I’ve been sewing and quilting for about 20 years and this is the first time someone fully explained well about why bias binding is stronger. Thanks Pat!
Hello Pat, I totally enjoy watching your videos on You Tube. Posting your videos only on You Tube will save you time and stress, which is more important than appeasing the masses. Take care and thank you.
I love scrappy quilts, so if I had scrapy binding I would definitely use it. I've been buying charm packs here and there to hopefully have enough different ones to make a scrapy quilt with. I don't have any family or friends that quilt, so I can't go raid somebody's stache. DANG!!! 😂 I'm still on my first quilt and before this haven't sewed in some time. My materials got list in a move, so I'm starting from scratch again. I want to make another crazy quilt. The 2 that I've done, I put a lot of hand embroidery on. I love this March madness with the calendar of things to do. Thank you. 💗😊💗
No I just found your you tube videos BUT I emailed this video to my sister and 4 friends. They are all just starting out quilting and this explained binding really well thank you.
Awesome chat tonight Pat! I made a couple notes about binding that I did not know before. I love to learn new things! LOVE that fabric in your giveaway this week and your two blocks were just lovely! I tend to shy away from plaids but yours inspired me to give it a try! Thanks Pat! ps I always watch you on You Tube so that isn't a problem for me. Please make it easier on yourself!
It is completely wild I have been one day ahead of you, I did the same yesterday with my planer . Not the binding, I keep mine in a big clear vinyl bag and sew pieces together as I can use them. I have it hanging where I see it.
I'm a "top expert" which means that's about all I seem to get done. I have over 25 waiting to be quilted and that's where I hit a brick wall. So I don't have a lot of leftover binding yet. Ugh! I have watched all episodes since March 1st because I love your videos, short or long but haven't done everything talked about in those videos. I have a baby shower to attend on Sunday and I am starting the quilt tonight (eek) but at least I have the matching cross stitch picture done. I need to get going!
Just coming up on three years as a quilter and so far, the only pieced binding I’ve done was with fabrics in that actual quilt. I open up leftover pieces and save them in my 2 1/2 inch strip box. I’m enjoying your daily videos and have done “something “ every day! Since starting to watch your posts, I have begun working on several quilts at once and I love that! Thank you Pat!
Yes and yes. UA-cam is great! Make it easier for you to share your talent & ideas❤️. I love scrappy binding. I didn’t know about the most durable binding. I have never done a single binding but I will now😊
Hi Pat! I cut up my binding and use in scrap quilts or for small wall hangings. I missed 3 days of Crazy Quilty March because of family commitments but plan on going back and catching up. I’m having fun with the prompts and feel like I am accomplishing more with a fun purpose. Thanks to you!
I make up a yards worth of binding , cut 2 1/2 on bias so thast I have enough for several quilts on hand ready to be put on. I keep the shorter pieces for pot holders, mug rugs and place mats when I make them. I have been able to keep up each day and even turned my sewing room around so it is more efficient. all of my storage drawers are on one side of the room . much easier to pick out fabric for my projects. all of my project are in baskets and are on a shelf right behind me so I can reach them easiely. keep the challenges comong. I am working on the aurifil cross stitch right now but have printed the challenge to take on a trip that we are taking to Florida.
To answer the question: I have been following your Crazy Quilt March videos so far every day this month. I am trying to do some thing quilty every day-and watching your videos counts! :) LUV U PAT!
Good info! I did not know these details about binding. I’m in the process of replacing the binding on a well- loved quilt that my mom made. It is about 23 years old. We use it all the time in the living room. That is exactly what happened to the binding. Now I know why this happened.Looks like I need to perfect my skills for making bias binding. scrappy binding is a good plan. I like that you are keeping your challenge in one spot. This way I only need to look in one space and I know the best spot to respond.
I just finished a quilt top that I started several years ago and have numerous 2 1/2" strip pieces left. I had debated (with myself) about what binding to use, the border fabric or something else. Just decided on a scrappy binding using the leftover strips that were used in the top. Thank you for the idea. I think it will look really cute.
I put my bindings into my scrap user system drawer, usually 2 1/2 inches. I have loved doing your crazy quilting March calendar. I have not posted until now, but I have done something every day. I been marking my calendar.
