Oh my, this works perfectly! So simple, after spending months on a surprise tshirt quilt for my daughter’s graduation from HS, i was happy to learn such a perfect finishing stitch! Your tutorial was easy to follow and your mom is a genius! Thanks so much for sharing.

Currently using this stitch to finish my first quilt. Have always used it to close up pillows, etc. Would have never thought to use it on a quilt. Thank you so much!

Thanks for this tutorial. I am getting ready to hand bind a quilt (which I haven’t done in 15 years) and I now feel more confident. After I get going, if I have a question, I’ll have to send it to you. Thanks for your help in this.

Found this via Google- you know when you’ve turned a sewing project inside out and all that remains to be done is to hand-sew the gap closed? I was searching for an invisible stitch to give my project a professional look. Awesome tutorial, and I can’t even tell where the gap was.

Finishing a First Communion Banner for G’daughter’s class…….my first quilt project, I did not look forward to the hand stitching of the binding, my hand sewing never looks professional enough…..but with this technique and your excellent tutorial, I feel and my binding looks like a real pro did it…..thanks…….amazing what you can learn with just a few clicks of a mouse….thanks again.

This is wonderful. I was in the middle of hand binding a baby quilt. I wasn’t unhappy about the way it looked but thought I’d see what I could find. This way of binding is nearly invisible. I won’t ever do it any other way…thank so much for sharing this technique

Thank you! Thank you! I was almost done with Sew Liberated’s “Emmeline” apron (which is a very cool pattern by the way), and the she starts talking about using a ladder stitch to finish the binding on the top half. Her diagram and explanation made no sense to me though and my stitches looked horrible, so googled, found your site, took some stitches out and started that part over, and now it’s perfect – can’t even see the stitches. Will definitely try it on my next quilt project too!
