A faux flange binding gives your quilt that gorgeous little pop of a second colour right along the edge, like a fine piped line framing all your hard work. It looks like a fiddly extra step, but it comes together with the very same machine binding you already know. In this tutorial from our Fabric Hut channel, we walk you through the whole thing, so you can add that pretty two colour edge to your next finish.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- That extra pop of colour. The flange sits as a slim accent line just inside the binding, giving a polished, custom look that lifts the whole quilt.
- Two fabrics, one neat method. You choose one fabric for the flange and one for the binding, and the folding does the clever work, so the second colour appears as if by magic.
- All by machine. The binding is finished entirely on the machine, so it is sturdy and lovely for quilts that will be used and washed often.