Yes, I save binding scraps and make scrappy binding for scrappy quilts. I generally find matching/similar colors for that quilt and use foot-long runs of each color (cutting strips, if necessary). Shorter leftovers I cut into 5” and 2,5” strips/ blocks for piecing into other patterns. People usually comment on the scrappy bindings-favorably 😜
Strip quilts and 2 1/2 inch squares-that’s where my leftover bindings end up! Love your videos....lots of inspiration and wishful thinking for more hours in a day!
I also keep a stack of 2.5" squares by my machine, and sew 4-patches as "Leaders and Enders" when working on various projects. It's amazing how quickly they stack up. I probably have enough now to make your Traffic Jam quilt.
I have one small drawer that is dedicated to binding leftovers. I look there before making binding from scratch for all my scrappy quilts. It comes in handy.
Yes, I use leftover binding. Still making double, straight of grain binding, so I don't want to waste the fabric. Quilts of Valor binding is generally red, white (cream ) and blue, so I sew those all together and use to bind one of the multi fabric designs. Then the extras of the rainbow colors, sometimes I just cut into squares, or iron the fold out and use as strips. I make less of these as bound quilts, as these quilts are mostly for Project Linus and I generally envelope those. I recently did a bias quilt binding to take advantage of the stripes going diagonally. Boy was that a challenge to wrap my head around! 288 inches is a LOT if you mess up the cutting!
I’ve used the leftover binding in other quilts as squares or binding on smaller projects. I started doing 2” binding, so it’s going to be a bit more challenging to figure out how to use it up. Maybe for a scrappy quilt. I also joined the FQS Stitch quarterly and got my first package. I’m so excited to be cross stitching again!
Oh I like the idea of clipping the binding with a wonder clip!! I recently started a bin for bindings of my current projects. I always have several in the works and I was always worried about misplacing bindings or binding fabrics. My plan is for each new project I start I will make the binding first and put in the bin. The wonder clip idea will be used!
Ugg I'm behind on Crazy quilting March....I was in my attic pulling a craft project for spring. Came down my steps and took a bigger step then I should've. I've pulled the muscles around my littlest toe... little boo boo big hurt...huge purple area lol. soooo I'm going to double up some days so I can get caught back up. Binding by color family stitched together is such a great idea. Lol The more you show the St. Patty's day kit.. the more I'm tempted lol. Pat your 1 person....it wont hurt anyone to come to you tube.
I don’t normally save binding. Seams like the other things I save take up so much room that I wouldn’t have the space. Also, I would have one more thing to keep organized.
I cut my binding when I make the top. In case it's 8 months later when it's quilted and I've put all the fabric away (or used it for the next quilt) I have matching binding ready.
I agree...link it all to UA-cam...so much easier. Love the binding babies. Oh i like this idea...i cut 2 1/2 inch strips and fold them in half so i must have been doing double binding...i like this single binding! In a few minutes i learned something new about binding...too cool:) my great aunty’s binding split NOW i know why! I need to catch up because that quilt behind your left shoulder is gorgeous. I am going to do Lori’s stitch cards BECAUSE i want a FINISH ❤️. It will be time saving to link to youtube....i said that already huh? I love your giggle! Have a fun week!
I'm pretty good about making just enough binding for any given project but when i have extra I keep it and use leftovers to bind scrap quilts....the multi-color binding enhances the scrappy look.
I save my binding bits and use them on potholders or table runners. If they are too short for that, I press them open and add them to my strips scraps. I do love scrappy bindings especially on scrappy quilts.
I roll my binding up and secure with a straight pin. Then I have a plastic project box and put it in that. It is pretty full now, but I can go in there and put together smaller pieces that will go with the current quilt.
If I do my binding ahead of time, I wrap it around a piece of small cardboard and stick a pin in it. But this is a great idea about the left over bindings as all I do is leave it with my scraps.
I wrap all my leftover binding wrapped on pieces of cardboard with a little pin to hold secure. All my boards fit in a dwarer hardly taking up any space. I don't waste my time prepping binding for a quilt that hasn't been made. I love a scrappy binding and when I decide that type it has to coordinate more specifically.
I plan to use some left over binding on some table runners and/or mini quilts. Loved your tip on cutting apart and mixing it up before using!!! Thanks!
Thank you Pat, an other fireside chat full of good advise. I am using binding 2,5 inch wide. Left over is cut up into 2,5 squares and goes into scrap box..
Thank you so much Pat for the videos! Enjoy seeing you everyday and really appreciate all the help and knowledge you share with us! You are so sweet!❤️
I roll left over bindings and store in my “Binding” container. When I need one for mini quilt or table runner, something usually matches. I will have to try a scrappy binding.
