I have been doing the binding this way for many years. In the past I tried other ways but found this way the easiest for me. It’s good that I am not the only one😊
I used this method for 25+ years until just recently, when I purchased the binding tool. I’ve used it twice so far. First time: instant success! Yay! Second time: I did it wrong so it was tricky to fix it. But that was totally a case of User Error!!! Hand stitching the back is my second favorite step of the entire process. I love that person’s comment about “bonding” with the quilt at the final stage. My first favorite part of the process is auditioning fabrics and planning a project. Love playing with my fabric! So for me, the best two parts of a quilt are the very beginning and the very end. Good video!!
The montra I was taught with for joining strips is - sew through the waistband and not through the crotch (assuming the strips are legs). Never sew one wrong again!!! 🤣
This is so helpful 🤣
I love that! Thank you!
I love that mantra! Perfect!
Thanks sooo much for this mantra, I'm passing it on to my quilt gang!
Great tutorial! Appreciate you sharing this with us.
What a wonderful tutorial! This is the way I've always done binding but without all the important details like how to join and the mitered corners! I could never get those parts just right! Im just about to bind a large quilt ( i rarely make large quiklts) so i saw this just in time to do it right! Thank you so much. I love your videos. You do a great job of instructing without making it boring. Lol
I do my binding the same way and I teach it that way too. I think I learned that method from Nancy Zieman. Also, instead of stopping and backstitching at 1/4” at the corners, I stop and stitch off the quilt at the 45 degree angle. I think I learned that from Kaye England. I like the “therapy” of hand finishing the binding and when I get to the binding joint, I will put a few stitches there to close it off. No one will ever know what method I chose.
xactly!... No reason to worry about stopping at that quarter inch point....just drive right off the edge. Simple!
Nice video. This is exactly how I learned to make binding. I thought I was the only one. Yes, it's super easy! I learned from Liz Porter...oh gosh must have been 15 or 20 years ago in an episode of Fons & Porters Love of Quilting. I never could understand why I was the only one who binding this way. Nice to know I'm not alone. Thanks for spreading the word. The only think I do differently is hand sewing the binding. I always sew with the binding closest to me. Everyone else seems to hand sew with the quilt towards them.
Me too! This is so much easier. I never understood why people work so hard to match them up.
This is how I do my binding. Been doing it this way for years. Really a stress free method.
Thus is how I was taught how to put on binding from my mother-in-law like 30 years ago. It is super easy to understand. Thanks for sharing it with the world.
Genius is an understatement. I will be using this method from now on
I always use bias binding on quilts that will get washed because bias binding wears better. With straight binding, one thread runs all along the fold. With bias binding, many threads cross the folded edge.
That’s a good point, makes sense!
Thanks so much! Could never figure out the connection on this the other way.
This was everything I needed it to be. Thank you for sharing you time and tips!
New to your channel and you are so easy to learn from. Not a lot of fluff, just down to business and at a listenable pace.
I have to say that I find your method of joining the binding to be by far the easiest. I bought one of those binding tools and for the life of me, I can’t get it to come out right!
Your around the neck light looks much more comfortable than the headlamp I use, which kind of squeezes my head….🤣. It would be handy for crocheting in the evening too!
Has anyone told you that… you are a genius!? Love the pocket and the way you explained the corners. Thank you.❤
Haha 😁
Thanks ! I learn so much from your videos. The over sized hot pad video was very impressive
Easiest, no stress binding join method!!!! Thank you for the video 😊👍💕
Love this binding method....corners to , that's how I learned to do corners from my aunt .
She taught me to do binding another method and I never picked up. She's no longer with us here now so glad I found this.
I got a little tiny pucker but know next time to be more careful.
Thank you
Very pretty quilt!!!
I press the binding away from the quilt before i either hand or machine stitch to finish. It seems to fold over more easily then. I keep the binding next to me also when hand stitching. Very good video!
I just bound a quilt with your pocket method. Game changer!
