Review from Popular Patchwork, January 2014
This is a recently revised edition of a quilting classic. Finishing a quilt is my favourite part of the process, and I think it's worth spending a little extra time on this last step. Mimi Dietrich wrote this bible for quilt bindings 25 years ago and it's still incredibly useful today. This updated version includes a section on making perfect borders in addition to the original text. With step-by-step instructions and lots of great hints, this covers absolutely everything you could ever want to know. Mimi shows you how to finish without binding, by hand or machine, create imitation binding, work with sculpted edges, bind using your backing fabrics or with single- or double-fold binding and so much more. Your quilts deserve lovely edges, and Mimi's hints and tips will help you to achieve just that.
