You are great. You teach very well and make it easier to learn. I also love that you show your mistakes. It makes me feel less useless and more normal. Thank you for the lessons.

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 ...

😊😊❤❤ 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. 😊😊

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

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!

[georgiemcdougle]

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

[leanichols]

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.

I have always struggled with binding. I tried your 3” binding on my last one and it was wonderful. Thank you!

[debragerum]

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.

[bevcote]

Thank you. I love hearing you talk. I always learn new tips and tricks from you. Blessings.

[victoriawebster]

Excellent videos. I’m a new fan!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[dellasimmelink]

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!

[andreagraham]

Thank you for this tutorial. I think they are both wonderful, however, the second one makes more sense to my brain. Great ideas!!

[rachelsmith]

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.

[Scrappyendings]

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

[margaretbecker]

Thank you! Love both options! Will let you know how I do!!

[robinsquiltbasket]

Thank you Kristen for this tutorial. I am definitely going to try it now.

[KimN]

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!!

[sandralombardini]

great tutorial, thank you. I would like to sew faux flange piping on the current quilt I am working on

[barbaramatthews]

Please ignore the criticism. You're videos are very helpful. You are awesome.