I used the two of the left over fabrics to make a binding for my grandsons quilt as I didn't have enough of one to make the binding. I had to cut it up to look scrappy.
I sew left over binding to each other. I use them in the cat quilts I have been making quilts for the cats. 18 x 24 or smaller. The cats dont care the colors. I just figured out how to print from my phone. I am loving these small videos..and having the calendar it.makes it easier to keep track.
I have followed everyday but have not kept up. We are the owners of two small businesses so I am not able to get to my sewing room daily. I am still cleaning up my scraps 🤣
I have only one leftover binding! I'm planning on a scrappy binding for a log cabin quilt I recently finished. I'm going to use the left over strips from the blocks.
If I have several pieces of similar color, I will sew them together for a scrappy binding. If not, I'll save them to use as pot-holder bindings, or pillow bindings.
I saw a pattern for a cute girl's purse that uses leftover binding strips as ruffles down the front. It could also be used as ruffles on a dress or skirt or even a shirt.
The only time I used some was to tie up my tomato plants, not very quilty. I saw a quilt made out of blue jean waistbands that would work for binding. if the binding had a strip of batting in it the quilt would be done when it was sewn together.
I usually use 2 1/2 inch double fold binding. When I have leftover, I put it into a bin to use as scrappy binding. But if it is less than about a foot, I iron it open, then cut it into 2 1/2 inch squares to use in other projects.
What I do with leftover binding depends on the amount I have left. I do double fold binding and if I just have a short amount extra, I tend to press out the fold and add the binding strip to my scrap basket. If it’s a longer piece of binding, I put it with other leftover bindings and eventually piece them together to make a scrappy binding. I piece a lot of scrappy quilts so a scrappy binding always looks fine on them.
Sew 2 pieces at least 10 inches long together and make scrunchies. Or if long enough save for either scrappy binding or iron for 2.5 inch strip collection
I was until Monday. It was a very sad day for our family. We had to say goodbye to my/our best friend, Indy. That's him in my avatar. It made it harder that he was only 6 and wasn't ill. Sorry for being a downer. Today I finally felt like doing something other than cry so I've been watching your videos and I'm all caught up. I thank you for giving me tasks to do! Before Monday I was getting around to doing what you suggested, maybe not on the day but it was getting done. As for the leftover binding my pieces are smaller and I was thinking of making them into mug rugs. Yes I'm one of those that has small pieces and can't bear to through them out! hahahaahaa
I’ve been sewing and quilting for about 20 years and this is the first time someone fully explained well about why bias binding is stronger. Thanks Pat!

Haven't used my stache of binding yet. I was just working on my valentine quilt machine quilting now adding the binding perfect timing thanks pat
I love it over on UA-cam. I don't care to just park on Facebook for long periods of time.

I am going to go back and follow along and play catch-up. You make quilting so fun.
thank you!
I use 2 1/2" binding. Therefore I automatically have 2 1/2" strips to use in my quilts as jelly rolls.
I don’t normally save binding. Seams like the other things I save take up so much room that I wouldn’t have the space. Also, I would have one more thing to keep organized.
Thanks by the way really enjoying following crazy quilty March. I think it's making me do more quilty things. If it's possible to do more.....
I cut my binding when I make the top. In case it's 8 months later when it's quilted and I've put all the fabric away (or used it for the next quilt) I have matching binding ready.

I have used it for smaller quilt projects as well as making design boards. I use the double binding.
I roll my binding up and secure with a straight pin. Then I have a plastic project box and put it in that. It is pretty full now, but I can go in there and put together smaller pieces that will go with the current quilt.
If I do my binding ahead of time, I wrap it around a piece of small cardboard and stick a pin in it. But this is a great idea about the left over bindings as all I do is leave it with my scraps.
I iron out my
smaller pieces of binding and put it in my applique stash. The larger pieces go in my 2.5 strip stash for quilts.
Good idea!
I have been trying to do a little everyday not as much as I would like but you are an inspiration for trying
I have done something every day! Love the inspirations.
I wrap all my leftover binding wrapped on pieces of cardboard with a little pin to hold secure. All my boards fit in a dwarer hardly taking up any space. I don't waste my time prepping binding for a quilt that hasn't been made. I love a scrappy binding and when I decide that type it has to coordinate more specifically.