I have never tried to bind anything because the ending was just too difficult. Not any more! Thank you so much
The quilt is so pretty! I love how they crinkle after washing/drying. I have that same exact pink neck light. I have another one that is black from a different company and it is so sensitive that you barely touch it and one of the lights will change. This one doesn't do that. Well worth the purchase.
Definitely genius, maths not my thing! ❤
This method works for me too. Thank you!
Love hand stitching! It is so therapeutic!
I totally agree!
Just found your video and I am so thankful for your version of finishing the joining of the binding. I have managed to finish the other way, and with tears an frustration I have managed. BUT I’m just about ready to bind a fairly large quilt and I’m definitely going to do it your way. I have subscribed and bless you dear girl for sharing your talents with us.
Can u do a tutorial for this quilt please ..i see its a log cabin but how to irganise the pieces would be a great help . Its beautiful . Nga mihi ❤❤❤
Thanks for tip on the neck light!
I’ll definitely be looking into getting one!
Ty for the straight forward time saving method. You're a great teacher!
Beautiful quilt!❤
Just found you today, Thank you! I have always struggled with joining the binding. Brilliant!
Nice job thank you
I was hand sewing a binding on the back of a quilt while I watched. Other than the beginning "pocket" I use the same methods. Binding a quilt by hand on the back is my favorite part of quilt making. It is so relaxing and I get a chance to "bond" with my artwork before it goes to its next destination. Thanks for the demo and info.
Hi from Texas. Thank you. Awesome.
I love all of your videos! I have watched several this morning. I would love the quilt pattern. ❤️
Thank you, Terry! I'll work on a tutorial for the quilt, it was really fun to make :)
Hi,
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your channel!!! I feel so much more freedom with quilting after watching your tutorials! So good!!!! For the quilt in this video, would it just be an extra large log cabin? How big is this finished quilt? I'm not to the point of "making it up as I go along" yet, so I do like to have a pattern and measurements. Thanks for creating amazing content!!!!
Hi! Yes, that baby quilt is just a big log cabin. I think it was 40” x 40”.
Thank you so very much, this will be my go-to method of binding as I usually have a lot of trouble binding. this is much easier. I appreciate this so very much.
Gorgeous baby log cabin blanky!!
After I have attached the binding to the quilt I will iron the binding up and over to the back of the quilt it elimate the pinning
So beautiful. ! Also, great tutorial.
Wonderful tutorial! Thank you!❤
Love it! That's how I do it!
Luv this method!!!!
I’ve been trying to figure this out for the last 8 months. I just couldn’t find anything on how to do the binding like you showed. I’m excited to try this new method!
That's it, I'm subscribing!
Adorable quilt.
Completely wonderful!
Me encantó tu trabajo, muy bien explicado el binding, muchas gracias! Y esa luz LED para leer me fascinó excelente para este trabajo también. Muy lindo vídeo gracias x compartir tus conocimientos, Saludos!!🙋🏽♀️🇦🇷💖👏👏👏👏
I can’t believe you are still joining the ends that way. There’s such an easier way now.
The way you’re doing it is very awkward and the other way is super super easy
Tracy from “ the sewing channel” showed the easier way and then I found a few other videos from years ago who actually did it this super easy way
Your way actually is more fuss
I had a light likw that. My husband took it out to the garage, he uses it all the time.
That is a super cute baby quilt. I am going to try your binding method soon on how to join the ends. Thanks
I found this very helpful thank you
This is beautiful, and so helpful. Subscribed.
That is genius.
Love your binding method, saved it to try it.
What soon great ideas!
That quilt is beautiful
Thank you 🤗
Pretty!
Awesome👏👏👏 thank you so much ❤️😀
You are a very good teacher. I have tried to hand finish my binding. I tremor too much and it takes me forever 😪
GENIUS!
In case no one has told you…you are a genius and I love you! I always struggle with the ends of my binding. Also thank y’all for your service… I truly appreciate your sacrifice. ❤
Aw thanks so much, I’m glad you found it helpful!! 🤗
I can’t wait to try your binding method. It looks so easy. I also love hand sewing bindings. It’s so relaxing.
