Doing binding right now. Needed a reminder to connect the 2 ends when finishing. Watching from Victorville, CA.

Good tips! I am going to try these with my next binding.

I have been struggling with “dimpled” corners when binding my quilts for many years! Until today, I’ve never heard or seen a suggestion for getting rid of those pesky things. Just tried your method. My corners are nicely mitered and flat! Brilliant! I can’t thank you enough!

I would like to see exactly what you’re doing when sewing

You are sewing 1/4 inch from edge of fabric (not 1/4 inch from edge of batting), correct?

Hi, Christine here from Wales's, in the UK. I can understand why you leave appropriately 1 8th of wading, however, how do you square up the quilt block, without cutting the wading?

I can't locate the print out for this video. I thought you said it would be in the comment section. Please help!

My binding was empty like you said. I just finished my first one. I was wondering how I could get away from that empty look. Tks. But my corners looked great.
