One thing that helps to minimize bulk in the corners is to make sure the direction of the fold in the miter are in opposite directions on each side, I hope that makes sense😊
Piping, yes please!! I love your vids. Your style of teaching is easy for me to understand and not everyone can accomplish this. What I would like you to do is show us how to design and block and quilt on graph paper then go all the way to the finished quilt. Make the math easy for me, I struggle with that part. Thanks for all that you share, you are an incredible person.
Before you fold the binding over, diagonally clip off that tiny corner of the quilt inside he seam allowance to remove the bulk in that corner and you will get the flattest, sharpest, mitered corner ever.
Hi Christen! Could you hear me cheering for this video??! Your teaching style is wonderful. Piping, or anything else you want to explore will enrich my experience...so grateful to you from Canada.
Hi Christine, love , love your video's. I'm going to try the 3 inch binding on my next quilt. Still don't have my sewing room set yet I hit a bump in the road. December 14 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. So with surgery and radiation I'm just now getting back in the swing of thing. I'm so excited to get back to what I love so much and have a lot of new patterns I want to make. Keep up the great work you do!
Angela, good for you getting back to quilting. I am 74 and struggle with my health but when I have energy I try to get back to my quilting too. It’s encouraging to finish. Praying for you to stay strong and healthy so you can do all the things you love to do too. God bless.❤️✝️🙏💐
Thank you Christen. I am almost ready to bind the quilt I am working on for one of my daughters and I am going to use the 3” binding. Thank you for showing us these great tips. Hope you have your power back. Our vet clinic in Houston just received power two days ago. God bless.❤️✝️🙏
Angela, I’m so glad you’re getting back into the swing of things after your breast cancer treatment. Wishing you all the very best. Charlotte, a fellow breast cancer survivor.
This is how I do my binding except I use 2 1/2” binding. I Believe I will try your 3” bind and I had never thought about using a flat took with the corners. Great idea. Shared this with my cousin, she is my sewing buddy. Thanks
I LOVE your sewing space and love all of your videos. Thank you for helping me along my quilting journey. You’ve been such an inspiration and a wonderful teacher for years. Thank you 💗
Oh my gosh...I just subscribed to you on a previous video, then I see this one...and discover that we're 'neighbors'!! Yes, the power outage has been chaotic to say the least... Howdy to my fellow Texan! 🤠🤠
If you say 3 inches, I will do 3 inches... love everything you do and teach! and trust your judgement completely! If next year it is 1 inch...so be it! Lol! Have you done any of those trendy Potato Chip Block quilts?...Did you see Sister Chicks latest... Ugly Panel Challenge...she took a very 'interesting chicken/rooster country panel'...cut it up completely into little squares, and did an Irish Chain pattern... all you see is squares of color...no roosters!
Christine, I have always struggled with binding, don't know why, but I tried 3 inch binding, OMG, what a game changer. My binding on my last quilt was almost perfect. Thank you so much for the tip!!!
Those are BEAUTIFUL mitered corners! I made a big mistake a couple of quilts ago by clipping some bulk from the corners. Uh oh, and OH NO! Piping, yes please!
OMG thank you thank you soooo much for showing us this tip, no matter how hard I tried I could not do a corner, now I can THANK YOU AGAIN, you are the greatest 😀
Very helpful. I am a novice quilter but quilt for charity. So my corners have been so-so. I doubt I will incorporate piping into the binding but I will view your video if you make it. The one little thing I need help with is how to join the binding when ends meet. I bet you've done a video already. I just need to search youtube. Thanks! Hope your power is back. The storms have been rough on Texas. I'm a weather geek.
Christen, thank you for all you do and for being such a good instructor on all your videos. I've seen that piping call flange in other videos I don't know if it would be the same thing but I'm so very interested in seeing how you do it; when you say easy I say I'm all in. By the way, you have beautiful hands and I love watching hands at work creating😊
Hi Kristin, I also would love to see a video on piping for binding. It looks so complicated, but I am sure that you would be able to explain it well. I am also going to try the 3 inch binding on my next charity quilt I have just finished. Thank you for inspiring quilters of all ages and abilities. 😊 Barbara Prater
Gorgeous quilt! I love everything about it, too, and I'd absolutely love to see a video of you showing the little extra pizazz you added for the binding! Thank you for this!
Thank you. I always wanted to do this, but did not know how. Your video was explained and really like the way you are funny but learning at the same time.
This is a great video! I was hoping to see how you join the binding ends when you’ve finished stitching it around the quilt edges. And Yes, I’m very interested in learning how you made your piped binding.
Please make a video on the faux piped binding!! I’ve seen that before and would love to learn the technique! Thanks for this video! I didn’t realize you were in the Houston area. I am in Cypress! Hope you made it through with as little damage/financial loss as possible. We’ve had some crazy weather! Love your channel! ❤
Absolutely the piping. I was struck by the binding you had on the mitered corner video. Also I noticed the quilting on that quilt with the ice cream cone is that done with Amelie Scott. If so I would like to watch you from start to finish get that ready for your quilt and then how to quilt it. Thank you.
Thanks for the helpful video. I would love to see a video on flanged bindings. Also would love to see how the stitching looks on the back of the quilt with the 3” binding. My machine binding stitches always look so messy on the back.
Love hearing ok to use 3 inch binding. I have always wondered if that one half inch would be better to wrap around. Yea, You gave me a push., I’m doing this next quilt. Would love to see The piping instructions. Glad to meet you And thank you. ☺️
That's a good technique. It looks easy. Nobody showed me how to fold the corners. I am interested in the 2 color binding. Could you show how you made it?
Hay! I bind my quilts any size i want! Ive only heard of this 2 and 3 inch binding within this last year. But then again i have only been seeing quilting videos for about a year. Anyway.... i made a quilt with the sides were o about1 1/2 inch and the top and bottom was somthing like 4 inches. It gives the quilt a longer look that i was going for. Sometimes I'll put a bit of extra battling in the binding. It gives you a little extra somthing to hold onto when pulling the quilt up closer to you when you're using it. Not sure where this 2 inch rule came from but i want my quilts to be something people like to look at! So i do what i think would make the quilt functional and pleasing to the eyes! Thank you for your video i have a quilt that i HAVE to bind with this type of corners. I'll probably have to watch this a few time! Thanks once again! Namaste
Just found your channel today. Enjoyed your video. So glad you are safe after those storms. Was hoping to use your longarm service, but I don't think I have 10 inches all around. I'm new to quilting and didn't know I needed to leave 10 inches all around. Maybe next time. Many blessings!
Omg! I just spent 4 hours working on the corner of my first quilt. I had this video but didn’t watch until now…talk about frustration! I just sewed the corner following along with your simple clear instructions and Voila! TWO minutes and I’m DONE! THANK YOU, thank you thank you!
Hi Kristen. I'm happy to see that you and your family have made it through those storms. Mitered corners hate me, but your guidance in this video might be the help I've needed. Please stay safe and well. ~~ Lynne
Hi Christine. I love this miter corner method. I’m anxious to try it! I do not know which video you show this tool that you have. It’s that multicolored beautiful binding holder that was made with, I think,acrylic. You gave the location to get one and I guess I copied it wrong. Would you please give me that Shop to purchase that beautiful binding holder. I hope this makes sense and thanks again for the great video! Jeanne
That is a beautiful quilt. Have you done a video on a piping binding? If not would you in the future? It's beautiful and is the perfect finishing touch for this quilt..
I would like to see the stitching on the back when you sewed the binding down. I assume you stitched from the front. Did you use black thread for the back? You are a good teacher.😊
Did anyone else oooh and ahhh when she made that first corner? Lol ❤️
Yes.. please do a video on flanged binding. I’ll keep watching for it. Thank you for taking the time to teach all of us quilters.
You are most welcome Sandra.
Ditto! Would love a video on that technique. It's such a nice little touch but looks so "fancy"!
@ellenmcphate1441 you said "ditto" that brought back memories and a smell flashback. We won't say how old we are.
One thing that helps to minimize bulk in the corners is to make sure the direction of the fold in the miter are in opposite directions on each side, I hope that makes sense😊
Yes, you are so right.
Piping, yes please!! I love your vids. Your style of teaching is easy for me to understand and not everyone can accomplish this.

