I really like hand sewing onto the back. I get to snuggle it for a while. Kind of like a fond farewell to the completed quilt.
Love that! I really need to take the time and learn how. Have you seen where some use pretty stitches to see their binding? 😍 it looks so nice and sweet!
@@StitchObsessedIt's just a simple slip stitch. Piece of cake. Never thought of doing embroidery to finish it off. Very intriguing. There are a lot of simple embroidery stitches that could be used. May have to try it sometime.
@@donnaking-royal431 yep! I think a blanket stitch would be fun!
I don't mind binding (and I really love finishing a quilt!) but it always takes longer than I expect it to. When I cut binding, I cut enough so I have 20" more than the perimeter measurement. The extra length makes it much easier to do an invisible join, which is my preferred finish join, however that final join requires manipulating the binding fabric to make the same kind of criss-cross you use for joining binding sections. The more extra length you have in the binding, the easier it is to achieve that criss-cross. I always sew the binding to the back first, then flip to front and do the top stitching, using bobbin thread that matches backing fabric. That way if I happen to have any wobbles in the top-stitching so it isn't a perfectly even distance from the outer edge, it's less noticeable on the back.
Sounds like you have a great technique! 👏🏻💖
Thank you so much Miriam for your beginner series! Great job, your so sweet and kind!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the series! 💖🤗
I am a bit late late in commenting. I just ran across this great tutorial. I have watched several video's on binding quilts. This is by far the best step-step demonstration to easily bind a quilt!! I subscribed to your channel because I love they way you explain the process. I am looking forward to watching more videos from you. So helpful. Now I can finish my quilt, without the fear of making a lot of mistakes.
Aww thank you so much! I’m so glad you found this tutorial helpful!💖💖💖 thanks for watching!
I learned how to miter the corners
Yay! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! I always mess up the corners 🎉😊
Happy to help!💖
Thank you Miriam for an awesome basics series! 🎉🎉🎉 Binding is one of my favorite things and I like the way you join the two ends together. ❤ Great job! 👏
Thank you so much, Annette! So glad you enjoyed the series! 👏🏻💖
Your an amazing teacher, I learned so much. ❤
I’m so glad! Thank you! 💖
If you thread your needle for hand sewing thread needed onto the end, and know the thread end on the spool end. Much less chance of the thread from knotting up as you sew.
I’m sorry, I’m confused about what you’re trying to describe.
OMG, I am prone to leaving my iron on too. So scary. I purchased an auto timer for the outlet I plug my iron into so the max amount of time it will stay on is 1 hour. I would recommend this as an inexpensive safety option until you buy your dream iron. Really enjoying your videos and positive vibe. Great work.
Great tip, Andrea!! Thank you 💖🙏🏻
Everyone tells me how awkward I look cutting things left handed , I never see it, but just watching yourself , I definitely see what people mean, it looks so hard. Love your tips thank you for sharing,
lol! I know what you mean! Thank you so much for watching! 💖
Perfect. Thank you!
Glad it helped! Thank you for watching! 💖
Thank you!!!
Of course!! 💖💖
Great tuturial
Thank you so much for watching! 💖🤗
Thanks 👍 I just got the Cozy Picnic!!❤
Awesome! I saw your order come in! Thank you so much, Jean! I hope you love it!
My iron has auto off, but I also have it and my machines plugged into a power strip. The light on the machine lets me know I haven’t turned things off when I leave the room.
Oh that’s actually a genius idea. I may need to do that as well lol thank you for sharing!!!💖
was interested in the mitre corners, thanks for explaining it
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching!
I love my Oliso but I also have a Rowenta that is 25 years old and still works like a champ! I use my large and mini Oliso but also the Rowenta! I love all of them! The investment is well worth it! Plus, I always use Best Press!
I just keep hearing more and more great things about the big Oliso! I may be placing an order later today hehehe Thank you for your input, Laura!!!
Oliso irons are wonderful, but most people say they only work for 2-3 years. I have had mine for over 10 years, so I truly got my money’s worth from it. There are other irons out there that work just as good. Also, as far as the lift feature, if you get an iron withOUT this feature, just get a silicon mat to set your iron on. Works the same way.
