This is very nice. Love the pattern line, I saw the “anchor” print the other day in a local quilt shop.
I especially like the ease in which you place your binding on the quilt. I do a similar process but I sometimes get the diagonal in the wrong direction but this way you show probably eliminates that. Great!

Isn’t the fabric precious?! Such a cute, fresh take on nautical! I’ve definitely had that problem cutting the angle at the wrong direction before and since I learned this method, I haven’t had that issue. Best of luck!

Since I do not have a dual feed on my Bernina 440QE I purchased a walking foot stitch in the ditch sole plate. This works just like a number 10 foot but with the walking foot help. I use this more than just the #10. Well worth the investment, get it when accessories are 25% off to save. Great tutorial! A nice way to find that 45 degree angle is to fold a small square of paper in half diagonally and put the short side of the new triangle shaped paper on the raw edge the fold will be on the 45 degree line. Sew along the edge, when reaching that fold of paper pivot and sew off the corner.

Don’t you just love that stitch in the ditch sole for the walking foot?? Such a great tool! Thanks for sharing your tips for those tricky 45 degree seams 🙂

This is a great tutorial, and I’m going to try my very first machine binding TONIGHT! One question, though — I’m curious as to why you switch to foot #10D to SID the binding in the final step rather than continuing to use Walking Foot #50 with the SID sole plate? My understanding from Mastery classes was that Bernina recommends Dual Feed for situations where you need even feed control for two layers of fabric, but that the Walking Foot was a better choice in any situation where you’re sewing through 3 or more layers. By the time you’re securing the binding in that last step, you’re going through 5-7 layers: Quilt top, batting, backing, a double layer of folded binding at the back of the quilt, plus any seam allowances that land at the very edge of the quilt. I’m guessing that the initial stitching 3/8″ from the edge through all layers works to minimize further shifting in the final step, so you probably wouldn’t see much difference using foot 50 vs 10D anyway. But the Walking Foot with SID sole would certainly be a great choice if someone did not have foot 10D, or if they were sewing binding on a Bernina model that was not equipped with Dual Feed.

When I get to the binding, and want to be able to move on to my next project rather than spending hours and hours hand sewing. I have been working hard to perfect this method for a while now. Being sure to get all of the length of binding sewn down without missing any has been a challenge. I found that if I press the binding open after sewing it on the first round it folds over better. Then I add glue using a washable glue stick along the seam allowance of the quilt back before clipping it and press the final fold of the binding. And, finally, I make sure that the clips are on with the round sides down (on the backside) as I sew on the top side. There are grips on the flat side of the clip, and if those are towards the loose binding side the grips pull the binding askew as they are removed. The round side does not have grips so they slide out easier, without moving the binding strip.

Great tutorial, Haley! Perfectly illustrated! Thanks!

Sorry, I was commenting on the question as to why you would change to 10D foot rather than using the stitch in the ditch for with the walking foot when finishing up the binding. After doing some research the 10D is the stitch in the ditch foot as well as the edge stitch foot, is that not correct. After purchasing a Bernina I don’t want to buy unnecessary feet and accessories.

Thank you, Hayley, for this excellent tutorial. I never thought about using my #10 Edgestitch Foot (I have the Bernina 820). Very professional finish. I do a similar technique for sewing the binding edges together, but I like yours and plan to try it out on my next binding project. Linda from Maine
