Your tutorial and filming was very well done. Thank you!

[maryloubath]

Your dialogue instructions are the best I’ve heard. I’ve added a bookmark so I don’t lose the videos. Thanks

[AccentEmbroidering]

Excellent!! Very thorough, yet concise and professional. Thank you.

[fayemcloughlin]

The best instructions I have ever seen. Thank you

A woman after my own heart. I have been quilting for two-three years and am as meticulous as possible. I love that I learned even a little tidbit from you that can help me. The pressed corners prior to the second stage of attaching the binding down is a new tip for me. I have subscribed.

I tried the binding technique with a glue stick and an iron. It was so much easier to manage at the sewing machine. I need to find the precision tip Elmer’s glue because the appliqué stick glue I used didn’t hold in some areas for some reason. Once I sewed the binding to the back and flipped it to the front, I did a decorative stitch all the way around and I loved the way it turned out. Thanks for all the wonderful tip and techniques!

This is the best binding video I have found! I am a YouTube self learner too. Thank you so much for such clear instructions 😊

[wilycat]

Excellent binding tutorial. Thanks for the video 😊

[NatalieMoore-cfzt]

Great tips! Thank you for sharing your ideas. You are giving me confidence!

[margaretderen]

I not one to jump on the “you need this ruler” bandwagon, but my gosh, that Easy Angle ruler is a GAME CHANGER!!! What a time saver. Thank you so much for recommending it.

I almost scrolled past this video b/c I don't have much trouble with bindings. I am so glad that I took the time to watch though. I usually attach bindings to the front and hand stitch to the back mainly because I haven't been able to successfully do it to my standards by machine. I really like cutting the 45 degree angles before stitching the strips together. I also appreciate how clearly you showed how to join the binding ends together specifically how to keep them from twisting. I hate it when that happens...even once is too much! I can clearly see how much the glue basting and pressing helps❣️ Thank you so much for your time. I will be watching more of your tutorials.

So far binding has been one of my favorite quilting steps, but always looking for ways to make it even easier. I already iron the binding before applying, iron it after it's stitched onto the back, but now I want to try glue basting and the unique way you do the corners. Almost ready to finish quilt #4, so it's perfect timing; thanks again for your brilliant teaching!

[Pip-pxwq]

Great information thank you. I’m especially grateful to you for doing the whole tutorial without any music as it is so annoying when people do that 😃

[MarianneFecko]

Very helpful! I wish I had discovered this instructional video four quilts ago!

[ellenpalmer]

Nice clear/concise explanations/instructions.. also, you have a pleasing voice. 🙂. Thank you

[melynamontoya]

Great video. Thank you. What is the pattern for quilt behind you? I love it!!❤❤

[susanweaver]

You are a really good teacher. I've been quilting for a while and watching your video has taught me a couple of great ideas when it comes to binding. Thank you.

[margaretderen]

40 years I have had stacks of unbound UFO’s because of the one process I found extremely disagreeable - trimming the corner off the binding strips after joining on the bias! The cats got involved with the strips, I’d cut myself, binding would get tangled…HATED that one simple step. I never thought of trimming the corner FIRST and then joining. 🙄 Thank you for this brilliant suggestion!!!

[kellyrivenburgh]

Wow this is an game changer I love the glue method so much easier, I mean yes it takes some effort but it makes the binding look so much more finished, and binding the ends together 😮 ok I’m doing this every time thank you so much😊😊😊. It just goes to show that your never too old to learn something new 😊

[annethompson]

Very informative and helpful. Love the gluing idea.
