the seams of the quilt top.  Use your hands to spread the fabric as you quilt along one side of the seam.  Keep the stitch line very close to, but not inside, the seam.

Once all of the quilting is complete, use your rotary cutting tools to even up the edges of your quilt, trimming away excess material.

Here's a photo of my quilt with hand ties and machine quilting.

After trimming the edges of your quilt, you'll be ready to move on to the next post in the Baby Quilt Kit Tutorial - Binding the Quilt!

Baby Quilt Kit Tutorial - Machine Piecing

Cuddly Quilt Kits are a popular line of baby quilt kits available in the Weekend Kits store.

The purpose of this Baby Quilt Kit Tutorial is to help beginners work through the process of making one of these cuddly quilts for baby.

I'm making the Simply Chic design for this tutorial.  Visit the Baby Quilt Kits section of the store to see our complete selection!

Once you have all of your blocks cut, you're ready for Machine Piecing the Quilt Top.  This post helps beginners apply basic quilting techniques & best practices to piecing the quilt top together. This tutorial is intended to be a supplement to the instructions provided with your kit.  Be sure to read through all of the instructions before starting your baby quilt.

Setting Up the Machine:

Key items to consider when setting up your machine for piecing include the needle size, thread, stitch length, presser foot, and throat plate.  All of these areas should be checked prior to sewing.

Needle Size

I always like starting any new quilt project with a new sewing machine needle.  For machine piecing, I typically use a size 80/12 sharp needle, which I find is a good size needle for piecing medium weight fabrics.  I prefer using a sharp point needle for piecing, but a universal point needle would also work for this project.

Thread

I recommend using a quality 100% cotton thread in a light, neutral color for machine piecing.  The bobbin should be wound with the same thread.  I'm using the YLI machine quilting thread in white.

Stitch Length

When you have your machine set up with needle and thread, it's time to ensure the proper stitch length.  For piecing, you want to set your machine to make 12-15 stitches per inch.  Sew along a piece of scrap fabric, measure the number of stitches per inch, and adjust your machine's stitch length if necessary.

Seam Accuracy

Sewing accurate and consistent 1/4" seams is an important part of machine piecing.  To do this, you need to have some type of visual indicator as part of the set up of your sewing machine.

Presser Foot

Many machines come with a special presser foot that is designed to sew 1/4" seams when the right edge of the foot is lined up with the edge of the fabric.  If you have this type of presser foot, use it for machine piecing.  If your machine doesn't have a 1/4" presser foot, it's OK, you can alternatively use markings on the throat plate of your sewing machine.

Throat Plate

Some throat plates have a built in marking for 1/4" seams.  If your machine does not have a 1/4" mark, then you'll need to place a strip of masking tape on the throat plate to use as a guide for sewing 1/4" seams.  Use a piece of scrap fabric to test, measure, and adjust the tape as necessary until the seam is accurate.

Sewing the Blocks:

The Cuddly Quilt Kit instructions provide excellent layout diagrams for assembling the blocks and rows.  Arrange the blocks according to the layout diagram provided in your instructions.

Usually, when I'm piecing an all cotton quilt top together, I don't use pins when sewing smaller blocks together.  But, because of the different fabric types used for the Cuddly Quilt Kits, I recommend using pins, especially when sewing the plush and satin type fabrics, which tend to shift while sewing.

Be sure to read the tips provided in your instructions for working with plush fabrics.  It can really be a challenge to sew dissimilar fabrics together accurately, even for experienced quilters.  Follow the tips as suggested, but don't worry too much about getting everything to line up perfectly.  Baby will love it anyway :)

Remember to pin & stitch your blocks with right sides together.

You'll need to pull the pins out as you sew along.  I always stop my machine in the needle-down position, pull the pin out, and then continue sewing.

Ironing the Seams:

You'll need an iron, ironing board, and press cloth for pressing your seams after sewing.  Usually, when I'm working with all cotton fabrics, I don't use a press cloth.  But, with the plush & satin fabrics in the Cuddly Quilt Kits, it's really important to use a press cloth to protect the fabrics and iron from damage.  Simply place the press cloth between the iron and fabric when ironing.

