Wow! after 20 plus years of quilting . . . I learned some great shortcuts!
I have use this method many times but it’s great to see someone else do it for a refresher. Thank you.
Love how you explain the process. You are very thorough making it easier to understand. Thank you!
I’m learning a lot from your tutorials. Thank you 🙏
You have made this sooooo easy!! I have been struggling and watching other TH-cams but yours is down to earth and easy to follow along. Thank you so much!
I enjoy your videos so much! Your content is wonderful. You have great delivery. And I learn so much! Just think your great! Thank you for all the time you put into teaching and encouraging us with a smile!
Always cut extra binding! Makes for great scrap binding later!
I LOVE that sound of ripping !
Woo hoo! Great time saver here without sacrificing anything good!!!
You are so clever!!
I love the way you present shortcuts!!! Praying over you and your family sweet girl💗💗💗

Ooohhh I want to try this. Especially the join!
👋,, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed 😇 day for u Catherine?
I learned something new today!!❤
Love ripping fabric!!!! The best way to get a straight edge!! I have been doing this for years... with a serpentine stitch for the front stitch down.... if you are a scrap quilt gal and trying to use up all the collected fabrics... this is a winner!!
I really enjoy your videos. Mostly I already pretty much experienced with what you are usually teaching, but seeing you do it can help me get over my ADHD procrastination hump. My stack of unfinished quilts love you 😍 So thank you 🙏 ❤😊
I have struggled with combining binding ends for years and I’ve never found a tutorial that helped me understand what I was doing wrong. But this seems easy enough to follow. I think I might finally be able to make a nice binding on my next project.
Hello 👋 How are you doing today??
Tearing fabric was a thing back when I was learning to sew. I'm going to give this a try. Thanks for sharing.
👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed day for you Linda?
Yayyyy...another way to bind!!!
My first quilt top (50 years ago) was a quilt in a day log cabin. And we ripped the strips for it! I still use that quilt.
Quilts just get better with age!!! My first quilts are so soft now from being washed and used!
My local quilt shop still tears the fabric. She will not cut with scissors. And, I can tell you it makes a difference. I’ve even started tearing at home.
I took home economics in the 60s and we were taught to always rip my fabric instead of cutting with a rotary cutter. No one in the shops have heard of this! I find when I am trying to straighten up my fabric for it difficult to do with the rotary cutter so I think I will go back to ripping for that first step. PS. The photo for "me" is really my mom, who would be 100 today!
Great tutorial! Especially for a beginner quilter, like me. Thanks!
👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed day for you Karen?
This is a great video! I recently made a quilt out of men's dress shirts. I torn the fabric to make sure I was cutting with the grain.
I remember tearing fabric with my mom before a sewing project.
Thank you! This was very helpful.
I love your tips about the binding I haven't ripped a binding in years I had forgotten all about it but it makes sense to get it nice and straight. But I've tried doing it without ironing it in half and I guess I just don't have the patience for it LOL to try to remember to fold and go a little bit and stop and go a little bit and stop and go a little bit I love your videos thanks for the other tips
👋,, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed 😇 day for u Deborah?
This was awesome. I do my binding like you, in that I sew to the back and do not iron, but I have not joined the ends like this in the past, I will be sure to use this method in the future. I love the simplicity of it! Thank you so much for sharing.
When I first learned to sew, I think all fabric shops tore the fabric. It's amazing how many inches you loose from both cut ends these days because of using the fold, rather than the selvedge, to "square up" fabric (it's rarely folded evenly from the factory). I always press my fabric open, then refold, selvedge to selvedge, to make sure it's straight. And yes, I do still tear my fabric when I can (i.e. yardage, as vs. precuts)!
Loved this binding technique, thanks!!
I enjoy and learned so much from you😀
Come back soon! I love your tutorials 😊
Wow! Great turtorial
Genius!!!
Very good-thanks!!🤗
Great tutorial! So many different ways to finish the ends.
Good info, back when I started sewing they always ripped the fabric when you bought it. Now with cutting, it gets wonky and too much waste.
I always rip wideback fabrics too because they are always folded so weirdly on the bolt. Cutting can be great for small pieces but ripping is a great option!
@@TinyOrchardQuilts absolutely
I would love to see how you do a decorative stitch on the front of the binding.
I have just discovered your channel. Thanks for making very helpful videos! I've been a quilter for about 20 years, in winter only, summer is for horses and gardening. I love discovering new techniques, and looking at other quilter's projects!
Love how you joined the binding ends.
👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed day for you Michelle?
Sending good vibes to you and yours this holiday season!❤
Hey Sandra! Apologies for dropping this here I came across your TH-cam channel and I would love to know you better. I'm guessing you must be an honest person, because I always found your comments to be so nice and respectful. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friend but if it sounds odd or embarrassing in any way please don't embarrass me by replying. Have a wonderful day, and keep sharing!
Wonderful tutorial. I look forward to trying some of your techniques.