I have my left over binding wrapped around toilet paper and paper towels rolls. When I need scrappy binding, I just piece some from each roll.
I plan to use some left over binding on some table runners and/or mini quilts. Loved your tip on cutting apart and mixing it up before using!!! Thanks!
I use my leftover binding for coasters that I make when practicing FMQ designs.
Victoria Clifford great idea!
I have loved your daily videos..... For crazy quilting March.... Thank you for the prompts..
Remember you said one thing to me Pat years ago, there are only so many hours in a day. You only can do so much.
Love the scrappy planner..... full..... need more space for project ideas
I use left over binding on scrappy quilts, I just make a scrappy binding. It's a good way to use up the fabric.
Thank you Pat, an other fireside chat full of good advise. I am using binding 2,5 inch wide. Left over is cut up into 2,5 squares and goes into scrap box..
I save my extra binding to use on scrappy quilts.
I keep a journal and try to accomplish items every day. Love the Project planner..... gonna order one
Love the colors in the aqua and green Sorry block!
Extra binding is about the right size (1-1/2" to 2-1/2") for the accent band on pillowcases made with the "burrito method."
I love to make scrappy bindings. They are so darn cute!
I have used left over binding strips for my string quilts. Left over binding is kept in a basket until I decide it is string quilt block time.
Thank you so much Pat for the videos! Enjoy seeing you everyday and really appreciate all the help and knowledge you share with us! You are so sweet!❤️
I roll left over bindings and store in my “Binding” container. When I need one for mini quilt or table runner, something usually matches. I will have to try a scrappy binding.
You changed the quilt on your wall. I really like it.
I use them to make 2 1/2 squares. This so much fun!!
Love your traffic jam quilt. Perfect.
I used the two of the left over fabrics to make a binding for my grandsons quilt as I didn't have enough of one to make the binding. I had to cut it up to look scrappy.
cool!

I connect my leftover binding to make a scrappy binding for future quilts.
Congrats Peggy - Enjoy!!!
I measure my left over binding, wrap it, mark. Then use it in a scrappy border.
Hi Pat, I love Crazy Quilting March! Thank you😊
Cannot wait to try single fold binding, sounds good.
Hi from Maine
I think I'll use some bindings for small bowl copies or maybe on a flannel project board.
Love the red in the traffic jam!
I have only one leftover binding! I'm planning on a scrappy binding for a log cabin quilt I recently finished. I'm going to use the left over strips from the blocks.
Thank You Pat for another informative video !!
Thank you for the daily knowledge and insight
I have strip boxes that I use to make flip & sew blocks, so I just put my left over bindings in there.
If I have several pieces of similar color, I will sew them together for a scrappy binding. If not, I'll save them to use as pot-holder bindings, or pillow bindings.
I saw a pattern for a cute girl's purse that uses leftover binding strips as ruffles down the front. It could also be used as ruffles on a dress or skirt or even a shirt.
I put mine in one of my scrap collections.
i make everyone pot holders for xmas, my leftover everything goes into them
I use it on mini quilts or mug rugs, mats.
I like to use leftover bindings for small projects or for string quilts.
Very informative on the different bindings. Thanks!
I use leftover binding strips for scrappy quilts.
I have a bin full of leftover binding and bins of scraps cut into many sizes. Maybe some day I’ll use them. 🤔
The only time I used some was to tie up my tomato plants, not very quilty. I saw a quilt made out of blue jean waistbands that would work for binding. if the binding had a strip of batting in it the quilt would be done when it was sewn together.
I usually use 2 1/2 inch double fold binding. When I have leftover, I put it into a bin to use as scrappy binding. But if it is less than about a foot, I iron it open, then cut it into 2 1/2 inch squares to use in other projects.
Playing catch-up, thank you Pat. Waving to you from Michigan

I was until Monday. It was a very sad day for our family. We had to say goodbye to my/our best friend, Indy. That's him in my avatar. It made it harder that he was only 6 and wasn't ill. Sorry for being a downer.
Today I finally felt like doing something other than cry so I've been watching your videos and I'm all caught up. I thank you for giving me tasks to do! Before Monday I was getting around to doing what you suggested, maybe not on the day but it was getting done. As for the leftover binding my pieces are smaller and I was thinking of making them into mug rugs. Yes I'm one of those that has small pieces and can't bear to through them out! hahahaahaa
big hugs
