How to Fold a Quilt on the Bias

How to fold a quilt on the bias is a very important skill to know. Perhaps you have never given much thought on how to fold a quilt.  For example, you might think that as long as it fits in the cupboard there’s no need to worry. 

However, folding a quilt into a square or a rectangle can actually cause unsightly wrinkles.  If you want to store your quilts, either temporarily or permanently, there is a better way to fold them.  Folding quilts on the bias will prevent those deep wrinkles that make them unsightly when wanting to display them again.

I wrote a post two years ago on this same topic.  However, it’s always worthwhile repeating, especially as I have many more subscribers now.  In addition, this new post links to a more detailed description of bias folding along with precise photos.
