To bind a zigzag edge of a chevron quilt, first, cut your binding strips on the bias to accommodate the angles. Attach the binding to the quilt's edges using a sewing machine, starting from the middle of one side and working around, mitering the corners as you go. Finally, fold the binding over to the back of the quilt and hand-stitch or machine-stitch it in place for a clean finish. Make sure to press the binding as you go to help it lay flat.

You would have to turn your edges under from top to bottom (or the opposite if your bottom fabric is complementary). Fold under 1/4" at least, twice so you hide your raw/raveling edges inside the second fold. Or, if you have two layers of fabric, you could fold the top layer under 1/4" to 1/2" (wrong side to wrong side) and fold the bottom layer up 1/4" to 1/2" (again, wrong side to wrong side); pin in place and then sew securely. If sewing with a machine, use a decorative stitch if your machine offers any.
How do you make a two tier quilt binding?
To make a two-tier quilt binding, first prepare your binding strips by cutting fabric into two widths—one for the inner tier and a wider one for the outer tier. Sew the inner tier binding to the quilt's edge, mitering corners as you go. Once the inner binding is in place, attach the outer tier by folding it over the inner binding, then pin or clip it in place. Finally, sew along the outer edge of the binding to secure it, ensuring a neat finish on both sides of the quilt.
