I’ve watched “binding”by everyone on the tube and you are the first one that does it where I can understand how to end it correctly. Thanks for your tips and tricks. Even an old lady like me can learn new things. God Bless
The same is true for me. I only hope that same day I will not have to rewatch the video every time I am ready to join the ends of the binding. Until then, I watch that part again.
This was my first time watching a video with Natalie and I have to say she is definitely my favourite. She has a way of confidently explaining the process and doesn’t rush through any steps. Thank you
I return to this Video time and again to remind myself about how to do flange binding. This method, via this tutorial with Natalie, has made all the difference in my skill when it comes to finishing my quilts. Thank you for this particular lesson!😊
Doing a flange binding or even regular bindings on small projects like mug rugs, placemats, or hot pads is a great way to practice the skills Natalie is sharing. Thanks for another great video!
I have done this with potholders, and getting the last bit of binding sewn to the beginning bit is actually a little harder than it is on a larger piece - just a heads up... (especially with potholder batting often being stiffer than "normal" quilt batting and usually a tighter/more dense quilt pattern).
Love your no- nonsense method of teaching and explaining things simply and without drama. By that I mean the way some quilters/sewers caution too much that this or that can happen and it sounds catastrophic. You give scenarios of things that could go wrong, but it's very serene and you let us know some things don't matter, or that it's fixable. Most of us watching all these quilting videos are new to sewing, rusty, still learning or insecure about our sewing. It helps when the teacher is more matter-of- fact than cautious. Thank you.
Thank you so much Natalie -- I've been quilting for years and years but have always hand finished the binding on the back. After all those years, my hands have gotten pretty gnarly with arthritis, but 100% machine binding has always resulted in an ugly mess. This tutorial has made the rest of my quilting life so much easier and rewarding. Thank you again!
Love The Final Stitch. And Natalie I so enjoy how you teach--no pressure, just sweet and gentle. You're my favorite of "the trio", but Misty and Jenny are great too.
The best design advice I ever got was, "blend, don't match". It works in all creative sewing endeavors...fabric, thread, etc. Thanks for the great video.
Grest advice. I probably learned in a quilting class years ago to lay the thread on the fabric as Natalie showed vs the spool. Now I work at a big box store and show the thread on the fabric to customers when they are torn on thread color.
Thank you for the motivation to finish up a king size quilt that I have had laying around for 2 years. I saw your tutorial on the flange binding, and I knew that is what I wanted to do on this quilt. I finished it up today, and it is beautiful. I have had a love/hate relationship with this quilt for a very long time. I now love it!!
Miss Natalie. Thank You Thank You for sharing this technique. I absolutely Love watching you Mother and her tutorials. You are fantastic. Love watching you
I've used school glue but the Apple glue has a narrow tip which seems to control the amount of glue better. The first time I did the flange binding I never went back. It looks so elegant and compliments the quilt. Watching a tutorial refreshes my brain cells to understand the procedure needed to get the job done. Thanks so much for sharing your method.
Natalie, that is the most informative demo I've seen on binding, (which I have always despised and always done by hand). The flange is beautiful. The Appliglue is something I've never heard of but am going to track down. Also, I finally understand how to join the binding ends. I think my hand binding days may be at an end. Great video, thank you!
This video has been so helpful. Never heard of flange binding and also the finishing of binding has left me depressed so many times. Thank you for your wonderful help,Natalie
Natalie, I love all your final stitch tutorials. This one stands out. I was (glued) 😂 to your helping us understand how to accomplish the finishing of our quilts. U r amazing 🤩!
Thank you Natalie....somehow your explanation of mitering the binding strip FINALLY made sense and I got it! It was important that you had the full plus - not joined edges to begin with. Overlapping. I love that you are so patient and peaceful.
This video is probably the best I have seen and will make my joining the ends of the binding. This is where I struggle on binding. I also love the ease of having the flange as a guide. I have been attaching my binding to the back first since I started quilting. I just makes more sense to me. Thank you for the great tips.
Natalie, you're a treasure. In your hands everything seems easier. Theese little tips are priceless. Thank you for being such a good teacher. MSQC is my favourite site. And store.
I watched your video 3 times and then did my binding. I finished it just like you did and it worked! That was an hallelujah moment! Thank you for your wonderful videos!!!
What a wonderful video tutorial! Thank you for the tip on this product called ‘Appli-glue’ I can’t wait to get some. Also the flange binding is definitely extra special and adds to the quilt, like a pro! 🌟👏🏻
Oh my gosh Natalie, I have watched this video so many times. When I watch I get my binding perfect, if I think ....ok I got this... and don't watch, I mess up. Thank you again for this video that helps me do my binding correctly. ( matching the ends)
I am new. I watched a video long ago that showed bias binding joining. The lady had a little piece of paper that looked liked a pair of jeans. She laid the legs at the places where the cloth crosses. She said, sew the waist, not the crotch. Honesty, I say this to myself everything.
This was a fantastic video. I do not care for hand binding and this was a very informative video. Never thought of trying a flange binding but will definitely try this method
Great visual description of joining the binding, I ripped my diagonal seam out a few times yesterday as the binding was twisted once I stitched it together. I was sat at the machine with my block magazine trying to figure it out. Seeing it on video makes it much clearer. Thank you.
The best, easiest way to bind. Natalie, you are so calm and straight forward with all your instructions and tips. This is now my go to binding tutorial ! Thanks
