I pull up this video every time I bind a quilt, just to make sure I’m doing it right. Thanks for the tutorial!

11 years since you posted this... It's timeless. Thank you

I love the “Easiest Binding Method EVER!” Videos that include phrases like “MUST be [measured, stitched, pinned] EXACTLY right” or forget it, just burn your quilt. How is that “Easy”? This method is easy in actuality and doesn’t require neurotic perfectionism. Quilting is daunting enough. We don’t need more reasons to fear doing it. Thank you for this. The non-perfect quilters of the world needed this.

I am doing my first quilting - making advent calendars for my 3 grandchildren. I don't know what possessed me to take on such a venture when I had NO IDEA what I was doing or how to do it! I had a "binding" video that I could no longer find, but I happened to find this one! Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is the best ever video! You are awesome and I have now completed my first binding and the calendar is beautiful! I hope you still read these after all these years! You are still making a great impression on people with your skills and methods!

Thank heaven. I spent the last 2 days struggling with another method. The subtle differences in the instructions you gave made all the difference. My headache is over. Thank you so much. Pat UK.

I love the way you start sewing the binding with a "pocket" and then just tuck in the end when you go all the way around. None of the other videos showed this simple less complicated method. Thanks so much.

I am a new quilter. Working on binding my second baby quilt and am I ever so happy I found your tutorial on YouTube. I wasn't happy with my first binding but your method is by far the most superior of any I have found. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have made this dreaded process effortless. God bless you!

I wish I could thumb you up every time I use this tutorial. I’d be thumbing you up at least 30 times now. Thank you so very much!

[edavis]

I come back to this tutorial every time I bind a quilt! So easy to follow <3

[karenobrien]

This is THE best tutorial on binding I have ever watched. You saved me $40-70 which is what my long-arm quilter charges to sew the binding on. I will be doing this myself forever more thanks to your video!

I just started quilting again after about 10 years away from it. I'm having to relearn so many things but I'd never seen this way of joining the ends of the binding. It's so easy and clean looking and your instructions are soooo clear. Thank you so much. I, of course, subscribed!

[artgrrl]

This is the only binding tutorial I use. Thank you so very much!!!