👋,, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed 😇 day for u Lynne?
You saved my life a couple of days ago - cut my binding time in half (even though I went off-piste and pressed the strips I'd torn). I worked myself to a standstill but I got the quilt finished, wrapped and in the post in the nick of time - thanks to you. Have a wonderful Christmas and a very very happy new year!
THANK YOU! This is the only part of the quilt making process that I struggle with. I have a different way of making the pocket, but yours is easier and cleaner. This is my new way. 😊🎉
👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed & fun 🤩 day for you Pamela?
Perfect timing for me-I have a quilt to bind! I have bound quite a few quilts, but you have shown me a couple of new skills that I will try this time. I will definitely rip my fabric, and I think the way you join the binding as you are finished sewing it to your quilt is genius! Can’t wait to try it! Thanks for your videos; I always find something new to try.
What an excellent idea finishing the quilt that way
Thanks for sharing!
Love this method of joining the binding at the end! I'm going to do that with my latest wallhanging. Thank you, Megan!
👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed day for you Priscilla?
Thanks for another great video! I’ve torn my binding strips forever -but never admitted it publicly. It not only gives a reliable straight if grain strip, but I find it much faster, and I really like the sound of ripping fabric. I’ve never seen the join done quite like you demonstrated. I will definitely try it. And I love your Halloween quilt!
Lol. Never admitted it publicly. Afraid of the quilt police, eh? I know we all are to some degree. Committing our little quilt "crimes" in the privacy of our sewing sanctuaries. I wonder why we are so afraid of the quilt police? I also like the sound of ripping fabric, especially when I am doing it. It is very satisfying.
Yes , I don’t tell anyone but I tear when I want a straight edge
You also can pull a thread to get a straight line. Ripping is a much faster method.
Love your tutorials girl !!!
I missed your videos. Glad to see you back. You always have such informative videos. This is am awesome idea, again.
Thanks!
Thank you, I always have trouble with my binding. Sometimes it looks good and other times not so much.
I sure am excited to try this technique out...
👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed day for you Jeanette?
Thank you!!!
I haven’t tried the ripping method but definitely will. Thank you!
Wow, this is going to save some time. Thank you.
Wow; lots of great tips, thank you.
Thank you! Excellent tutorial.
I don’t rip fabric because it stretches and curls the edge. You can also get perpendicular pulls of threads into your fabric. If you fold your fabric in half lengthwise, let it hang down, and adjust the cut edges back and forth until everything hangs smooth, you will be able to cut fabric strips that make binding that is straight and won’t twist.
I will definitely try this, never seen this technique before
👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed day for you Sherri?
I really enjoy your quilting info! Thank you. Claudia in NC
You have revived teaching an old fashion method of sewing a binding on .... this was a way binding was sewn on prior to the advent of TV quilting shows ( Fons and Porter, Kaye Woods, Georgia Bonesteel etc.) They had started the trend of sewn connections instead of tuck ins. BTW I have ripped fabric forever to get straight of grain.
Come back soon, I miss you
thank you so much
Thank you
Great way to do binding. Will have to try ripping the fabric! Love your orange backing! Is that from a current line of fabric?
Hi I love this tutorial I have tried ripping fabric before with horrible results but also trying to cut straight has also been not so good.
Know I understand the method better thank you 🥰
👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed day for you Sharon?
Brilliant…
Thanks for the ripping tip. I have never tried it. Any idea how ripping works out on starched yardage?
❤️
Miss you Megan! Hope you are well.
Are you using 1/4 inch seam allowance when first sewing folded binding on?
In order to get perfectly on grain fabric I may have been known to pull a thread with a pin all the way across, gentle press any creases out and then cut along the line left by the thread with scissors. I can be persnickety 😂 I also wash my fabric as soon as I get it due to allergies and sensitivities to the chemicals used to finish fabrics. How lucky you were your stripes were printed on grain. Sadly I have found often printed patterns are off grain. Your quilt is so lovely for Halloween/Samhain!
I've done the pull the thread on looser weave garment fabrics but I've never had luck doing it with quilting cotton. I've also had prints but really off grain before which is such a bummer! This was riley blake stripes and I've had pretty good luck with it.
Love the pattern! Can you tell me the pattern?
Its a wonky log cabin--no particular pattern. I made all the blocks and then trimmed them all down to 12 1/2" so they would sew together nicely. I don't think I've ever done a video on a wonky log cabin but I'm sure someone has. Its my favorite way to use up strip scraps!
I have never had success with ripping fabric and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
It definitely takes some practice and grip strength! But if it isn't for you, thats ok too! :)
I hope all is good with you. You are not your bubbly self. It's just one of those worried mom things. Keep smiling.
Well, I was enjoying the video--until the mid-roll ad. TH-cam changed a setting several weeks ago, and these mid-roll ads are just killing my enjoyment. Wrote this comment and bailed on the video.
You lost me at not ironing the binding strips :/
Thanks!