Always press seam allowances to one side, according to the arrows shown on the layout diagram.  Seam allowances are pressed in opposite directions from row to row so that they nest together nicely where the seams meet, minimizing bulkiness.

Sewing the Rows:

Arrange completed rows on a table according to the layout diagram provided in your instructions.

Pin rows right sides together, matching seams.  I like to place pins at the seams first, making sure they're aligned.  Then, I go back and place additional pins between seams.

After you sew all of the rows together, press seam allowances to one side, according to the arrows on the layout diagram.  Here's my completed quilt top - ready for quilting!

Cuddly Quilt Kits are a popular line of baby quilt kits available in the Weekend Kits store.

I created this Baby Quilt Kit Tutorial to help beginners work through the process of making one of these cuddly quilts for baby.

I'm making the Simply Chic design for this tutorial.  Visit the Baby Quilt Kits section of the store to see our complete selection!

The Cutting the Fabric Pieces post uses photos and written explanation to help beginners apply basic rotary cutting techniques to cutting the fabric pieces for their quilt. This tutorial is intended to be a supplement to the instructions provided with your kit. Be sure to read through all of the instructions before starting your baby quilt.

Outline:

Use the following outline to jump to a specific section of this post.

• Rotary Cutting Tools
• Fabric & Instructions
• Laying Out the Fabric
• Squaring Up Leading Edge
• Square Up - Option 1
• Square Up - Option 2
• Cutting Strips
• Cutting Strips Greater than 6" - Option 1
• Cutting Strips Greater than 6" - Option 2
• Cutting Blocks

This tutorial assumes that you know how to safely use a rotary cutter.  Always keep your rotary cutter in safe mode until you're ready to make a cut and always return it to safe mode whenever you put your cutter back down.  When cutting, always be sure that your cutting path is completely clear prior to starting your cut.

Rotary Cutting Tools:

This is the basic set of rotary cutting tools you'll need for your baby quilt kit project.  A 45 mm rotary cutter is a good standard size cutter to have and works well for this application.  The blade is very sharp and I recommend making a habit of always closing the blade whenever you put the cutter down.

You'll need a self healing cutting mat made specifically for use with rotary cutters.  A cutting mat size of 18" x 24" or larger will work well for this quilt project.

If you can have only one ruler, the standard 6" x 24" quilting ruler is the one you want.  As you do more quilting, you'll find that it's really nice to have an assortment of quilting rulers so that you can choose the best ruler for the job.

Fabrics & Instructions:

You'll find the instructions wrapped up inside the fabrics.  Be sure to read all of the instructions before starting your baby quilt.  A couple important reminders are to NOT prewash the fabrics and to be very careful when ironing the fabrics.  The plush and satin fabrics are especially sensitive to heat.  It's recommended to use a pressing cloth to protect the fabrics and iron from being damaged.

The first step in the instructions provides a detailed chart of Fabrics and Cutting Sizes.  This chart will tell you the quantities & sizes of the pieces you need to cut from each of the fabrics.  This is the point in the project I always like to remind myself of the familiar woodworking saying "measure twice, cut once".  Like wood, fabric can't be un-cut, so it's really important to take your time here.  That being said, if you do make a mistake in cutting, take heart, there's usually a creative solution you can find to patch things up!

The following sections show basic rotary cutting techniques for laying out the fabric pieces, squaring up the leading edge, and cutting your strips & blocks.  It's important to look at the overall dimensions of each fabric piece and have a layout plan that ensures adequate yardage prior to cutting the fabric.

For some fabric pieces, your Cuddly Quilt Kit instructions may show an alternate layout to make best use of the fabric.  Always follow the layout shown in the instructions to ensure adequate yardage.

Laying out the Fabric:

Fabric strips are generally cut from selvage to selvage across the crosswise grain of the fabric.  Fold fabric pieces in the middle so that the selvages meet together and are aligned at the top of the cutting mat.  Shift the selvages left and right until the fabric lies flat without wrinkles.  It's OK for now if the cut edge on the left or right is uneven, you'll take care of this in the next step. Lay out the fabric pieces so that the fold is towards you.