I think it’s relaxing too 💕
Thank you for all of your videos! You explain it so even i can understand! 😂 I`m new to all of this! As a newbie though (and please forgive if it sounds like a stupid question), when doing the hand stitching, how close together do you put the stitches? And thanks for the link to the neck light. I had no idea it existed but i think it's the answer to alot of issues (husband doesn't like the bright lamp on when watching tv but i like being able to see whatever I'm working on). Thanks for all you do!
I think hand stitches should be pretty small. Just under 1/4” apart, probably, but with practice i think you’ll start to intuitively know!
I’m a new subscriber (a couple of weeks) and I love your videos! When you do the hand sewing for your binding, do you double the thread or just use one strand? You may have mentioned that but if so I missed it. Thanks!
Hi, welcome! Yes, I double the thread for binding 👍🏻
@@PinCutSew thank you!
Random, but I love the choice of music.❤
Oh thank you because I really agonize over it 😅
Too loud, I had to keep adjusting my volume when you started to talk.
Your quilt is beautiful! Do you wash all your fabric and batting first? I am about to start my first quilt.
I usually wash fabric, yes, but many people don’t, so you can do what you like 👍🏻. I don’t wash batting though.
I prefer a hand sewn binding but for the quilt I am currently working on I decided I would sew the binding closed by machine but I then realized I should have first machine sewn binding to the back in order to then machine sew it shut from the front! I have to wonder if subconsciously I did it this way so that now I have to hand sew it closed from the back....I'll be happier this way I suppose. Great tutorial!!!
I have done that before too!
Thanks for sharing! This looks very easy. Can you tell me what size your baby quilts are please ! 😊
I make them anywhere from 36”-42” usually 👍🏻
Love that tuck in, I had a horrendous time with that way other people do it! I'd love for someone to show or explain the sewing to the corners. I get the stop at 1/4" before end, but when you turn the corner and start sew down from the top, are you supposed to be sewing over or next to where you stopped?
Yes, you sew over, start at the very end!
I like that method, looking forward to trying it. I just worry that it will be really bulky at the end join??
I don’t find it bulky at all :)
I’m definitely going to try it on my next quilt 😊
Instead of making your binding 2.5 inches wide, use a 3 inch wide binding. So much easier to work with.
I’m trying that joining method next time! Looks pretty sleek. I’m curious as to the hand stitch you’re using to finish? Is it a whip stitch?
Yep, just a whip stitch.
Oops saw the full pic thanks…..
I’m confused. Can you show the tuck you made zoomed in? Maybe a smaller project pretty please.
This might help! pin.it/2zd5fER
What is your take on the new trend of Facing with binding?
You mean using the backing as binding? I haven’t tried it but it looks like a time saver!
I like to hand sew the binding but do you have single or double thread?
I use double thread 👍🏻
Please show pic of full quilt..what size was your centre block?
Is the thread doubled or single for the hand stitching part?
It’s doubled
How to join quilt as you go quilt strip together
I have actually never made a quilt with this method!
What is the brand name of the neck light?
U said u have tiny stitches showing on the back. I have used this method for binding for years (except for your ending) and I have never had stitches show on the underside.
Do you mean the hand stitches on the back of the binding? You must be a much better hand stitcher than me! I think I get going too fast 😏
What is the name of the light around your neck?
Here's a link to mine :) amzn.to/3oCMJTu
Won’t it fray if you don’t put a little hem in it?
No, everything is enclosed, I’ve never had any fraying 👍🏻
Why do you hand sew the one side of your binding ?
It’s the traditional method because no stitching shows from the front.
This is the scariest tutorial I have ever seen
I hope you meant easiest? 🤞🏻🤔😆
This method is old, old, old.
i am concerned... you are a lovely young woman. are you just tired here, or is there something more wrong (abuse) ?
