Excellant tutorial. I watched this last year, but revisited today; your method of adding binding has a whole new meaning to me now! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
I think either velcro closure or ties..maybe loop and button with elastic. This is a very good video. Thank you!
I thought that I must finish one design cross stitch before starting another. But when I see some cross stitchers who start stitching several designs in the same time, I finally think why not... It's a reason to create beautiful pouch for storage and I will stitching a design when I want... I will doing like you. 🥰🥰
Thanks american stitchers for showing me a funny way to stitch 🌹
thank you so much for this tutorial it is so inb formative thank you again

Great tutorial. Thanks!
Very nice and precise info!!
You are amazing! You are just a baby. How did you learn so much? Your tutorials are so easy to understand. Thank you for all your hard work. ☺🐝🦋
Aww thank you, I am probably much older than you think and I've been sewing since I was 5 or 6 years old! My mom used to run a sewing business out of the home when I was a kid. I also used to teach quilting at a local shop :)
@@elizabethanncanstitch
You could easily make a shorter vinyl pocket for your chart, bind the top and layer with the fabric pocket, and move the chart when putting it away. Or you could copy and laminate the picture?
I've been quilting several years but learned a few tricks about binding in this tutorial. It's also the best tutorial for the magnetic closure I've seen. Thanks!
Great video thank you!😊

Beautifully explained. Thank you 🙏🏻
Very nice tutorial I'm going to make these for sure
Have fun!
Hi Elizabeth! Love this folder and plan to make many more. I see seasonal fabric to match the season I am stitching. I made one change of adding a 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" clear pocket to the upper right on the front so I can put the name of the project contained in the folder. Thanks again for the great tutorial!
I canNOT wait to make one of these! Thank you so much for all your time and effort making this tutorial.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thankyou for this wonderful tutorial! I will definitely be making this soon. P.s. a chopstick works very well as a turning tool!
I’ve heard that! I keep meaning to buy a plastic set to keep with my sewing tools!
Love it thank you this is the first video I watched of yours I will be back
Just came across your channel. Love it. Thank you
Awesome! Thank you!
Just a little comment about the frixion pens, be careful, they reappear when it's cold. And after a few cycles of cold/heat/cold, they don't disappear anymore
If you Spray starch your fabric SEVERAL times before marking with frixion pen and use ONLY FELT tip frixion pens, (NOT METAL TIP) you will have no problem with ink reappearing. The layers of starch form a barrier so the fabric will not absorb the ink.
@@ohsewmeo yeah but the starch can discolour over time
@@gabrielleauclair254 not if you use Best Press. It’s more of a fabric finisher rather than hard core starch. Best Press has never discolored for me snd I’ve been using it for many years.
Why are you worried about starch discoloring……..you should always wash a quilt when your finished putting on the binding.
@@theresabautista7010 The frixion pens are frequently used, not just for quilting, but for embroidery too. So it's important that people know what it does over time and with temperature differences. As for the starch, I don't know how the washing would affect it or not, nor how it would stand the test of time.
Thank you, so easy to follow. You are a wonderful teacher…
Beautiful! You’ve inspired me to try one. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us! I appreciate it! You are a fabulous teacher!
Thanks so much 😊
excellent tutorial
What a great video!
Thank you!
Thank you so much. You are a wonderful teacher. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good to know! Thanks
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Accidentally hit the dislike but then changed it to like. Can't wait to try this out! 💕💕💕❤❤
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this tutorial. Thank you!!!!!
So glad I found this tutorial. Love this folder. Thank you
This was a great bag idea. Just what I need. Thank you
Thank you for this tutorial. Very informative. Can't wait to make some for a couple of friends and me.
If you need two pieces for the pocket that measure 10 1/2" by 13 1/2", that would require the fabric to be 21'" by 27" which is larger than one fat quarter which is usually 21" by 18". However if you used vinyl you would only need one piece the cut size. Great tutorial.
