How To Bind a Quilt and Use Decorative Stitches
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2024
- In today's video, I show you how I add a binding to my quilt. I show you how I measure, cut and attach the binding strips, and then I show you four different decorative stitches for sewing the binding down. I think this is a really nice way to finish a quilt that has had many hours of work put into it.

Your explanation of the overlapping binding method is the best I’ve ever seen. Thanks so much.
Oh thank you so much Marilyn! That means so much to me as I worked hard on this video
I’m 53 years old and this is by far the most beautiful quilt I have ever seen. Great job.
Wow, thank you!
I’m new to quilting and have watched loads of videos and have never seen anyone start and end the binding like you ….. it’s amazing … I can’t wait to try it … thank you so much Emma 💖💖
so glad you liked it Tina, thanks for watching
Loved all the different stitches. Dresses up the binding. Thank you.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Thank you Sharon! It's nice to dress it up isn't it 😊
My idea of eternal paradise is a big quilting studio with all the tools for hand quilting and infinite amounts of fabric and Emma’s videos playing on a big screen TV. Oh this does my heart good. Never stop making videos, Emma. You’re a natural wonder. This one is especially zen for some reason, not sure why.
aww thanks so so much JoJo, I appreciate your kind words, have a lovely day
I think that's the most helpful video I've watched with regards to doing binding. Thanks Emma. I love the look of the finished quilt, very pretty
Oh my goodness thank you! That honestly means everything to me x
Your tutorial os well done. It showed me the importance of going slowly and pressing as i go. Well done
Emma after I watch all your videos I have learned so many great ideas. I HAVE TO START MY DAY BY SLOW STITCHUBG AND COFFEE AND YOUR TUTORIALS. THANKS emma
Aww thank you Alice! Reading that made me smile
Oh my goodness. That binding "popping the end in the 45 deg slot" method is so clever. Thank you Emma.
so glad you liked it Maggie
Love seeing how to make these beautiful stitches. Thank you for the wealth of information, but keeping it manageable for those of us learning them.
Thank you Susan 🌸
Oh my goodness! This is the prettiest quilt I’ve ever seen!
Your binding is spot on, Emma. The decorative stitching just sets it off perfectly❤.
Thank you for sharing🥰
oh thank you Denise! that is such a lovely thing to say. thank you so much for watching
Oh Emma I love the way u do binding . I'm always having trouble with binding . Thanks , will have to try this next time .
❤Thank you Emma
It can be really tricky, I didn't always do it this way but this is now my go to method as it works well. I hope it will work for you too
You are a very good teacher. I really appreciate this information and your quilt is stunningly beautiful. The colors remind me of the first quilt I made for my daughter about 30 years ago. The quality of it is in a different universe, but the colors are so lovely.
Thank you so much!
I love the way you inserted the tail of the binding, I’ve never seen that before and I’m going to try it on my next quilt.
I had never thought to do decorative stitches when binding my quilts. They look so lovely and add a real personal touch. Thank you Emma for another lovely video. ❤💐xx
So glad it was helpful, thank you for watching Jacqueline x
The best tutorial on binding ever and the decorative stitches so clearly explained. So calming to watch the delicate pink fabric being stitched. Thankyou
thank you Lorraine! I never expected to receive such a lovely comment, means so much to me
How brilliant you are with joining your binding! I have not seen this method and it's looks so much easier than the method I was taught. I love your videos Emma! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 😊
What a lovely video. I think this is a beautiful quilt and love the stitches.
Thank you so much!
Loved all the decorative stitches you demonstrated. I'll definitely give it a try in a future quilt. Thank you so much for sharing!
I am so glad you liked it Priscilla
Incredibly helpful, Emma! Thank you so much. Your close-up camera work is fabulous and shows exactly what you are doing. I would never have thought of doing a decorative stitch on my binding - this is a very special touch💕
I am so glad it was helpful! Thank you for such lovely feedback
Hi Emma - love this video, beautiful quilt! I never get a neat finish when I do bind a quilt so I'm going to use your method as it's very clear and easy to follow and the decorative stitching adds such a beautiful finish. Thanks again - it's so refreshing to watch your videos!
I hope it works for you Julie, thanks for watching
My favorite way of applying binding except the hand stitching 😊
hello there thank you for this wonderful video i so agree with the comment below this is that by far this has been the est video for the binding i think i might actually be abel to do it and like always your videos are so calming and you are a very good teacher
oh I am so happy to hear that, thank you so much
Your quilt is beautiful, inspiring. It has sparked my imagination. Maybe my next quilt will be a lot like it. Love your sweet videos. 🩷
that is so lovely to hear, I hope you do make one, thanks for watching
Thank You Emma , this looks a really neat way of finishing the binding 👍
Glad you like it!