You two make me smile.😁 Thank you for your honesty about not being perfect : Also for reassuring me that my quilt doesn't have to be perfect. I like that "Smile more.. Stress less."! I have to remind myself that I quilt for enjoyment not perfection.. Thank you ladies for another wonderful video!!!! Also thank you for sharing that hot tip about that appli-glue trick and ironing. It is difficult for me to hand sew on the binding I prefer to sew on the machine, but even that pulling and tugging wears out my hands and fingers (arthritis). I'm trying that glue trick. Natalie and Liz I just love the way you all teach!!! Thanks for these videos!! Bless you both!!
I loved the explanation of how to join the ends. I have always struggled and fought this part. How you do it makes perfect sense to me now. Thank you 😊
Great video, Natalie. Many good tips. I’ve been gluing my fold over ever since Sharon Schamber showed it when she won the big prize at International Quilt Festival years ago. One additional thing I do is sew the binding on an untrimmed quilt. I can then trim EXACTLY the distance I want from the seam line. Then I fold and glue and stitch. On the flanged binding, I often use pieces already cut at 2” (one of the sizes in my scrap stash). I sew them and fold the flange in, then trim the whole long strip to 1” or 1.25” before sewing on.
Melanezoe, This is a great idea. When there is no border on the quilt I don't want the binding to overlap points along the edge (e.g., stars or triangles). I have been thinking of trimming wider than the quilt so binding comes to front without overlapping those points., but is hard to know how much batting/backing to leave. Your idea to sew the binding FIRST, then trim the batt/back is perfect. Thanks.
@@jillbennett8334 glad it is useful, Jill. After it’s sewn on, I fold the binding in half to see how wide it really will be. That’s the amount I trim to. Usually between 1/4” and 3/8”.
Oh Natalie.... THANK YOU sooooo much for showing this... especially the glue! I usually have a million wonder clips and feel like I am wrestling with my quilt and I think that is why a LOT of people hate binding... Brilliant!!
So many “aha” moments watching this video! I have never done traditional binding - only the cheater binding where I fold the backing over to create the binded edge. With these tips, I’m going to try “real” binding now! Thank you!
Natalie this is the easiest tutorial for a flanged binding I have seen. The way you used the piece you cut off as the measurement for cutting the bInding to join at the end was super easy and helpful. Joining the ends of the binding has always been confusing when I watch tutorials. Yours was amazingly straightforward. Thank you for this tutorial. Merry Christmas to you and everyone at MSQC!!
One of the best videos yet Natalie. Thank you for sharing this tip on the binding. I seem to always struggle with finishing my bindings. Your new technique looks much easier taking the guess work out of it. I truly love the idea of adding the flange binding. What a way to dress up your quilts!
Natalie every time I watch one of your videos I think I couldn't enjoy them more. Then I come across another great tip. I've been sewing for more than 50 years and still learning lots. Thank you.
I really enjoy your "no big deal...just get it done" attitude. I sew charity quilts for Project Linus and have to tell myself all the time that "done is better than perfect" or complicated. I save the try to be close to perfect for quilts for me because I can. Love this flange idea... a lot. It adds that little extra touch of special. Thanks Nat. Happy Holidays.
Per Jenny "Finished is better than perfect." Quote is on lots of notions you can get from MSQC...I have a magnet and bookmark with the quote. Happy quilting!
I have made a dozen or so quilts and I have tried every method possible for joining the ends of the binding. I just used your method and it is the first one that it came out perfect the first time! Thank you Natalie!
I’ve watched “binding”by everyone on the tube and you are the first one that does it where I can understand how to end it correctly. Thanks for your tips and tricks. Even an old lady like me can learn new things. God Bless
I totally agree!!! Even this old lady finally ended a binding on the first try - yaaaaaaa
Ditto. Excellent explanations.
It
And they all do it so darn fast. I like the way MSQC folks do it Slow enough, and explain, so we can actually follow it, let alone remember it!!
The same is true for me. I only hope that same day I will not have to rewatch the video every time I am ready to join the ends of the binding. Until then, I watch that part again.
"Stress less, smile more" .... best advice EVER! Really enjoyed this lesson.
This was my first time watching a video with Natalie and I have to say she is definitely my favourite. She has a way of confidently explaining the process and doesn’t rush through any steps. Thank you
Yes, Natalie brightens my day.
Natalie, Thanks for giving us that “light bulb moment” on bindings! Amazing! You make beginners feel like they can do anything!!!
Thank very much really enjoy!
H
I love Natalie’s videos. She’s my favorite.
I never knew the flanged binding was so simple, thank you Natalie!
Thank you for showing me how to finish the binding. You make it so easy. I went step by step and paused the video while doing what you had done.
I return to this
Video time and again to remind myself about how to do flange binding. This method, via this tutorial with Natalie, has made all the difference in my skill when it comes to finishing my quilts. Thank you for this particular lesson!😊
Love the way YOU teach. Your voice is easy to listen to and you do it with NO stress ! Thank you !
Thank you for repeatedly saying, “If it doesn’t come out exact, it’s okay!”😍
Natalie, it's a pleasure to watch your tutorials. Keep them coming 🙂
Yes!! Loving these tutorials!
Natalie is such a great teacher. It is super obvious during triple play, that Natalie is wicked smart. Good for us!!
Doing a flange binding or even regular bindings on small projects like mug rugs, placemats, or hot pads is a great way to practice the skills Natalie is sharing. Thanks for another great video!
A great idea! Thanks for the tip.
That’s is a great idea! Maybe I’ll do a doll quilt before I try to finish my Granddaughter’s quilt. Brilliant!
I have done this with potholders, and getting the last bit of binding sewn to the beginning bit is actually a little harder than it is on a larger piece - just a heads up... (especially with potholder batting often being stiffer than "normal" quilt batting and usually a tighter/more dense quilt pattern).
Good idea, practice!
Natalie, I really like this flange idea. Have you done this on big quilts and still sewed by machine?
Love your no- nonsense method of teaching and explaining things simply and without drama. By that I mean the way some quilters/sewers caution too much that this or that can happen and it sounds catastrophic.

