From my Mom:. Meant to thank you for not playing annoying music. You are quietly calm and it makes for a great learning environment. Great tutorial.
Thank you Bill 😊. I am happy to hear that your mum likes the videos. We do have a couple of recent videos that have music but all the older videos are music free.
Thank you once again! Couldn’t make quilts without you. Third grandchild quilt made. One more to go! At least for now.
Thank you for your lovely comment 😊. Four grandbabies will certainly keep you on your toes. Perhaps you would like to share some photos of your quilts on the website. Here is the link if you are interested www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/. We love seeing our readers projects.
I am a new quilter in Florida and your videos and clear instructions have saved me! Thank you so much! Your voice keeps me calm.
Thank you for your lovely comment Mary 😊. We have a lot of beginner quilting tutorials that are easy to make for someone starting out.
This is the Absolute Best Tutorial on doing binding I have ever watched!!!!
Thank you Bonnie 😊
I have to say, I have watched a zillion quilt binding tutorials, and this one is fabulous. You did a great job explaining everything in an efficient way!
Thank you for your lovely comment Sherri 😊
You are the best instructor 👩🏫 out there. You explain so well I learn so much from you and rewatch in case in forget
New subbie here. You are SO easy to follow. I love that there is no chatter, just teaching! Kate
Thank you for your lovely comment 🙂
You are a tremendous teacher. Oh so glad I found you.
Thank you for your lovely comment Beth. 🙂
@@alandacraft I hope to start my first jelly roll quilt soon as i find some cute jelly rolls with your help.
I can't thank you enough! I've never sewn anything until I recently learnt how to use a sewing machine. With your videos, I've already sewn several origami bags as gifts and my first jelly roll race quilt for my son. Thank you for your clear instructions and videos! You are a great teacher!
Thank you for your lovely comment Hazel 😊. I am so happy to hear that you like the tutorials.
Watched you video and learned a lot. By the way, love your accent and although I wore pink most of my teen years, I am not a fan of pink anymore….however I would give my eye teeth for your outstanding pink quilt! i real everything on Google, downloaded the app to make calculations easier and I than you from the bottom of my heart for your outstanding generosity and your clear and concise instructions……much love!
Thank you so much Mickey, I always love your comments 😊.
Thanks Miss Alanda! I’m a tad bit left/right confused so each time I brinda quilt, I bring up this video and I can do it correctly! Sometimes I have to put my fabric in the same direction as yours to make it work. I love the look and it’s so simple. Thank ya. All the best, Dk from Texas
Thank you for your lovely comment 😊. I'm so happy to hear that you find the tutorial helpful.
I love sewing but I have never done any quilting, thinking it was too complicated for me. But Ive stumbled on to your website and utube tutorials and oh my goodness your such a good teacher thank you so much. I now cant wait to get started on my first quilt. Deborah. 😃
Thank you for your lovely comment Deborah. I am so happy that you are joining the ranks of the crafty quilters. It's such fun to do. We have a number of really quick and easy quilt tutorials here on UA-cam and we also have the written instructions on the website, here is the link www.alandacraft.com/quilting-tutorials/. Enjoy :)
I have been searching for the best tutorial on how to bind quilts, and your tutorial has made it fun to bind quilts! Your explanations are easy to understand, and the videography shows exactly what to do! I can’t thank you enough!
Thank you for your lovely comment Peggy. :)
Excellent video. Thank you. I had no idea how to do a binding and watched a different video that I thought was good. Then I came upon your video and what luck for me. You show and explain everything so well. I sewed and rewound your video several times until I finished my binding. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your lovely comment Valerie. I am so happy to hear that you found the tutorial helpful 😊
GORGEOUS quilt
Amanda, I cannot express how ugh you have taught me! My beloved husband passed away 2 months ago and I completely lost all desire to quilt again, and I was a newbie to begin with. Tonight I began watching you again, and tomorrow I'm getting back to the sewing machine. Your gentle way of explaining has given me some of my mojo back! Thank you. I pray that I am able to stick with it. I desperately need to pull out of this terrible setback.
Dear Jo, I can definitely understand where you are coming from. My husband passed away on 20 July 2015, so the anniversary of his passing is approaching, always a tough day. I found that my craft kept me going through the dark days and its good to hear that you feel like getting back into your quilting. It certainly helps because you become so focussed on creating something new, and not that we ever want to forget our love ones, but we also don't want to dwell on our loss.
I had to have my precious 18 year old best friend (dachshund) this week and it nearly did me in. Today the vet sent me a beautiful card with her little paw prints stamped on it. Sad day, but God is good, and He will help me. Thank you for your kind words. And thank you for your spectacular tutorials. You are one of a kind, for sure!!
thank you for your words of wisdom... to add insult to injury, i had to put down my faithful and loving companion of 18 ears, my beloved Rosepetal, my dachshund. i miss her as much as Steve, even though I imagine that sounds ridiculous. Time will help to lighten my burden, and my good memories wiill overshadow the pain of loss. For that, I am quite grateful...
