Optional – you can lightly spray your backing down to your quilt to help the borders stay in place while attaching the binding. Alternatively, you can baste stitch the backing to the borders after completing your stitch in the ditch. • Place safety pins approx. 4 inches apart across the whole front of the quilt, going through all layers. This will keep all layers together while you ‘stitch in the ditch’. • To join the backing, stitch in the ditch along the border seams and down the middle. We found that stitching in the ditch for the borders and down the middle only was enough for a quilt our size, but ditch stitching on all internal seams can be done, if desired. • Optional: Edge baste all of the edges around the quilt, sandwiching all layers using a 0.64cm (1/4”) seam with a long stitch. (This just helps keep everything in place when attaching the binding). • Once this is done, trim the excess backing fabric so it matches the exact shape of the quilt.
