Hello Vanessa, I am 69 years old and have sewn all of my life. I recently retired and starting watching a lot of tutorials to help me learn new techniques. I wanted to tell you that you are the best instructor I have ever watched. You do a great job of explaining what you are doing. Keep up the great work.
One of the best tutorials I've seen on attaching binding tape. I've watched a lot of videos on how to attach the ends and were never clear on how to do it. Your video was extremely clear and informative. I finally feel like I can attach the ends of binding tape using your method. Your videos are very informative and easy to understand. They contain so many helpful tips. Thank you.
Very good tutorial without a lot of annoying music. Just straight forward and to the point. A lot of TH-camrs could learn a thing or two from you! Loved the tutorial. Will be making this later today. Thank You!
Just found this tutorial. .The camera work and close ups of the work is amazing and really helped me to see exactly what needs to be done. Great job and thank you for such a great tutorial and wonderful gift idea.
I have made 9 of these. And have a few more to go. The walking foot is a big helper. And cutting the binding on the biasis is a blessing. The more you quilt the lengthwise and the hands the happier you will be. These are Christmas gifts and i am so happy. I have used Insulbrite and cotton batting. Thank You Vanessa.
I made this today and getting ready to do needle work for binding. I will admit that even with the walking foot I did have some difficulty keeping fabric even, I changed to my Teflon presser foot with better success, didn’t have any problems with thickness as I have a heavy duty machine. Thank you for the tutorial and pattern 😊
I don't know how many binding tutorials I've watched. Your's made the most sense and it was like a light bulb going off! Yay! Thanks for the great tutorial. I've made 3 so far and only about a lot more to go lol!
Nice, I enjoyed the video and learned a lot.Have never been a stitcher but I inherited my moms sewing machine and by watching videos I surprised myself and have made a lot of different things for people.I enjoy sewing now.🙂
Thank you for a great Tutorial. I made one with my old scraps of material and it came out fantastic, I also did a little quilting on the front. Received some great comments from family and friends. My son asked me to make one and it is a lovely gift idea and a friend has asked for one as well. Nice Christmas present. I will never buy Bias Binding again now that I know how to make my own thank you so much for sharing.
Hi Vanessa... you are a genius.Measuring the tail an additional length of the width of the binding; 2", 2-1/2" measuring and cutting. I'm in love. Thank you.
Best tutorial ever. Everything was done easy and in layman‘s terms so that we beginners can understand perfectly no missteps. I’m going to subscribe to this so I don’t miss any more of her tutorials. Perfect perfect perfect and I can’t wait to make these for Christmas gifts
Hi Vanessa. I'm really enjoying watching your tutorials, even though I've been sewing for fifty years! Guess you really can teach an old dog new tricks. Thank you for this great Christmas gift idea. Can't wait to get started!
Made two now, one with glue and one without, ( could not wait till glue turned up in the post ) must admit the glue although quite tricky to get the hang of, was the better of the two, love watching your channel, learning so much thank you
OMG I love you girl!! I love all your tutorials!! I appreciated the glue trick!! I've struggled with putting binding on anything and thanks for bias binding lesson!! I have 5 quilts and 6 wall hangings waiting to finish hand sewing the bindings!! I'm going to go buy the glue and finish those bindings!! GREAT job speaking and explaining each step clearly and slowly!!
Thank you for explaining so clearly and concisely the details of the binding and the mitt as a whole. I really enjoy and learn from your videos, thank you again!!
thanks Vanessa! You cut the binding differently - but I like it your way better!. Also, I wish I had seen this video 3 days ago (I was in hospital) as I just finished mum's double oven mitt. Mine worked ok, but your is so much better, and simpler. I will remember for future- thanks you are so easy to follow! Cheers
Thank you, a very informative tutorial and I’m looking forward to making it. Also making the bias binding instructions and finishing it off at the end of the project will be helpful for any of my future crafts that need it. Thank you.
I have rewind this time and time again, best ever description and details would love to see a bit more of the backside of the binding stitching I can never get it lookinfg really good and even. Have made 3 on the roll since first coming across this. Thanks
Really enjoyed this you do an excellent job I just starting sewing in the past 2 years and do everything basically by trial and error I think I know what I’m giving this year for Christmas Thanks Cathy
That bias binding finish! The entire video was worth it for that one tip! I made a jacket that used bias tape finished edges, but I couldn't figure out how to end it nicely.
If you are interested, there was a new video put out not too long ago that had a super easy way to finish that binding. Because the way she’s doing it is actually very difficult it’s awkward and the new way is unbelievably easy
Hi Vanessa, I keep watching ur videos it's really easy to learn from u. I'm new to stitching is so much fun. thanks for the few tips u shared in this video. can't wait to stitch this project.
I'm so glad I decided to watch your video after watching another one because they didn't tell us how to cut the strips on the bias they just told us that we needed to do it. What a great method you showed us thank you so much!
Hi Vanessa. I have try to the make the double oven mitts. I was use the walking foot and that don’t work and thought to iron but it never work for me. Any hint to make one???? Thank just love the videos. 😊
Hi, thank you for another fun project. I have learned a lot from your videos especially the way you ended the binding. Wow, why didn't I think of that?! Now I have to abandon the way my mom taught me many, many years ago :-) Very fun project. Thank you
I cannot seem to find the written information as to how much fabric, etc. we need to use to make this double oven mitt. Help!! Thank you, love your tutorials!!
You definitely have a gift for making everything look so easy for us less talented ones!! :p thanks for your tutorials, I love them!! By far my favorites!! :) Hope you and your family have an awesome Christmas. (I miss seeing your kids! Bet they are getting big!!) :)
I enjoy your tutorials.. I am going to try this one. I do have one question. You mentioned a walker foot. Did you use the walker foot to sew your bias tape? I am not an expert, so not really sure what it looks like.
Hi Vanessa, I used your most recent publishing for the potholders and made some great quick gifts this year. I like this one as well. Does the Poly therm fleece described here have greater insulated value than an insulated batting that is used in the potholders? I can order some but don't have any of the poly therm on hand, so I was curious. Wonderful tutorials all around!
Great gift idea execially making the mit and square potholders. Can you do a tutorial on how to custom make acasserole cover to custom fit any dish we have. I love the ide of customized fabric...dee
+DeeLightful Co it really is a great gift idea!! That is a wonderful idea, and I will be sure to keep that in mind in my brainstorming!! Thanks so much for the suggestion :)
I was unable to get my sandwich sewn together without distortion, pulled it out 5 or 6 times. I may have to quilt first to prevent movement. Your work is flawless. Mine is not neat enough yet. Newbie.
For the long outside piece, using batting tape, could I cut a piece of InsulBrite big enough for the for hand portion and then join with a piece of regular batting for the long center portion to save money on buying all that extra InsulBrite since your hands only go in the end mitt parts? I would also cut one long piece of regular batting for the outside portion that your hands isn't touching. Does that make sense?
Vanessa you are wonderful!, You have such great videos. I have had success with all of them. I have made 3 of these for gifts and love the tips on binding. I always got confused. You made it so easy. Is that 18 in square good for all binding or for this project? I even got the connection on binding perfect with no excess. Thanks. Have a happy holiday
Doesn’t look like you use a walking foot. I tried to make this using my walking foot and it was a disaster. Even with pinning, clipping and using safety pins, I had major shifting. What am I doing wrong?
I also use the glue. Be careful if you are going to hand stitch, the glue dries hard, when using the iron, and is difficult to hand sew. I love this technique and your channel!
+Crafty Gemini Creates Where do you get the glue? I bought some but it doesn't have the long piece on the cap,. Haven't used it yet so don't know if that will make a difference.
Question, are we to continue using the 3.5 stitch length? Or just for the basting? And, you can always quilt the rectangles instead of basting, which will accomplish the same thing, but make it look much nicer
Happy Thanksgiving Vanessa. I love this video but I was wondering, can you do some quilting to this oven mitt? Thanks and looking forward to the next video.
+chris jones Happy Thanksgiving to you too! :) You most definitely could do some quilting on it. You would just need to do it before you actually put the backing and pockets on it :)