That is a wonderful tutorial. I really suck at bindings and you gave me some good tips. I remember my Grandmother going around doing a blanket stitch with little pen markings on the side of her thumb and as she sewed around every stitch was perfectly placed. I human ruler lol.
that is a great idea! what a clever lady!
2:10 am looking at this video of the decorative binding. Very beautiful
Emma, all the stitching is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you so much!
Oh,Emma,this is the best video I've ever seen on binding,Wish I had known all this a long time ago.Have really struggled with joining borders and mitre corners.Now it all looks so simple,such a pretty quilt.Thank you so much.xxxx
Thank you so much for saying that Diane, I worked really hard on the video so receiving a comment like that really means a lot to me
Really loved this video, your quilt has turned out so pretty! I like to leave half an inch or so of the quilt top in place when trimming as this gives a nice full binding. Can’t wait for your next video xx
that is a great idea Rachel, I will try that next time, I think it will make it much nicer, thank you! x
Another Fabulous Video! I use the same method for binding-- after trying many other methods with various tools & templates. This method is simple & always works. I also use the Fern Stitch (although smaller)most of the time, BUT I have never thought of using what I was taught to call the " Lazy Daisy" Stitch in a Herribone pattern--Just Brilliant! I am going to try that. Thanks Emma!
so glad it was useful , thanks for watching!
Super tutorial, your work is real heirloom stuff, outstanding. I do a lot of cross stitch but adore the different stitches for edgings, cant wait to try this on my quilting and patch work. I have a very old night cap (I don't wear it 😂) which is hand made with beautiful crochet trim, it has been hand stitched all around the seams and I just look at the work so delicate and tiny, I think it's fern stitch. Thank you for the inspiration 🌺
Oh thank you Alison Mary, you have said such beautiful things here, so so kind of you, it really means a lot to me x
The overlapping binding method looks much easier than doing a diagonal join with the two ends - I must definitely try your method! Also I love your use of decorative stitches to secure the binding.I wonder if you could talk about how you deal with all your scraps in your Q and A session? Do you keep everything or scraps bigger than, say,1 1\2 inches? Do you neaten them or prepare them in any way for future projects?. Thank you very much for such an informative video.
thank you Linda, will address this in the Q and A, thanks so much!
Awesome! Thank you for the great demonstration!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve struggled with the last (almost) step … I typically go from attaching the binding to rolling it over to begin the final step. Then I ‘fight’ with bulk. In the future, I’ll press the binding. I like your decorative stitching … will use it on my next quilt! 🧵🧵🧵
I ove this video. I'm inspired to do decorative stitches on my next binding.
I am so glad to hear that
A lovely tutorial 🌹🪡
Thank you! 😊
I love your quilt.
thank you!
Such a pretty quilt. I love your videos, always such an inspiration and very informative. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Aww thank you ever so much Julie, I really appreciate your support x
Very helpful and well demonstrated. Thank you. Deborah Powell
You are so welcome, thank you Deborah
I agree with @marilynpease, your way of joining the binding is the best I have seen. Wish I had checked this video first. I wouldn't be taking out m corners to fix .
Thank you, im so glad it was helpful
Beautiful !! Love the decorative stitching ... thank you
I am so happy to hear that Cathi, thanks for watching
Thank you for another great video.
Thanks for watching!
That’s so thoughtful of you Donna, Thanks for your positive review,How are you and how’s the weather over there?
I really learned a lot today by watching your video…. Especially on how to bind a quilt. I have bound many quilts ., but w/ this one you taught me how to do it easier. And all your decorative stitching, so very nice.thank you for your tutorial. Just great!!!
that honestly means so much to me Anne, I am so glad you enjoyed the video
Love the quilt Emma
Thank you Iris!
Love that!!!!!
thank you April
Helpful tips & thank you!
I've just watched you hand-stitch this beautiful, very feminine quilt, and you have inspired me to make a similar quilt and use the stitches you've shown to do the hand-turned hem. Thankyou for your expert and friendly contribution to my ongoing quilting endeavours. Be happy. From Oz with love.
that is so lovely to hear, I am so glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching and happy stitching!
Wonderful video! Love the beautiful stitches on the binding. I think those needles would be very helpful with decorative stitching. I haven’t seen those needles here in USA. Thanks sew much🪡🧵
So glad you found it useful Annette, thank you for watching
Gorgeous.