Thank you so much for the advice! 💖
Another great instructional video! This was a great Quilting Basics Series! Thanks so much for the great views and explanations. It made the the videos easy to follow. I too am looking forward to your future videos.
Yay! Thank you, Lena! 💖 I’m glad you enjoyed the series! It took awhile, but it was definitely fun to make!
Me too! I actually like binding. There is something about finishing a project that feels so good. For the last couple of weeks I've been tackling learning how to bind corners with various angles. I watched many tutorials and it finally clicked. However, I will NEVER love sandwiching anything larger than a baby quilt. I've tried many methods but I just don't have the room to lay a quilt out. I would gladly pay someone to do the sandwiching. On another note...irons that turn off after so much time passes regardless of how often it is picked up and used are so annoying. I just bought a mini iron that stays on and I love it. The cord is right by the door so I always see it on my way out.
Hi, Kathy! Thanks so much for watching this video! Have you tried glue basting? I’ve done several videos on it and, for me, it’s the best way to baste a quilt sandwich! I can understand how it’s not exactly the most fun step in the quilt making process though haha 😂 have a great day! 💖
@@StitchObsessed Yes I watched that video and do like basting with it. My problem is having too little surface space and having arthritic hands that don’t like to wrestle with the weight and bulk of a larger quilt. Also I bind my quilts very much like you do but find I prefer sewing back to front in order to better control the line of stitching that is visible from the front. And I find it interesting that I join the ends similar to you except I cut both tails at at angle and only fold the raw edge of the first one in 1/4 inch after I’ve trimmed it. I’ve only been seriously quilting for about two years since retiring. I’m impressed with your knowledge and skill from such a young woman. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you!💕
Silly me, while loving this video I am also loving your nail color. Can you tell me what it is!
Haha!!! No problem! Nails is another hobby of mine so I totally get it lol so the cream color is by OPI and the color is “Do You Take Lei Away?” And the green is by Olive and June and the color is “Sagey” 💖💅🏻
Love my Oliso! I mean not as much as a Laurastar but those are for the monied lot, which I am not one of. I burned my arm on my old one pretty bad twice, so the Oliso has eliminated me bumping into the upright iron...and yes safer for the cats too as they LOVE the ironing board.
Ouch! Yes, an iron burn is no joke! Thank you for your input! You’re pushing me just a little closer to ordering one! Haha! I know I wouldn’t regret it, I just HATE spending money 😂😂😂
Also, the brand new Oliso minis have the auto shut off on them now. But dang my mini still works great....hard to justify a new one just for that. I think you'll love the big one. I never get hand or arm strain with it.
@@kimr6683 yes! Plus the have that little light that seems like it would be handy, but I agree with you about buying a new little one just for that. Might as well invest in the big one. I know they last a long time, plus it would probably save time using a larger iron over a small one 🤔 that’s great to hear you don’t get hand strain because I did struggle with that with my old Rowenta iron. Thank you so much for sharing your opinions with me, Kim!
I'm happy I found your channel! ❤
I'm binging your short tutorials.
Thank you. Blessings 🙏🏾🥰

Thank you for watching!
❤❤❤❤ Do you post to uk for your pattern ? Thank you
Hey, Karon! Currently no, but I’m adding this to my list of things to research and figure out. I should be able to, I just need to figure out costs and such. Thank you for asking! 💖
What program do you use to make your quilt patterns?
So to actually design the quilt I use EQ8, and then when I’m putting the pattern together I use Canva! I’m actually planning on making a video all about making patterns and showing my process. 🤓
@@StitchObsessed I can’t wait for THAT video. I have EQ8 also but couldn’t figure out how to do the patterns and print them to look nice 😊
@@StitchedbyTasha I’m excited to make the video! It’s silly in the industry all of this info is so hush hush and not talked about 🫣
@@StitchObsessed silly indeed!! I don’t understand the monopoly and secrecy of it all. I appreciate you for sharing.
How many hours did it take for you to make your cozy picnic quilt?
Hmmm 🤔 all together I think it took between 20-25 hours.
Buying that $200.00 iron is better than replacing a carpet or even house.
Very true! I finally buckled and bought the Oliso 🤓
