Hi!! I'm new to your channel and new to quilting ... but I am an old lady ... late to the game ... I think you're wonderful and enjoy your videos ... thanks for sharing your talents ...
Not sure how old you are, but I will be 68 this year. I began sewing 4 years ago, deciding to only hand sew. I have made two reversible queen sized photo memory quilts of irregular blocks to fit in with my theme. I took two years with the first and I’ve just this week completed the second one having taken 20 months. I also sewed and quilted two minkie blankets in between. I have learned so much from this channel. I have two more quilts to go. Also story photo quilts. Hopefully I will do it in a shorter time. We are never too old.
@@loisoleary2368 I know that feeling. One blink and my body told me I’m old. Having said that, in 2016 at 60 years of age I had a total knee replacement and my husband at 66 had a total hip replacement. Two years later we both did the Camino de Santiago and walked the 800 kilometres from France across Spain. We are never too old to enjoy the things we do.
My pressing technique is hot dry iron (old Black and Decker) spray water if needed. 😊 I love hand stitching my binding.to the back. I will be trying the second method with the twist of attaching the second on the front so I can still stitch on the back. Looks amazing. Thanks
Thanks for showing both ways to make the faux piping/flange. I hope to try it on a wall hanging I have planned. Always a pleasure watching your videos.
Thank you Kristen!! I enjoyed this tutorial and am happy that it is much easier and less complicated than I would have thought. I can't wait to try this. I'll have to make some mug rugs to practice on. This was a great tutorial.
😊😊❤❤ You did a great job on making flange so much easier. Thanks so much. 😊😊 I will be doing this very soon. I kinda like the 2nd way a little better. Thanks again for your patience in showing and telling us in detail how to do this. 😊😊
I might be trying the 2nd option, two separate pieces, next. That one seems a bit easier for me since I won't have to sew a very long stitch to get the two pieces together.
Thank you for explaining everything in so much detail. Truly some of us newbies need it. Thank you. I also really like the wild mint flatter ironing spray. I was a best presser but I think I've been converted to flatter brand. Love your video. Thank you!
Know we love your personality and how you teach. Visual learning takes a little more time but is very helpful learning tool. Ignore the naysayers. I'm trying to decide which project I can try the faux flange binding on.. I'll find one!!
I love Flatter. Use it all the time. I really like this faux piping. You make it look easy. I will be trying it on my next binding project. Thanks for a great tutorial.
Good morning, I think I like the second technique. It really seems really easy to do. I have two extra blocks that I will definitely practice on so I can actually do it on a larger quilt. You, as always, have a great way of explaining and teaching new techniques, espy for a beginner.
Do you have a video on How to close the binding . I do it 2 ways but would love to see if there are other ways . Oh & I miter & stagger all my joins. Love the Faux piping binding ❤
I use one of those specialty 'spray bottles' with water however I do use flatter when water isn't appropriate. I do not starch. Also I highly recommend 'Soak' from the same company for your bras/lingerie. No need to rinse, gentle on delicate fabrics and the scents are heavenly.
I pour Best Press from the gallon jug into a tiny 3 ounce spray bottle and use it ONLY on seams. I am trying to be frugal and use it only where it can do the most good.
I mix best press with water. It was an inadvertent error the first time because I had water in my spray bottle already. So I mix two thirds of a bottle of best press with one third water and it works fine.
I've even heard of some people mixing half and half with water. I haven't done it myself but I suppose it would depend what your project is - just flatter straight seams may be okay, but I'm not sure how diluted you would want to go with bias edges, for example.
Borders for the quilt? It is the same as putting on 1 border. You just keep adding fabric around your design. I do not have a video with mitered corners for borders yet though. Just squared off borders is what I usually do for my own quilts
Girlfriend I love your page first off but I think what you're doing is called flange, I see them on homemade pillow cases... You're awesome since you love pink colors... Have a great day, tootles...🤗
Sorry you felt that way, but thank you for watching anyways. I really wanted people to understand the whole process, and teach it the best way I know how.
@@ISeeStarsQuilting Shorter?.... really? I LOVE her videos,...the more information/detail, the better - in my opinion! You can always put Settings on 2X speed and get through it a bit quicker if needed...
Sweetie, one of the charms of her channel is her gift of gab and her outgoing personality. I have often thought about this with other channels and then I remember 2 years ago just starting out and needed detailed instructions. Be happy that you don't need them anymore, and kindly resist the urge to complain to someone who is doing a great job doing what most of us cannot...TEACH.
This is wonderful, I usually pay someone to do my binding, but I'm going to try these techniques!

Me too I prefer the hand sewn look rather than extra line of stitching
I look forward to hearing how it goes.
I have quilted for a long time but have not seen this kind of binding and I just love it. Can't wait to try it out
YAY! That makes me so happy.
Great video, Kristen! I can't wait to try it on my next project!
Yay! Thank you!
I have always struggled with binding. I tried your 3” binding on my last one and it was wonderful. Thank you!
YAY! I am so happy to hear that. 😍🥰
Thanks for showing both ways to make the faux piping/flange. I hope to try it on a wall hanging I have planned. Always a pleasure watching your videos.

I can't wait to hear how you like it.
Fine by me, what you would like to call it! I'll watch it anyways! Lol! It looks great! I have never done this technique before...will give it a try!
I really enjoy your tutorials Kristen, thank you, l was hoping you might be able to show us how to join your ends when finished
I will make note of that for another video.
Thank you for this tutorial. I think they are both wonderful, however, the second one makes more sense to my brain. Great ideas!!
I am so glad!!!
I use a Singer iron and Best Press for seams. It's ok, it works well. I finally started that braid quilt. It is coming out really nice.
😊😊❤❤ You did a great job on making flange so much easier. Thanks so much. 😊😊 I will be doing this very soon. I kinda like the 2nd way a little better. Thanks again for your patience in showing and telling us in detail how to do this. 😊😊

Thanks! I am going to use this for my next quilt.
Thank you so much, Barbara! 🥰🥰

Thank you Kristen. It’s like sewing with a friend.

Sounds great! Go for it.

Thanks Kristen for always being there for us
That is so sweet! Thank you!
I like to use Best Press and my cordless iron! Especially when working with binding.
I love Flatter. Use it all the time. I really like this faux piping. You make it look easy. I will be trying it on my next binding project. Thanks for a great tutorial.
You are so welcome, I am glad you love it as well. 🤩

Ohh Christen, amazing! My favorite is the second one, but both are great! ❤ And I love Best Press.

Not yet!

I like Flatter spray better than Best press😊
My local Menards has Best Press for $4.99
Do you have a video putting on two borders? Is it the same?

The faux flange usually gets extra points in quilt shows. I'm not sure

This could've been a much shorter video. You made it very long by talking more than necessary.
Ma'am your rude comment was unnecessary. Hope you have a better evening.
Sorry you felt that way, but thank you for watching anyways. I really wanted people to understand the whole process, and teach it the best way I know how.
I loved the video and I need all the explanations. You do you!
