Quilt Sleeve: Single Fold

Instructions for make a single fold quilt sleeve

Step 1

• Cut a piece of fabric 6" by the width of the quilt
• Turn under a 1" hem on both short sides and one long side of the fabric and topstitch

Step 2

• With wrong side of the sleeve facing the back of the quilt, center the sleeve along the top edge of the quilt
• Match raw edges and pin in place leaving a 1" indent on either side – this indent will allow the quilt rod to hang without being visible from the front
• Stitch sleeve to the back of the quilt using the same seam allowance as binding

Step 3

• To allow space for the hanging rod and to ensure that the quilt does not pucker when it hangs, make a small fold in the sleeve by folding it up to align with the raw edges, and then back down on itself
• Pin bottom edge of sleeve to quilt
• Hand stitch in place
