    Hi friends! Today I’ll be showing you how to bind your quilt! There are several ways to go about binding your quilt, so today I’m just going to show you a couple of ways that I like to do it. I’ll also be showing you some tips to help you get your binding right the first time!

    ** IN THIS VIDEO YOU WILL LEARN: **
    *Create straight edge binding
    *Create bias binding (EDITED: True BIAS binding is when you cut your fabric on the bias as well as the ends of the binding strips so that you can bend it around curved edges easier. This tutorial shows you how to create binding that is joined on the bias. Sorry for any confusion!)
    *Machine bind
    *Hand bind (This usually means attach the binding to the front side using your machine, then hand sew the binding on the back side to finish it off.)

    I can't tell you the number of videos I watched before stumbling onto yours and finally getting a clear, concise explanation of how to attach my binding. Great camera angles and simple and direct instructions. You made me more confident going into this. Thank you!!!

    I know this video is 6 years old, but as a new quilter I watch a lot of videos and this one is one of the best I’ve watched. I love the way you explain (slowly) each step. I am also doing your BOM and I am learning so much. Thanks, Erica. 😊

      I have watched so many videos on attaching binding and this is by far the most clear. I had so much trouble attaching the binding on the diagonal and you finally explained it so I understand, thank you so much.

    thank you so much for these tutorials. i've watched the entire quilting 101 tutorial and you've really given me confidence that i too can make a quilt. i love the style of you're videos. you're videos are thorough and packed with pertinent information on the entire quilting process (versus glossing over topics at lightening speed). you have a natural way of teaching and offering encouragement. thank you once again for taking the time and effort to make a quality tutorial that we can all actually learn and grow from.

    Great tutorial. I remember my grandma piecing, quilting and binding her quilts by hand. What treasures my goal is to at least hand quilt a quilt on a frame, some day 💛. She kindly let me do a few of the cathedral window pieces when I was about 10. She probably didn't use them lol 😅. But, she did let me quite some on her frame. Cherished memories

    You are the best teacher. I am getting confident to quilt and bind my own quilt tops. I just finished my granddaughter’s quilt top and I
    Had it quilted because I could not get my machine to free motion quilt. Long story, but my pressure feet I used were stolen, but I just had it looked my arm quilted. I think it will look great though.
    Thank you so much for your tutorial ‘s and tips I’m definitely feeling better about but binding.

  • @kathrynmyer7209
    @kathrynmyer7209 3 роки тому

    So thorough! This is excellent. Making my first quilt on my own. Made a toddler bed quilt with a friend’s help about 3 years ago but that’s all the experience I have with quilting. I’ve made my 30 crumb/scrap blocks and have yet to cut and attach the sashing. Nice to look at what’s ahead.

    Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your video. It was simple, complete, and so very full of the information I needed. I love that you keep what you have to say to the point. Simple and straight forward makes things so much easier. I now feel like I will be able to bind my first quilt by myself--thanks to you!

    • @grandmalovesmebest
      @grandmalovesmebest 5 років тому

      Jewel Inger You are wonderful! I did my first binding on a table runner. It looked pretty good so I grabbed last years table runner and did that binding too! Now I'm ready to bind my first bed quilt. Thank you! I'm also grateful for your teaching method. I quickly snap off the verbose tube tuters. The wordier tuters get the more confusing to beginners and the more annoying to advanced quilters who are trying to learn a technique. Also, your video filming is great. Have you considered giving classes for tube tuters?

It is under the video on the right hand side of your screen.