ممن يتكون القفاز من ماذا صنعته ارجوك جاوبني انا لاافهم الاانكليزيه ولااعرف ماذا وضعت داخل القمااش
What she put in the middle is called "cotton batting" you can order from ebay or amazon. I hope you like xx
Great video. Camera work is excellent. Instructions and explanations are spoken clearly. The usage of the wonder clips are very helpful. Thanks again.
Every time I do binding I have to watch this video. I don’t know why I don’t retain this info, but it turns out perfect every time! Thank you🙂

@dcwatashi true. I find the way she did binding did not work for me. Had to pull it all out
Awesome tutorial Vanessa...I'm rewatching the parts I found difficult. Yes, pin like the wind because it shifts

Awesome tutorial! You are a fantastic instructor! (And a 10+ to your camera person!)
Learned something new. Love the way that you cut the binding strips.
I'm so glad I decided to watch your video after watching another one because they didn't tell us how to cut the strips on the bias they just told us that we needed to do it. What a great method you showed us thank you so much!

Excellent thanks for this, I need to make some new ones at this now seems really achievable.
Love watching your tutorials! You do a great job and make it look so easy peasy! Thanks!
You are so organized and well prepared-thank you! 💕😍💕
Hey Vanessa!
Great project. I will be cranking some of these out for the holidays for sure!

The best tutorial! Thank you.
Thank you for this tutorial and we got the addition tips for binding! My friends and I use glue too!
Question, are we to continue using the 3.5 stitch length? Or just for the basting?
And, you can always quilt the rectangles instead of basting, which will accomplish the same thing, but make it look much nicer
Vanessa, what machine do you use, it seems to go through the bulk with no problems and no walking foot!
+holoannk I use the Baby Lock Katherine! I absolutely love it!!! So wonderful for all of those layers of fabric :)
Love this tutorial but cannot find fabric. Does it still exist? Would love to find it as it would be perfect for my project.
Were is the template for the mitt? I can’t find it at the bottom anywhere. Love these! Thank you!
Such a great tutorial with so many examples thank you!!
Thanks so much for the very professional tutorial!
Happy Thanksgiving Vanessa. I love this video but I was wondering, can you do some quilting to this oven mitt? Thanks and looking forward to the next video.
+chris jones Happy Thanksgiving to you too! :) You most definitely could do some quilting on it. You would just need to do it before you actually put the backing and pockets on it :)
I LOVE your tutorials! What kind of machine do you have there?
