Shawl Every Day 2021 - Day 42 - Finishing quilt binding

There are several ways to finish the binding on quilts, but this is how I do it. I use single fold bias tape (more on bias tape in a future post!) and machine sew it to the front side of the quilt, lining up the raw edges. I then fold the folded edge over to the back and use a ladder stitch to finish it by hand. This makes an invisible seam on the back so everything looks nice and neat.
