Step 3. Remove the quilt from the machine and turn it 90 degrees. Fold binding strip over itself to form a 45 degree fold. If the fold is done correctly, the edge of the unattached binding will align with the quilt's raw edge. Begin stitching again at the corner and backstitch. Continue around the quilt in the same manner until binding ends meet.