Thank you Hattie! 😊
Lovely work indeed ♡
Thank you! 😊
Nice to see your lovely quilt finished! 👏👏👏
Thank you Chris, it's nice to have reached the finish line at last!
All beautiful Emma x
thank you so much Jean x
Muy bonito genial👍👍👍👍💕💕💕💕
gracias!
Very informative, thank you Emma, I will certainly refer back to this when I ever manage to actually finish a quilt. :)
I am interested to hear more about a fabric swap and what is entailed.
I have binge watched all of your videos since watching the quilt as you go hexagons. I've started making these, for an 'I spy' quilt for our baby granddaughter. I've loved making them and I expect this to be the first quilt I do finish! But, as every hexagon has been fussy cut, I've already spent a lot of £'s on fabric. So I would be happy to swap some of my fabrics, if anyone else would be interested?
Thank you for all of your content, I am hooked. :)
Hi Christine, thank you so much for watching my videos, it really means a lot to me, I am so happy to hear you enjoy them. Great question about a fabric swap, I will have a think and address it in the Q and A. Thank you and happy stitching!
Great binding tips Emma, I am going to use these with my current project.
I am so glad, thanks for watching Stacie
Another fabulous video Emma - they mesmerise me! I am in love with the Liberty fabric on the back of the quilt. The whole quilt is beautiful. Looking forward to your Q&As video. My question would be, did you feel daunted when you started a new craft - ie. crochet, embroidery? I know you said your grandmother taught you from a young age, but I am starting out late in life and feel so nervous as to where to start. I tend to spend more time watching how to do it, than actually starting and doing it myself. Am I the only one to feel this way? Best wishes from Lottie in Suffolk.
Thank you Lottie, and great question, I will definitely answer it in the Q and A. Take care
Yes lottie , I find myself watching u-tube videos and not actually start something . Sometimes I must push myself to do it or ot would never been tried
@@emmajonesvintagesewingbox Thank you so much Emma. I think it would be helpful.
@@susanwilliams2506 Thank you for your support. Isn't it daft? I have this terrible fear or failure or not doing it "properly".
lovely calm videos....wondered how you like your Juki and what machine model you have? Your work is just stunning.
hello from Canada
🍁
thank you Irene. I have the TL2200QVP and I really love it, it's a brilliant machine, will stitch through anything
Beautiful ^0^
thank you
I have done 2 full sized quilt tops with the hexegon shape only. Could you show us some other shapes being put together? You have been my inspiration. Thanks
thank you Carol. Yes, I am sure I will show more shapes in the future as they come up. Thanks so so much
What a great demo Emma, so clear and informative, thank you. You have made some beautiful items, where do you get your inspiration from? (Had a difficult few months and my sew jo has wandered off for now!)
Thank you so much Mary, I am glad you liked the video. I will address your question in my Q and A, thank you. I'm sorry the last few months have been difficult, I am sure when things settle your sewjo will return. When I feel like that I take myself out into nature, read the books that inspire me etc and then slowly I feel more creative again. I think the key is don't put pressure on yourself, it will come back. Sending hugs x
❤
Your binding fabric is beautiful so smooth. Very pretty joined edge of the binding, it is so much easier and professional. I have a question, how do you mark your needle for your measured stitch, is it nail polish?
the needles come like that! They are super. They are called your certain stitch needles by Pony
@@emmajonesvintagesewingbox Thank you Emma, they look wonderful to use. Such a great idea.
Lovely!!!! ❤ Do you know when you will be getting the Pony brand needles back in stock?
Very soon! Hopefully this week. Thanks for watching
Очень красиво! Спасибо!
thank you!
Two questions for you. What are the names of the needle that has the colored mark on the tip and also your quilt looks so nice and soft what type of batting did you?
I used Hobbs heirloom batting and the needles are called your certain stitch, there's a link in the description to them in my shop so you can see more info there. Thanks for watching
Hi Emma what sewing needles do you use please as we don’t have these in au
I linked them below in the description but they are called Your Certain Stitch and are made by Pony
Hi Emma, please can you advise which needles to use for EPP, thankyou x
Hi Carol, I like milliners size 9 or 10 or appliqué sharps sizes 10 or 111. Hope that helps
@@emmajonesvintagesewingbox thankyou
Would love to find the needles you used on the binding .
there is a link in the description to my shop and I have some of them in stock but you can find all of the details there, hope that helps
You stitch the binding by hand all the way around on the back ?
yes I do, it looks lovely with these decoration stitches too
Do you mark the needle yourself, or does it come that way?
they are made that way!
What kind of thread do u use on your Juki sewing machine? I just got one?
I use aurifil 50wt and sometimes wonderfil deco bob
Thank you
