When I make binding, I allow the MINIMUM of 12" extra on a twin quilt, more on large quilts. That is insurance for the situation you mention. It allows me to remove the offending seam, stitch the seam in a more convenient place, and continue. I do not like this as one is dealing with the bulk of the quilt, but it is do-able. To AVOID this situation, lay the binding around the quilt and check. For more on this award winning quilt binding tip, go to

Thanks, Pat! I checked out your tip - I like it! I'll keep that in mind next time I'm ready to bind.
