I almost always use scrappy bindings in my quilts and I get a lot of questions about how I get those diagonal seams.
I show the diagonal seam in my video How to Bind a Quilt – but I never actually showed how to do it.
Until now.
See how easy that is?
I use this method any time I’m joining strips together. For me that’s usually binding a quilt, but it can also be for bias strips on bags, clothing, and any other application.
Happy stitching!

This is exactly how I do it,, but I press my strips in half before I sew together. That helps with those fabrics that are hard to tell right side from wrong side. Thanks for sharing.
That’s a great idea!
Thanks for sharing — this is a great method for joining, and really does reduce bulk. I used your instructions to make a drawstring for a bag.
