Hi Donna and Fran! Thank you for creating this lesson about doing the 3 B's: Borders, Backings, and Bindings for a quilt. Since I have yet to attempt my first quilt every single detail was new and important to me. Paying attention was easy and fun! I appreciate the mini samples used to illustrate the finer details of each skill being taught. It made focusing on the task at hand easier and, in the process, the outcome seemed far more simple, easily achievable. Each of three individual fabrics chosen for a quilt were especially pretty on their own; but when put together, the beauty of each fabric seemed to intensify when considering their coordinated appearance. This gave a pleasing first glimpse of how a quilt made with those fabrics would appear.
Actually seeing the finished quilt--made with the three chosen fabrics and sewn together according to the pattern style selected--was so inspiring. Envisioning the end result of the proposed project was not left to my own imagination. In fact, with every episode of the Fabric Cafe that I watch, my understanding of and comfort level with the very idea of making a quilt is growing: becoming exciting rather than daunting. Doable rather than just a dream.
I love your show, but was a tad disappointed when I learned that your Fabric Cafe can only be visited online. However, my disappointment soon abated, when next I learned that you are living, working and filming in Texas.
I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada...making it impossible for me to just pop by for a chat, a lesson, and the makings of a new quilting project every time the desire and/or inclination presents itself. I doubt I would have even had the opportunity to meet you two ladies and, as a result, ever have been introduced to your world of fabric, sewing, patterns and quilting expertise.
Thank you for working so diligently to share your beautifully creative and brilliantly organized world of quilting on your YouTube channel. I love that you have an entire quilting school equipped to meet every need of all levels of would-be quilters on your Fabric Cafe website and YouTube channel. The possibilities seem endless and the future is bright 💖🙋‍♀️💐 Sincerely, Anita

I think I have all your books. I make quilts for QOV and abused kids (foster children). Your patterns are perfect. AND!! some are scrap fabric perfect. Your tutorials inspire me. Thank you

I didn't realize that I could get 2 backs out of 2 yards of 108"! The best part about this video was watching your interaction with each other! You have the most beautiful smiles :)

[wandagrimes]

Thank you for taking the time to borders, backing and binding. It was very understandable.
I also liked how you put the quilt name with the quilt picture on the back of latest books. It keeps me from flipping through the pages to find out the name that matches the quilt. I am very happy with your programming and your staff. Very patient and helpful 🙂

Thank you Donna for making the seam go horizontal as a longarmer it is much appreciated

[connieferrell]

Fran, I love the way you did the flange binding.

[debmckasson]

Excellent video. Thanks for your service to the quilting community.

[jocarlson]

I am just learning so I love all your tips
Ty so much for sharing

[meloniemurray]

Thank you all for being so generous and sharing all the free worksheets. I love your videos!!!

[sandrak]

Love all your fabric choices! The flange binding I use when in a hurry because of the machine sewing it down. I match the threads to the fabric for blending to hide better!

[lisastreasures]

Love your knowledge of all things quilty. ✨️

[jeannielettenmaier]

Thank you !!! so much for showing both, stitch by hand or machine . Because I’m allergic to the needles, so I have to do machine. You all are so informative with your videos. 💞🙏🙏

[lolathwing]

I agree with the Donna's choice backing for the quilt. Love the dots and I can't wait to try the flange binding. Thanks for all the tips :-)

[lizcasey]

Thank you so much for showing us how to do a flange binding. I'm going to try it on my next quilt so that I can machine the second edge instead of hand sewing. Just finishing off Suite Times (again) and watched this as I couldn't remember how to do the binding. God Bless. Liz

[helensoares]

I just love your quilt tricks so much and your hints.

[pattik]

You two are great together. Thanks for all the help with quilting! Loved the flange bind demonstration ❤

[barbaramangel]

I liked seeing all of your tips and tricks

[sherrikoers]

I like machine stitching my binding down with a fancy decorative stitch.