So glad your back
That iron though... amazing!
Love The Final Stitch. And Natalie I so enjoy how you teach--no pressure, just sweet and gentle. You're my favorite of "the trio", but Misty and Jenny are great too.
I enjoy all the videos but sometimes I find Misty just a little too scattered for my taste. But that’s just my way of learning.
I love them all too. But Natalie is my favorite.
Hi Natalie very good tutorial. I cannot wait to try the flange on my next quilt
Thank you, Natalie, for showing how to do a beautiful flanged binding. That was very helpful video. The glue was a wonderful tip! Thanks so much!
Love your tutorials Natalie. We need more from you. They are precise, but easy to understand. Thank you!
Natalie, I love your videos!

Love the flange
Miss Natalie. Thank You Thank You for sharing this technique. I absolutely Love watching you Mother and her tutorials. You are fantastic. Love watching you
Great job. Love watching you. I forget to make it fun and you remind me to make it so.
Natalie, I like that you get to do these final stitch videos because you can take the time to show more details. : )
I love this flange binding. Thank you, Natalie. I have bound over 50 quilts and watched lots of videos, and this was the best one yet.
Really enjoyed this class with Natalie. Made it look so easy. Thank you Natalie!

This is the best demonstration to connect the binding ends. I could never get it--now I do!!! thank you Natalie!
Once again, your an amazing teacher. This Old lady understands when you teach.
Thank you Natalie, it's the very first time I haven't messed up my binding. 😊 I love your program ❤

I am really enjoying your tutorials! You are a wonderful teacher.
Joining bindings is difficult for me. I always get it turned the wrong way. I’ll try your tips. You’re a good teacher, Natalie.

I sewed my first flange binding today.I must have rewatched the video 4 times to get it just right. Thanks so much Natalie. My quilt looks wonderful.
Great visual description of joining the binding, I ripped my diagonal seam out a few times yesterday as the binding was twisted once I stitched it together. I was sat at the machine with my block magazine trying to figure it out. Seeing it on video makes it much clearer. Thank you.
Well, I'm doing another binding and here I am watching your videos again a year later. Thank you for these videos that focus on the quilting process.
Natalie love these tips, especially the glue idea. I will be doing more bindings this way. Thank you
Natalie, you are brilliant!!! Never thought to use glue on the binding to line seams up, you have made my quilting life easier. Thank you. :):)
The best, easiest way to bind. Natalie, you are so calm and straight forward with all your instructions and tips. This is now my go to binding tutorial ! Thanks
Wow, what a great idea! Thank you Natalie 😊

Appliqué glue! Amazing and I really enjoyed your tutorial and your calming voice. You have done your Moma proud!
Natalie every time I watch one of your videos I think I couldn't enjoy them more. Then I come across another great tip. I've been sewing for more than 50 years and still learning lots. Thank you.
Wish I could give this a ❤️ instead of a 👍. Great advice and I love the complicated look of the flange.

Awesome episode Natalie. You're instructions are spot on!! I will definitely be doing the flange. Thanks.
The glue trick is fantastic! Thanks Natalie! your videos are a huge help, no matter how long you've been sewing!
Just put on a binding using your instructions. Worked perfectly. Thank you.
I just got back two quilts from the quilter and have to do the binding... this tutorial was spot on. TFS
Joining the binding at the end was my biggest problem, thank you for showing me how to do it ! TY TY
Hi and thanks a lot! You work and explain really well! 🌸🌸
