Love your amazing videos, it’s Christmas Eve 2023, I’m working on a cuddle backed throw quilt for my granddaughter, needed some ideas as to weather I wanted to bind with added minky binding or fold back to front. Thank you for sharing your inspiration!
You are such a great teacher.. you made this look so easy!! Thankyou
Thanks so much 😊 I'm glad it was helpful! --teresa
Thank you so much for this video!! I have reached this point on my kimberbear blanket. I am a visual learner so this is what I needed. Thank you! ❤
This finally got me doing mitre corners.
Thank you so much for this series of tutorials. Prior to these I was learning the hard way. I love Shannon Cuddle and Luxe Cuddle for making g gift quilts and blankets. You have inspired me to keep trying!
Love this video it is very helpful thanks
Wish I had watched this a long time ago! I’ve been trying to bind cuddle using the usual cotton binding way 1:28 and have hated the results!🤦♀️🤦♀️ Thank you!😊
Glad it was helpful!
1 3/4 inch cut binding? Zigzag other side 5 wide/5 long luxe cuddle or use serpentine on cuddle. Thank you so much Teresa!
Thank you. Very clear directions.
Hi and thanks a million for another great tutorial of yours! 🌸🌸 So helpful!
WOW! This is an awesome amazing explanation of sewing the corners!! Thank you!! I was struggling but I know this will help! Can’t wait to finish my first quilt!!!!
Wow can't wait to see the cotton and cuddle. I have the cotton quilt done and some cuddle on hand!
Thanks again for this wonderful series on using Cuddle! This particular video is one I've been waiting for! I'm making quilts for twin girls and want to use Cuddle 3 on the backs. After watching the video I think I'll use Cuddle fur for the binding. 😉

I'm really enjoying these teaching videos so much. I've already learned way more about sewing methods that have improved my sewing. You are an excellent teacher. Keep up the good work. You inspired me so much I've been out buying Cuddle Minky fabric so I can sew your inspiring projects. Thank-you
You are so welcome! I'm so glad it's been helpful and I can't wait to see what you make! ;) -teresa
Loving the video series!! I 've seen some people doing patch work quilts with the cuddle. Any tips, tricks, or maybe a tutorial would be awesome!! 😊
Tina Valentine-Bellefeuille Tune in tomorrow! Our 7/9 show is all about using Cuddle with patchwork.
Fantastic video on this!
I come back to this saved video every time I make a Shannon cuddle bambino baby quilt!
Thank you!
This is my 3rd one.
I'm so glad to hear that it's helpful! I love binding with Cuddle fabrics. --teresa
Thankyou for showing the binding on cuddles I’ve been paying to have my cuddle binding finished I’m going to do my binding now that you showed me😊
Hi, it’s so helpful that I decided to do it! Backing and binding with Luxe Cuddle Hide and a cotton top. Your two tutorials on these were very helpful; you’re a great teacher! Thanks a lot! 🌸🌸
i want to make a quilt for my great grand son, they want it to be an outdoorsy theme with all kinds of animal prints, Deer, moose, antelope, that kind of stuff and made with flannel, on one side and the cuddle Minky on the other side, should i preshrink the flannel and the cuddle Minky first , before i cut anything? also can i put batting in between ? if so what batting should i use ? thank you so much this will be my first time doing this not sure what i am doing thanks for all the help you can give me
Can I embroider on cuddle fabric? If so what stabilizer and thread should I use? Love your tutorials, so helpful. Thank you.
Yes! You'll want to use a lightweight tear-away stabilizer for the bottom and a water-soluble stabilizer for the top. We use Sulky brand stabilizers. You can use whatever embroidery threads your machine prefers. (-Teresa)
Where did you get that little needle wood handle at because I have long nails and that would help me so much.
You are very good at details especially for beginners. What is the reason you went with the 1-3/4” binding different than normal?
The 1 3/4" binding allows us to use a single layer of Cuddle and top stitch along the raw edge for a nice finish. -teresa
How wide is the binding strip?
Do you recommend putting the binding in dryer w/wet wash cloth after cutting it? The cuddle 3
You absolutely can, but if I am using Cuddle 3, I usually just shake it off really well and go from there. :) --teresa
When cutting the binding, is it cut on the bias? Thanks so much for helping.
No it is cut width of fabric.
Might be a silly question but I'm kinda a beginner with sewing machines can u use a generic brother sewing machine n what stitch would be best on these machines?????
You just use a straight stitch at at least 3.5mm stitch length and a walking foot. Check out our 7 Tips video for more info!
Hi Teresa! So... I'm using 505 spray - for the first time. Do I need to wash the item before I use it to remove this product? Apologies if the obvious answer is yes 😕
Yes, you'll want to wash it to get the sticky out, but it's fine to use before you wash it. :) --teresa
@@ShannonFabrics Thanks so much for verifying this and the tip that I can go ahead and use it first.
Can you tell me why you don’t just use a regular straight stitch on the final side of binding?
We recommend using a zig zag because it is easier to hide the stitches that way and it's difficult to get a perfectly straight seam on the knit fabric. It can be done, but I've found it is easier for most people to do a zig zag. --teresa
What are the tools u are Using can you give me the names of
Does it matter what kind of thread you use for a baby quilt, cotton or polyester? thank you
Teresa Coates suggested "Sew Fine Superior" thread. What is that?
Sorry, I forgot to mention, I am sewing on cuddle fabric.
Would love to see a video with at least a lap quilt size piece of cuddle, since many people struggle with using a large piece of minky on the back of a quilt...a piece this small is easy to work with comparatively and tho the technique is good, no one is actually making anything this small. The stretch in cuddle fabric is difficult to use for backing a quilt .
Thank you for your suggestion. We are scheduled to do a a large bed-size quilt in March, but we have also done the StripThrow, which uses 60" long strips and the large Self Binding Blanket, which uses a 60" x 72" backing.
Since I've found that cuddle luxe hide seems to have more stretch in one direction than the other, would it be adviseable to cut the binding so that it will stretch less?
All of our Cuddle and Luxe Cuddle fabrics stretch much more width-wise than lengthwise. We use that stretch to our benefit when used for binding. Try not to stretch it as you sew, but the stretch comes in handy around corners and when combining the tails. (-Teresa)
What’s the serpentine stitch
I still can’t find the tutorial for the cuddle critter count blanket. Link please
You can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/RKU3g0U6oqQ/v-deo.html
How wide do you cut the binding strips?
We cut them 1 3/4".
What’s the serpertine
It is the S-shaped stitch and is available on most sewing machines.
How wide do you cut the binding?
I didn’t hear Teresa say either. It looked like 1 1/2 inches when she had it laying on the cutting mat.
A later post said 1 3\4
Doesn’t the zigzag show on back of blanket
If you catch it just at the edge it will hide in the fibers of the binding. If you miss the edge and the zig zag falls onto the backing, you will see it, but the softness is what matters. :) -Teresa
I found this to be incredibly helpful. May I make a suggestion? (Please don’t take this personally as you truly do a wonderful job on the video’s), but the “okay”’s and “um”’s became very distracting. (When you’re joining the two different type bindings - is where it is really noticeable).
umm.ummm.ummm,..ummm