Thanks for sharing
This tutorial was great. You are such a good teacher. Can hardly wait to make one. Thankyou thankyou thankyou❤❤❤
You are a wonderful teacher and I made the bag step by step along with your video. It is just what I was looking for. Thanks!!
Yay so happy to hear that!
Liz, thank you for sharing this complete project folder tutorial along with all of the tips for a beautiful binding finish. So very generous of you! Can’t wait to try making one or several!
Love learning new techniques in making bags
so excited Liz. Thank you for your generosity and your giggles!!!!!!!
Thank you sooo much for the tutorial and the time you spent on it. It's excellent, you make exactly the right comments to help us through and I love the result. I'm gonna follow more of your tutorials soon!
That is so nice of you to say, thank you! So glad you found it helpful!
So nice I will make this for my grandaughter.
HACK that works! What works great as a turning tool are those a cleaned extra large Bubble Tea sized straw and a chopstick that fits in the straw. Stick the straw and the edge you want to start turning and start pushing the chopstick thru along with the straw and push it thru using the chopstick to turn it out. The straw seems to slide along fine and I've turned a 60 inch strap thru no problem. I'm sure it'd work fine for long but so far the things I've needed it for haven't been much larger. Oh I turn a large pillow case thru no problem. I've been using this hack for quite a few years. Recenty I've noticed they actually sell something simular for way more money. If you have an Asian supermarket in your city they sell packages for very inexpensive amount.
Thank you for this tutorial. I finally see how to get a perfect binding corner.
I'm so glad!
Fantastic tutorial. I’m reaming of making one of these project folders. When the time comes I’m sure that I’ll be watching this video again. Thank you very much.
You are so generous sharing your talents! Thank you ❤ Barb
Awesome!! Can’t wait to make one!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!
Hello Kathryn how are you doing,
where are you from?
You sure made it look easy to Babe.
If only I could LIKE LIKE LIKE the video a few hundred times. What a fantastic tutorial and so many great hints and tips. Can't wait to sew one up. Cheers!
Thank you!!!
Love your folder!! I made a similar one today, big $$ saving tip: as the Bosal I use is 20", my bags will be 20" so I don't have the waste and with a 13.5 x 20"folder, I can put my stash of Fat Quarters to use
Stephanie… I was wondering, if you start at 20”, do you lose any significant amount when you quilt the panels? I dont think I would want to go much smaller than 20, but I do want to make several so not wasting bosal is a great idea.
@@tamiminor879 I didn't lose much at all, plenty of room for my full sized printed paper patterns behind the vinyl pockets, and I did 2 vinyl pockets
@@tamiminor879 plus, I have a lot of fat quarters and a great size for using those as well
@@tamiminor879 also, I bought Pellon FF79F2, flex foam 2 sided fusible stabilizer at Joanne's with a coupon and it was about $6 a yard and they have a wide version too
@@stephaniecampbellweitzman3591 this is weird, but I accidentally ordered the single side fusible Pellon. When it arrived, the bolt was labeled as such, but the paper insert that is rolled in n the roll said 2 sided and sure enough, it is two sided!
You did an excellent job of showing us how to make this bag. Thank you for taking it slow for us new bees. I can already plan on making some of these as gifts.
Awesome!!🌻👍🏼
I think you did a terrific job of teaching us how to sew a great bag. Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Very detailed tutorial! Really appreciate all the work you put into this. Thank you. You have given me the confidence to try making a folder myself.
Thank you for freely sharing this tutorial including the measurements and your tips and tricks. ❤️
Hello Thames how are you doing,
where are you from?
Thank you so very much for this tutorial. I made I think it was Ashley. This tutorial is so helpful now I see why you had us of some of the things we did. My next folder will be so much nicer now that I see what the end project is like. I am still using the other folder but my next one will look way more professional and I won't be ashamed to give it as a gift.
Great video !! I am inspired to make one☺️