Thanks for all that you share, you are an incredible person.
Thank you so much that is so kind Sherry. I will make note of that for sure and add it to my video list.
Before you fold the binding over, diagonally clip off that tiny corner of the quilt inside he seam allowance to remove the bulk in that corner and you will get the flattest, sharpest, mitered corner ever.
Hi Christen! Could you hear me cheering for this video??! Your teaching style is wonderful. Piping, or anything else you want to explore will enrich my experience...so grateful to you from Canada.
Yay! I am so glad it is helpful, that means the world.

Fun video with good tips
Thank you so much!
Hi Christine, great video! I’m definitely going to try the 3” binding. Thank you!! I would like to see the piping demonstrated.
Thank you! I will try and create that video soon
Love it thank you!
Omg! I just spent 4 hours working on the corner of my first quilt. I had this video but didn’t watch until now…talk about frustration! I just sewed the corner following along with your simple clear instructions and Voila! TWO minutes and I’m DONE! THANK YOU, thank you thank you!
Oh YAY!!! That is so so great.

Great tutorial! Please do a tutorial on how to attach the ends of the binding when you are finished mitering the corners.
Thank you! I will work on it 😍
That is a beautiful quilt. Have you done a video on a piping binding? If not would you in the future? It's beautiful and is the perfect finishing touch for this quilt..
I have to work on the piping video.
Very helpful video!! Thank you. 😊
I am so glad it was helpful.
Thanks for this, I have learned so much watching your channel.
I'm so glad!
I would like to see the stitching on the back when you sewed the binding down. I assume you stitched from the front. Did you use black thread for the back? You are a good teacher.😊
I always try to use a very similar thread to blend in with my quilt backing 😍
