    I'm left handed and I have watched and used this video 500 times. I will sit at my desk with my marker/pen/scissors in front of the computer to make sure I do it right.

    I started quilting about 5 years ago, and I am entirely self-taught from magazines and youtube videos. I just finished my 10th quilt yesterday. I learned how to finish and bind a quilt from this video, and I still watch it every time I finish a quilt, especially 3:58 where you show how to make an invisible join. I set my laptop or phone on the table right next to my sewing machine and get a quick refresher on binding, then finish my quilt!

    OMG!!! I cannot stress enough how thankful I am that you taught me this!! I started a project last November and never finished it bc I didn't know how to bind and the directions I had was a 42 page print out that i did not understand. But you made it so simple for me that I finished in an hour!! After I ripped the first try by print out lol thank you again. I hope you still do this bc I realize this video is 11yrs old. I'll be back though Happy Sewing!!

    I don't usually comment on videos, but I wanted to tell you that this tutorial was incredibly clear and helpful. I teach online for a living so I tend to be a critic. :) I was able to follow this easily and completely and used it to a bind a quilt. I was worried the invisible join wouldn't work but it worked like a charm. Thank you for the excellent instruction. :)

    Omg thank you thank you THANK you. I have never made a quilt but I’m crazy, I crochet and make lots of things. I’ve sewn curtains etc. I’m doing an American Girl Christmas and furnishing a 6 foot house....I have three girls to make bedding for and I saw the liveliest quilts and figured I could make them a good $20 less than buying pre-made AND let the girls pick fabrics with the thought that I’m making curtains for their rooms :)
    So I get the hard part done (or so I thought). I hand quilted these in 4 days and thoroughly enjoyed it. I get to the binding and I’ve chosen to do striped fabric on the sides and a solid for the tops, each quilt having a different color for tops and bottom....I destroyed a half yard of my green :/ I could not get my colors to line up when I cut the binding and sewed it together :( I finally made strips of the striped fabric and I’m doing the first one ALL with one same fabric....after watching this. Can you please point me to something you have similar for the two color/print binding?? How do I measure for top, sides, bottom using one fabric for the sides and another for the top? I was always off because I didn’t allow for the folding of those corners but how much do I add..and of which color??? There has to be an easier way. Please help!!

    @kpoulos42 9 років тому +2

    this is a decent video for the beginner quilter. The invisible join is a good technique. I do recommend pressing the seams open to reduce bulk. But, as always, I recommend that people watch several videos on a technique since we all do things a little differently. And try a blind stitch for the hand sewing, I think you will like it.

    I have a 4th option for sewing the binding to the back after it has been sewn onto the quilt. I always do a blindstitich. It is pretty much invisible when you are done. Much nicer than any of these 3 options.

    I have watched other binding tutorials but the other ones always either have an awkward camera angle or the material is far too dark to tell how the heck they are folding the corner! And then they make you do math to figure out the finishing or do some Houdini thing with a dowel in which I would swear they broke into a Scandinavian language and then went back to English to say, "Now, wasn't that easy?" I have ruined two quilt bindings already. This SIMPLE tutorial will save me from further binding homicide and quite possibly the homicide of said binding tutor. Bet you never thought your quilting skills could save lives.
