I'm also posting a separate video for how to hand bind. However, the first two parts of this video apply to hand binding as well (making the binding and attaching it to the front of the quilt). You can find that video here- • How to hand bind a qui...

You are so easy to understand. Not a lot of word salad but very thorough in your instructions. I watched several vids about joining binding edges together but no one explained it like you did. I am going to finish my gmother’s quilt and start my first from scratch watching your instructions as soon as my new machine gets here. Thank you for the inspiration. I can see your passion in the quilts you make❤
This is the best binding tutorial I've seen and I have seen many. I just finished binding a quilt for my grandson using your methods. It was easy and fast. I love your tutorials. A scrappy trip Christmas quilt is next! Thank you
Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that!
You’re a great teacher! This is an excellent video! I’ve watched hundreds of videos and this is the best binding video I’ve seen. Everything was clearly described, explained and shown.
Thank you so much! I am so happy to hear that!
Excellent tutorial. I don't love that you skipped the step of ironing the binding in half as it seems you just end up with one more thing to wrangle while you're sewing the binding on. But regardless, it's always fun to see a familiar thing done a different way, as one never knows what one might learn. Thank you for preparing and sharing such a high quality tutorial, Jessica!
Thanks! I do my binding like this because I don't like having that hard line pressed into it.
Great video & instructions! Thank you😊
Ms. Jess I absolutely love the red white and blue. I have to go back and look for that quilt process. Love how yoh explain very thing. 😍
Thank you!
There is one more important final step before a quilt finished, adding a label. If you haven’t already, would you consider talking about labeling quilts. Congratulations on a really great beginner quilting series!
Correct!! I totally forgot to mention that here! Thanks ❤️
Your quilt is beautiful, your tutorials are excellent. Thank you 😊
Thank you very much!
Great tutorial
Hi Jessica, it was a joy to watch your sew along, you really explained everything so well. I’m looking forward to making this quilt and can’t wait for the next sew along. 😊
Thank you so much! I'm so glad to have you here!
Hi Jessica, I recently found your tutorials and really enjoy your techniques. I especially liked your hand binding method. I always hand bind my quilts but I have never used two threads because I thought it would be too thick but I can see by your example that it looks great and I love the way you do your corners and ending. I feel like I do my corners different every time because I find they don’t always come out exact. Anyway, thank you so much for your help. I also like your thoughts on flying geese blocks. I always find them very challenging and I don’t always get a good 1/4” at the bottom edge which makes me crazy. The result is that I “avoid” them 😢 but I love they way they look in a quilt so now I will just forge ahead and be brave and hope that the more I do the better I will get. I also loved your Nona quilt along. Thanks again, Elaine from New Hampshire 😊
Thank you for your message! I am glad you have found my videos helpful. For the geese, the more you make, the better you get! You can do it!
Excellent tutorial on making and attaching binding. I have been sewing for 35+ years, and I’ve made a few quilts for my grandchildren. Recently I inherited two quilt tops that were hand pieced by my great grandmother. I am going to finish them. I’m thankful to have found your tutorials so I can learn more before attempting to finish these precious family heirlooms. I’ll be watching your videos! Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching!
Loved watching and learning from you
Thank you very much!
Absolutely the best tutorial. Joining the binding ends at the end of the attachment 28:21 has always been my challenge but this method is fantastic. Thank you so much.
So glad this popped it. It’s exactly what I wanted to do to the Irish chain quilt and I would have done it in a long wasted time.❤❤❤❤
I'm glad you came across it!
I have been watching all your videos. Awesome @!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for taking time to produce these videos, they’re excellent! Easy to view, understand & learn from. I’ve been following you on IG for sometime but didn’t realise you had a UA-cam channel as well.
Thanks for being here too!
you did the best job showing how to join the binding. Thank you ♥️
You are welcome!
Love this quilt! So pretty 💕
Thank you!
Great video! I'm trying to do more machine binding but I'm terrible at it. Guess I just have to keep practicing!😂 Thanks for all of the tips
Yes, just practice. I remember the first time I did it- it was horrible! I remember saying- well I'm never doing that method again 🤣 Eventually I tried it again and I've gotten way better with practice.
@@jessica_dayon it's nice to know it's not just me!
That was excellent x
Beautiful quilt!!!
Thank you!
Very helpful video. Thanks!
Thank you!
I did the same way as you but I sewed in the ditch beside the binding on the front, I will try your way cause mine missed the binding at times.
Congratulations on a great quilt tutorial 😃🌺🦋 I would definitely use a stiletto, & I machine bind my quilt with binding on same way you did but stitch in the ditch next to the binding on the FRONT of the quilt, works beautifully 😊 I’m not into hand binding
Thank you so very much!
You're very welcome!
Sorry I missed this quilt along. Look forward to joining a future one.
Great!
Love your instructions ! Easy for me to follow. Great job
I love watching you. And you explained sewing this binding on with the machine so well, and the images are so good. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for all the quilting know how. I sew the binding onto the front then hand sew to the back. I’ll put my quilts away for the winter then hand bind. That extra warmth feels so good, it gets pretty cold where I live. I don’t enter into competition either.👍👍😊
Thanks for following along!
Loved this series, you’re an excellent teacher!
Thank you!
Thanks so much for your tutorial. This was my first quilt and although, not perfect, it turned out great due to your teaching technique!
That is wonderful! You are vey welcome!
Hello Jessica I am a beginner at quilting and I started watching your videos and I love them, but I cannot seem to find the charm pack that you are using to make this beautiful quilt. I want to do it just like you did it because I do not know how to match colors Thank you keep up the good work
Thank you! Sadly, you won't be able to find that charm pack anymore. Fabric is released from designers and then it typically runs out as people buy it and it isn't reproduced. But, not to worry, designers are coming out with beautiful fabric all the time. You'll definitely be able to find something you like out there now!
Thank you for showing this method of binding. Mine always looks sad and wrong. So I will try your method. Fingers crossed. Also, what is the name of the fabric you used? I love the colors.!
I'm glad you found it helpful! I don't remember the fabric. I know it was Lori Holt but I can't remember the specific collection. It might be in one of the first posts that I wrote for the quilt along though.
Great informative video Jessica. You have mentioned in the past that you sew with the pressure foot of your machine at 0 .... is that still the case when your machine binding?
Thank you! Yes, I do turn the presser foot down to 0 even when binding.
Thank you for such a great tutorial on binding! When I bind, sometimes my binding seems like it is twisting and I can’t figure out why this is happening. Do you have any ideas?
I have had that happen a time or two before in one section of my binding. I'm not positive but my guess would be that the piece wasn't straight on grain and when I tried to flip it to stitch it down, it didn't want to lay flat.
@@jessica_dayon Thank you!
What kind of thread do you like to use and what stitch length are you using on the binding?
I like Aurifil. I use around a 2 generally.
What batting would you recommend?
I love a bunch of different ones. One of my most frequently used is Warm 100 by The Warm Company.
