- We’ve wrapped up Season 9 of Sew Together Tuesday with a must-watch episode for quilters! 😍
Our National Educator @TeresaCoates went LIVE from the Bits ‘N Pieces Quilt Shop floor, where she combined two things near and dear to quilters - Cuddle® and cotton - for this tutorial on how to self-bind a cotton quilt with Cuddle®. 📹
The best part? There’s no hand sewing required, will work on any quilt size and makes your quilt super soft and immediately enjoyable (no break-in period)! 🤗
And while our standard 58”/60”-wide fabrics will work just fine for most quilts, we also offer extra-wide fabrics in Cuddle® 3 that are 88”/90” wide and Luxe Cuddle® Mirage that are 78”/80” wide for bigger projects.

Oh shoot! Missed the live today. Glad to catch the replay 😊
I LOVE this tutorial! I’ve just discovered cuddle for quilt backings and needed to know how to bind. Thank you 😊
Very well demonstrated, Teresa! Thank you!
Thank you so much Teresa, I really really enjoyed watching creating this lovely cuddle blanket. And it was nice seeing the different stitches you showed us all. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Watching again, making granddaughters lil throws….love the serpentine stitch and my pfaff also has mirror image stitch, we have these beautiful stitches we may as well use them! Great ideas Teresa, thank you!
This is great information. Thank you for showing all the finishes!
Teresa, can't thank you enough for this tutorial. I followed it step by step and you got me through my first self binding cotton quilt backed with Cuddle. Very thorough and clear instructions and video. Your explanations made everything clear for me. And Hawk always asks good questions!
Wonderful! I'm so happy you found it helpful! --teresa
Awww watching really late,busy day.
Hi from Michigan the home of creative passions love your teaching videos.
Did not know this about flannel thanks for the info
You're very welcome! --teresa
Best tutorial I’ve found. Learned so much. Thank you🎉
I love this tutorial thanks for sharing your knowledge.
You are so welcome! I'm glad it helped!
Hello from Nebraska
Love your videos
I am in Texas
Hello! I’m enjoying this tutorial! Is the triangle a right angle triangle?
Yes, it is!
When you stitch the binding down, is your needle going off the cuddle to the cotton or is it only stitching on cuddle the whole time? I have an old machine that can only straight stitch or zig-zag. Nothing fancy. I need to know if the needle is going left and right on the cuddle only or if it will alternate cotton, cuddle,cotton,cuddle. Thank you!
The zig zag is mostly on the Cuddle binding, but goes just off the edge into the cotton to secure it.
Will this technique work for cuddle dimple?
Good morning
I have bought some cotton material to make into a curtain but it's a bit thin see thru, what can I put on the back that's light but filters out from see in
Hi Teresa great video, do you use batting if you have cuddle 3 pieced on top and cuddle 3 backing
Yes, sometimes I do. I like to use Quilter's Dream Poly if it going to be long-armed. If I am making it on my regular sewing machine, I am more likely to skip the batting. --teresa
Show me a full tutorial of a thick quilted cotton big blanket please
Is it ok to use a straight stitch for the binding?
Oops, I should have waited, just saw you do it.
At about the 1hr,10 min mark, Theresa talked about using a layer with the quilting cotton to give it more heft, to be more equal in weight to the Cuddle back. She said it was more Cuddle, but to me, it looked like a layer of white mid- or heavy-weight flannel. Was it Cuddle?
Yes, it was Cuddle® in White. I did not use flannel as a batting in this episode. --teresa
I purchased two different digital print cuddles for the top and bottom of a baby blanket. Would you add batting between these layers? If so, should I sandwich QD poly batting or another layer of cuddle in-between to give the blanket more heft? Also, if the blanket measures 30" x 40" and I use batting, do I need to sew quilting lines to attach the back piece to the batting piece (I'm not a quilter so that scares me!)? Or, in your opinion, is using C3 cuddle (left loose) as the middle layer a better option for me? Thank you.
If you don't want to quilt it, the easiest way to use the fabrics to create a blanket would be with the Luxe Throw pattern we have. You can find a tutorial here on our channel and our pattern on the website: www.shannonfabrics.com/download_patterns/50.LuxeThrow_23_0112.pdf. --teresa
Can u use a serger on the binding?
Yes, you can!
What about tacking a cuddle-cuddle-cotton sandwich with embroidery thread about a hand-span apart?
You totally could! I find that sewing a little X works really well. --teresa
