Quilting 101: How to Add Quilt Borders
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 жов 2017
- Hi everyone! I'm back today with another video in my "How to Quilt" series. I'll be showing you how to add decorative borders to your quilted projects!
Borders are a really easy way to add visual interest and increase the size of your quilted projects as well. Though there are a few different ways to add borders, today I'll be showing you how to add a simple straight border. You can also do mitered borders, but we won't be covering that in today's video.

Wow, finally a simple video explaining borders! I've been searching youtube all morning for one! Thanks for the easy-to-follow instructions! I love the website resource. That will be a life saver for me
Love your tutorials, gives me the courage to go for it. being a new quilter sometimes is overwhelming.
Thank you.
Oh great Ive found a tutorial I can understand as a novice and complete newbie here in the UK making my first couple of landscape and seascape panels ad my memories of the places Ive loved and I need to know how to add borders. Your lesson has made it so easy to understand, especially the working out of measurements and with the link to quiltparadise, which I hope works, because its the maths I cant get my head around! Thank you Erica for this tutorial you are an angel! xx
Erica, this was great...especially for a beginning quilter such as myself. You are a great instructor! Thank you!!!
The small red border definitely just the right amount of panache. Good job!
Wow! You make this look easy. No need to actually mitering all the borders corners. I did fail to notice on my third go around of watching the video to flip the 2 side borders back out after ironing them. So of course being a newbie at quilting I stopped and waited after counting to 100. I came back in and watched your video again. There it was. That is why I will not watch speechless tutorials. Words do speak volumes. Thank you and I did subscribe to your station because it was so easy, really! Thanks so much, Kim
I love your quilting tutorials! Please do a mitered corner border one! That would be so helpful!!
Great tutorial. That strip of red just made it really pretty. Glad you added it. Thanks for the calculator tip. I will definitely use it. Still haven’t made a quilt yet! Trying to finish up some projects but I definitely want to make one. Your quilting videos are awesome and I will be watching all of them. I like how you add your borders. I have made a few wall hangings and will be using your border method in the future. Great block. Thanks. Hugs! 💝
This was just what I needed tonight! I finished my project with this help
I love the Red you added❣
Erica, thank you for this tutorial. The information was very helpful. You are a great teacher. I also loved the red border you added.
OMG. I just started my first quilt and was feeling overwhelmed because it’s too small. Your video has helped me tremendously. I can do the boarders. Several boarder. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I will definitely be adding borders to my next project.
Loved this little quilt. Think I will try it!!
Luv it! The red border really perked it up!!
Thank you so much for this! I’m making a baby quilt for my niece and was stressing about the borders. You made this look so easy. Can’t wait to get to the borders now.
I think the whole tutorial was great. I especially liked how you made it so easy and the calculator I now have on my favorites list.
The red made it pop- great touch.
I love the truck pattern. You have to do more of these type of videos.
Thank you so much for this video. It was exactly what I was looking for to help me finish my projects.
Thank you very much for this. I watched it and went to do my border and it was perfect!
Thank you for the tips and information!
Love the red and green borders. Not as fussy about pattern on outer one as it clashes a bit…. I’d probably use more plain. Just me…. Thank you for another great video
This is such a helpful video... uhhh thank you!! Love this video really, sending much love!!
Really cute block!
You give the best tips. Thanks!
Super easy! Thank you.
Erica, I love❤️ all of your quilting videos! I’m fairly new to quilting but have learned so much from watching you! I would love that truck pattern, would you consider it to be for someone with intermediate piecing skills? Thank you for your inspiration
Yes, if you can sew a half-square-triangle you can sew this quilt!
TY for the tips ❤️ 😀
Beautiful
Wow thank you so much for this I'm still a beginner
I would love this pattern. Please
Great video! If I want to join 12 squares how do I compensate for joining top and side rows?
I'm not sure of your question, but if you want to join 12 squares then add borders, you'd do it exactly the same way. Measure your sides, then top + width of your border on both sides. Hopefully that makes sense.
Please do a metered corner video!
I am a new quilter, is this block batted before adding binding
Hi Erica, where did you get the barn quilt on the wall behind you, its so cute!!
It's from Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage Book :)
I love the truck! I'm an advanced beginner sewer/quilter...would this be Ok for someone like me?
Yes, it's relatively easy :)
Erica, Can I ask where did you get the truck pattern.
Sorry, I forgot to link it, you can find the pattern here: bit.ly/2jae6AW
Oh dear the link doesnt work fir me here in the UK...sadly. xx
What is the app you have on your phone for doing the calculations?

@@erica_arndt Thank you
Are there any video tutorial for ANY of the quilt blocks in your patterns ? I have purchased the patterns but would love to see at least one block made in a video. Thank you in advance.
Hi, I'm sorry I don't usually do video tutorials for the blocks in my patterns, but they do have detailed step-by-step instructions along with graphic illustrations to make assembly easy! :) Also feel free to email me if you have any questions as you go!
what is the site you used for measurements? Quiltersparadise.com? I must be spelling it wrong because it didn't take me anywhere!
Hi Debra, here is the link: www.quiltersparadiseesc.com/
Makes me think of a Christmas truck under the Christmas tree.
Yes, I love vintage Christmas trucks!
Be a cute Christmas wall hanging
Sherry Raynor yes it need a brown triangle for the bottom to make the trunk of the tree. Then it all will look complete.
So, to be clear, to make the corner, you just sew it right over the corner of the other side?
Yes, after you fold the corner you start at the new end.
I just dont get how adding the additional step of joining the border strips only to recut them is making it faster?
I just don't worry about cutting them to size first in the event that I've miscalculated. It might not faster for sewing, but I don't have to waste time doing math :)
I tried to order the pattern for the truck, but it won't allow me to proceed without signing up for an account. Just want to order and pay.
Where do I find the site where you plug in the numbers? Thank you
I found it!! 😀

A red binding would reall set it off.
Looking for the link to quiltersparadise.com
like very mouch
Every time I add borders with this method I end up with super wavy borders. What am I doing wrong?
Hmm, not sure, make sure to sew straight, when you sew in long lines you can get wavy without realizing it. Also it can help to sew opposite directions with each border you add as well. For example if you sew top to bottom on the first right side border, try sewing bottom to top when you add the next right side border.
You don’t have to back stitch every time you start and end??
No, I only backstitch on the final border to hold it in place until I quilt it.
I found it.
OMG! I love this tutorial with the app for calculations! I. hate. math :-)
