The Binding Lab

Binding is one of those sewing skills that looks simple — and yet can feel surprisingly complicated in practice.

It’s the final edge. The visible border. The frame that finishes your work.
And when it goes wrong, it can overshadow everything you’ve just made.

The Binding Lab is designed to remove that frustration — replacing uncertainty with clarity, and “hoping it works” with a steady, repeatable process you can trust.

Inside this DeepDive, Ali walks you through binding in a way that makes each layer make sense. You’ll see how small inaccuracies stack, why edges sometimes behave unpredictably, and how a few deliberate habits can completely change the outcome.

Here are some of the things you’ll learn:

• How to prepare your project edge so the binding can perfectly wrap around the edge
• How to hone your seam allowance to ensure you always catch the back
• Why pressing the “hinge” after the first seam makes such a difference
• Ali's secret for securing the back so you can finish with confidence
• How to achieve 3 different binding finishes (hand-finished and machine-finished) so you can choose for your style preferences and timeline.

This isn’t about rigid rules.

It’s about understanding what binding is doing — and learning how to guide it to consistently achieve a beautiful finish to your project.

By the end, binding won’t feel like the risky final step that causes anxiety or frustration.

It will feel predictable. Controlled. Satisfying.

The Binding Lab will be available FREE for 3 days when it releases on March 20th.
After that, it will live exclusively inside Sewflow Membership.

If binding has ever felt fiddly, unpredictable, or quietly disappointing — this is your invitation to approach it differently.
