Quilting expert Alex Anderson shows quilt maker Angela Wiggins how to start a new thread when sewing down her binding.

  • Use a single thread no more than 18 inches long.
  • Tie a quilters knot at end of thread.
  • Catch thread through back, batting and binding and "snap" knot through to lock.
  • To finish make a quilter’s French knot secured under folded edge of binding.
