I agree with other commenters this is by far the most easiest explanation of binding a quilt! Thanks so much! I will refer to this video again and again until I master this!
Thank you Wendi! I was looking on how to sew in a zipper and found this one on binding. I've made about 25 quilts...I've been doing it the hard way for years! Your way is easier and comes out so much neater! You are a natural teacher and whoever filmed for you did a GREAT JOB! Thank you!
I watched three of your videos on layering a quilt, machine quilting and binding a quilt. Very helpful. Thanks so much for sharing your talent and expertise.
Thanks so much for your quilting videos. Clear directions and you make it really easy to understand. Especially appreciated the repetition on the corners for the binding. By the last time I had it down so I didn't have to replay the video.
You are the BEST teacher. Thank you so much. It is 01.44 in the morning and I am still fascinated. I should actually go to bed but you keep me glued to the screen!
Great camera work and really clear descriptions. Thank you! I made a quilt for my daughter's first birthday. It was my one and only quilt. She is now 11 and I still have not done the binding! The binding is ready and ironed and with your tutorial I am determined to finish.
I have sewn 6-8 quilts, by machine and hand. Yours has THE best explanation on the ending of those little tails of the binding, thank you very well done!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm new to quilting and never really understood how to do the hand stitching on the back of the binding. My first quilt I did it all on the machine like putting on bias tape. Now I an do it the "right" way. Thanks again.
I love you, you are my idol. you cannot imagine how many videos I've looked at until, I came to yours. You are a wonderful teacher and you show every detail. Thank you so much
I JUST commented on her last tutorial...how extremely excellent hers are compared to the thousands I've watched in the past!...I love this woman,too! lol
Thank you so much for your videos! I made several quilts, but every time the finishing was a real struggle! More so, your site is great, you have lovely ideas for kids, brilliant!!!
binge watching most of these quilting vids and loving them, been really wanting to do my first quilt project and this is giving me good tips and instructions!
Thanks Wendi for these great videos, especially this one. Have just bound my first quilt easily with a quarter inch binding and have all squared mitered corners thanks to your instructions. Good teacher! Thanks.
Thank you so much, Wendi! Although I do keep rewatching this every time I do a binding.its the best I’ve seen. Glad to be a fan of both you and Alan! (I see him at NCLMSA, LOL)
Me too, I always have to look at videos each time I make a quilt especially the binding part. But I don’t so by hand it would kill my poor little hands. Since this is my first time watching your videos my question is, can I still sew the backside with my sewing machine?
Hi Wendy, Great video on binding and finishing off a quilt. Super easy information, and I'm so motivated to get working on grand baby projects. :) Thanks for uploading x
Thank you for this! My first quilting project was one block that I made into a potholder...but I was able to use this to bind the edges very nicely. Very easy to follow and I like the easy way to end the binding. Thanks!
I would have loved to have had a look at the whole thing finished. This has been very helpful, informative, and interesting. thank you for sharing. bye
You have shown a great art of quilting. I would love to see how you cut the binding and join the strips together at the angle. I have a crib quilt ahead of me for the community quilting guild. I have never quilted my own and I am stumped where to start and the layout. You have helped me with this significantly! Thanks for sharing! Really enjoy you work.
@diwarli It's a Pfaff, but any machine should still sew evenly no matter what speed. If it's not, give it a good cleaning. If it's still not, take it in for a professional cleaning and tune up and tell them what it's doing.
@TheGurliegeek Thanks so much! I'll admit - I bought a cheapo serger a couple of years ago and it's caused me nothing but aggravation ever since. It sits on my sewing table irritating me every time I see it and making me more determined than ever to do as much as possible with a regular machine. :-)
So happy to know how to use my regular sewing machine for the quilting. Thank you for making the binding easy to follow. Is it possible to add some stitch in the ditch quilting to one that I’ve done some hand quilting on?
There is - and if you search you should be able to find several tutorials. I've tried a few different ways, but I've never really been happy with the results of any of them. They always look kind of sloppy compared to the method I use.
You are amazing after watching so many videos I came across yours its outstanding!!!!! I now understand what I'm doing.Wish you had a video on making continues bias binding. You are an Angel. Hope to get a response from you
Brilliant!!! I live in a small town and will never be able to buy your wide ruler, can you tell me where I can get one on line with the best price. Thank you.
Hi Wendi, When you lined up your first edge, how did you know that edge was straight? In other words, it looked like you just placed the ruler along the edge (like it was already straight.)
Usually I do Quilt As You Go and I trim the blocks right before I join them, so I know they're straight. If it's a pieced quilt without QAYG I might need to trim it and square it up first - depending on the quilt.
I agree with other commenters this is by far the most easiest explanation of binding a quilt! Thanks so much! I will refer to this video again and again until I master this!
Thank you!
Your tutorials are clear, happy, just the right length & inspiring!

This was a great way to learn to put on the back and batting thankyou so much.
Thanks so much for this clear, easy to follow binding-a-quilt. I think I've finally got it!
Although I have only seen two of your videos, I will subscribe. They are simple, and very informative. Thank you, Wendi!
I like your binding the Best, this is how I want to bind my quilts for now on :)
You make it look so nice- and so easy.
Thankyou. I have learnt alot . Thankyou once again for your help ❤

very detail and a perfect view vedio, thanks for sharing mam...

Okay! Now I get it! Your videos are the absolute BEST! I am going to delete all the others I have been collecting. AMAZING!
I'm so glad it was helpful. :-)
I totally was thinking the same thing!...Wendi is EXCELLENT! Very talented!
I am about to finish a QAYG quilt. I needed some ideas on how to do the backing...thank you, thank you. My quilt is now a beautiful piece.
This is such a great tutorial!! Thank you so much, this has really helped.
Awesome video. Thanks

Excellent video. Thanks so much. (That's one way to get hubby to listen to you--I'm assuming he's the camera man. He does a great job, too.)
Very helpful! Thanks.
@cmosten Please share photos of the quilt when it's finished! I'd love to see it.
Best,
Wendi
very helpful video. do you have a video that explains how to make the binding?
I'm glad they've been helpful. :-)
Thanks!

great job! thanks for sharing! 😁
I'm glad it was helpful. :-)
Nice work. Thanks for the tips. :)
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful. :-)
@lacrymosa777 Happy to help!
Thanks so much! :-)
Love this! Thank you so much. Now I just need to make my binding. But I know where to come to double check before I start :D
Have fun! The binding is my favorite part. :-)
@lauriegayle Thanks so much! I'm glad it was helpful. :-)
Brilliant!!! I live in a small town and will never be able to buy your wide ruler, can you tell me where I can get one on line with the best price. Thank you.
Im completely new to quilting, is there a name fore this strip pattern?
Hi Wendi, When you lined up your first edge, how did you know that edge was straight? In other words, it looked like you just placed the ruler along the edge (like it was already straight.)
Usually I do Quilt As You Go and I trim the blocks right before I join them, so I know they're straight. If it's a pieced quilt without QAYG I might need to trim it and square it up first - depending on the quilt.
@komisobaba Glad it was helpful! And I hope you got some sleep. :-)
Where do you buy the big ruler?
You can get it (or something much like it) at any big box fabric store like Joann's.
I don't think so - I just threw a bunch of strips together. :-)
thanks a lot
Why do you all make such; small quilts. We need to learn how to do large ones
I have videos that show how to work with large quilts too - but for a lot of my demos I use small ones so you can see the whole quilt as I work.
Thanks so much! I'm glad it was helpful. :-)
Thanks so much! :-)