For rotary cutting, right handers will start cutting at the left edge of the fabric and move to the right.  If you're left handed, you'll move from right to left.  The photos are labeled for right handers.  Left handers will need to reverse directions, changing out left for right and vice versa.

Squaring Up Leading Edge:

The first cut you'll make is to square up the leading edge.  This ensures the edges are even and that they're at a 90 degree angle to the fold.  Only cut the very minimum amount of fabric necessary to get a clean cut.  If you find that the leading edge is already squared up, then you can skip this step altogether.

There are a couple ways to square up your fabric and I'm going to show you both.  The first one requires one additional quilting ruler, while the second approach can be done using just your 6" x 24" quilting ruler.

Square Up - Option 1

You'll need one additional square quilting ruler for this option.

Step 1) Align the bottom edge of a square quilting ruler with the folded edge of the fabric.

Step 2) Place your 6" x 24" quilting ruler to the left of the square ruler, making sure it's right up against the edge and that the square ruler is still aligned with the fold.

Step 3) Carefully remove the square ruler.

Step 4) Use your rotary cutter to square up the leading edge.

Step 5) Remove excess fabric & you're ready to start cutting strips.

Square Up - Option 2

You only need your 6" x 24" quilting ruler for this option.

Step 1) Flip the fabric piece over so that the leading edge is now on the right.  Place your 6" x 24" ruler on the fabric, aligning the markings on the ruler with the folded edge.

Step 2) Use your rotary cutter to square up leading edge.  Cut the minimum amount of fabric needed to get a clean cut.

Step 3) Remove excess fabric & flip your fabric back over so that the squared up leading edge is on the left again.

Cutting Strips:

Once the leading edge is squared up, you're ready to cut strips.

Always follow the Fabric & Cutting Sizes chart in your instructions to determine the appropriate strip widths & lengths you need to cut for your particular Cuddly Quilt Kit design.

Be sure to follow the alternate layout provided in your Cuddly Quilt Kit instructions when cutting your backing fabric.

If you need a strip that is less than or equal to 6" wide, simply align your 6" x 24" quilting ruler to the desired width from the edge.  The ruler should line up evenly with both the edge and fold.  In this example, I'm setting up to cut a 3" strip.

There are a couple ways to cut strips that are greater than 6" wide and I'm going to discuss both.  The first one requires one additional quilting ruler, while the second approach can be done using just your 6" x 24" quilting ruler and a water soluble pen.

Cutting Strips Greater than 6" - Option 1

You'll need your 6" x 24" ruler and one additional quilting ruler for this option.  Place the extra ruler on the left edge of the fabric, adjusting placement to achieve the extra width you need beyond 6 inches.  Be sure that both rulers are aligned evenly to the edges of the fabric. In this example, I needed a 6-1/2" strip, so I'm using my second ruler to add an extra 1/2" to my 6" wide ruler.  Use your rotary cutter to cut along the right edge of the ruler.

Cutting Strips Greater than 6" - Option 2

Step 1) You'll need your 6" x 24" ruler and a water soluble marking pen, such as Mark B Gone, for this option.  Align the ruler to the left edge and mark the fabric to the desired width in at least two places.

Step 2) Align your 6" x 24" ruler to the fold and both markings.  Use your rotary cutter to cut along the right edge of ruler.

Cutting Blocks:

Once you have your strips cut, you're ready to cut individual blocks. Cutting blocks uses all the same rotary cutting techniques discussed above.  First, unfold strip and lay out horizontally on cutting mat. Then, square up leading edge if needed and cut your blocks to the desired lengths.

I want to show you how useful a square quilting ruler is for cutting blocks.  The size of the square ruler you'll need depends on the size of the blocks you need to cut for your quilt.  In the following photo, I'm using a 12-1/2" square ruler to cut a 6-1/2" square block.

Continue to work through each of your fabric pieces until you have all your blocks completed. Here are my blocks - ready for piecing!

Once you have all your blocks cut, you'll be ready to move on to the next post in the Baby Quilt Kit Tutorial - Machine Piecing the Quilt Top!
