
Remove the pin
and stitch again
beginning at the
fold.

Repeat the steps above until all four corners
have been stitched.

Stop stitching when you reach the first mark you
made on the first side. Trim the excess length of
binding, leaving a 10” tail.

Use “The Binding Tool” from TQM Products to
create the perfect ending seam. Just follow the
instructions for cutting and sewing and your end-
ing seam will be perfect every time.

Trim batting and backing even with edge of
binding. Take care that you do not cut the folded
edge at each of the corners.

Wrap the binding around to the back of the quilt
and hand stitch (or stitch-in-the-ditch) it in
place.

Mark a dot approximately 12” down from the right
edge of the quilt.

Mark a dot 12” from the first dot. Leave a 10” tail
of binding, begin stitching the binding to the side
edge of the quilt top at this dot. NOTE: The bat-
ting and backing fabric will extend past the edge
at this point.

As you near the bot-
tom edge, use a fab-
ric marker and ruler
to precisely mark a
line ¼” up from and
parallel to the bottom
cut edge of the quilt
top (not the batting).

Continue stitching until the needle reaches that
mark, then raise the needle and the presser foot
and clip the threads.

Maneuver the quilt
top so you can fold
the binding at a 45°
angle. The cut edge
line up with the
bottom edge.

Place a pin through
all layers at the cut
edge of the first
side, then fold the
bias strip down on
itself. The fold should
be even with the cut
edge of the first side.
Planning the Circles
The instructions on the following pages are the blocks (and adaptations) for the quilt pictured. Using
BERNINA Embroidery Software v6 will make placing the designs easy. Although specific directions are
given for placement and sizing of the blocks shown on the quilt, feel free to experiment with your own
placement. The only guideline is that they must fit within a circle of approximately 8” in diameter. If you
do not have embroidery software, print the individual templates from the PDF provided on the embroi-
dery collection CD or USB stick and arrange them as shown on the quilt. Mark the center point of each
design, and hoop and stitch each design separately.