Great video that helped me finish a baby quilt that I am proud to give.
Excellent Kathy. We would love to see your baby quilt. Perhaps you would like to share a photo on the website. Here is the link www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/
Love your videos! HUGE respect from Wyandotte, Michigan USA!
Thank you Pamela :)

Thank you for your lovely comment Josephine. 🙂 Give the easiest quilt ever a go, it 's so easy to make www.alandacraft.com/2015/06/08/quilting-for-beginners-the-easiest-quilt-ever/
Oh my goodness!!! Thank you SOOOOOO much! You are a miracle teacher. I couldn’t have made my first grand baby’s quilt without you. I followed your directions to the tee and my binding came out perfect. Many thanks from Texas!
lol, thank you for your great comment. So glad it all worked out. :)
Alanda Craft of course! You deserve it!
You are by far the best person to explain quilting. Thank you! I have watched over 50 videos and yours are not only the easiest, they are also the quickest. Also, you have such a calming voice, you should look into reading audiobooks for children.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. :)
Thank you for this tutorial. You made binding a quilt seem as straightforward as sewing a seam. Pausing the video at different steps along the way, we were able to finish a quilt that had been giving my friend strife for several weeks. It is done now and looks beautiful. :)
Excellent, so glad we could help.
I love that you focus on beginners, some quilters on here automatically assume we're all seasoned seamstresses but many are not. However, you make it look so easy, and since I bought a new sewing machine recently, I can't wait to try this out, thank you. I hope to complete 8 before Christmas for all my grandchildren, so wish me luck, LOL
Thank you for your lovely comment Christine. Wow you have set yourself a task. If you start running out of time you might like to take a look at our easiest quilt ever tutorial. They are so quick and easy to make and you can run them up in no time at all. www.alandacraft.com/quilting-for-beginners-the-easiest-quilt-ever/
Easy instructions to follow. Beautiful quilt.
Thank you Linda :)
genius tip for the 45 degree angle!!! thank you!!!
Like the other ladies have said, you are a great teacher. Love your videos. I am working my way through all of them. So much fun.
By far the best binding video without using a binding buddy tool to buy....thanks
Thank you for this tutorial! You make it look so easy!!! God bless!
Thank you Carolyn. 😊
You are a wonderful teacher! :-) I am making my daughter a baby quilt and now I feel more confident. Thank-you!!
Thank you for your lovely comment Cindy.
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial! Because of arthritis I can no longer hand bind. You are an excellent instructor.
Thank you for your lovely comment Lorraine. So sorry to hear about your arthritis, it is such a debilitating condition. :)
This helped me tremendously! I am sewing my first quilt ever and I probably watched this 7 times lol. Thank you so much!
That's brilliant Heather. And don't forget to take a look at our Easiest Quilt Ever which has no binding. Quilting for Beginners - The Easiest Quilt Ever.
Good morning ☀️ Ms Alanda, thank you so much for your teaching and sharing your teaching of quilting.
Good morning Carolyn and thank you for your lovely comment :)
Thank you so much for making binding easy to understand . I have watched videos and tried to follow written directions and no matter what I saw I was so confused. It now makes sense and no more fear of binding. Again thank yo
Excellent Norma. So happy we were able to help. :)
FINALLY, binding by machine makes sense to me! :)
I used your tutorial today and bound my first EVER quilt ! Thank you so much. I absolutely LOVE the way you show how to figure out how much binding you will need to get the binding to be the exact size you need. It worked wonderfully.
Excellent Daria, thank you for the feedback. :)
Getting ready to attempt my first quilt and your method and teaching seems to be the easiest to understand. Thank you! :)
Thank you Pamela. We love seeing new quilters starting out. For a really easy quilt you might like to check out our easiest quilt ever, there's no binding, Quilting for Beginners - The Easiest Quilt Ever.
Tried it! Works perfectly! I'm hooked. I'll use this method from now on. Much quicker than hand stitching to the back! Thank you!
Have to admit Helen, I'm not one to hand sew, I definitely prefer this method. :)
Thank you Alana for an excellent tutorial. Your explanation is clear and easy to follow.
Thank you for your lovely comment Therese. :)
I love your videos!!! They are so conversational and easy to follow!!!! I'm a beginner quilter/intermediate sewer and you have taken some of the intimidation out of it! Thank you!!
+Christine Kaplanis Thank you for your lovely comment Christine. Our aim is to show easy ways to do things so that beginners to quilting find it fun and enjoyable, with no stress. Happy quilting. Oh and we'd love to see photos of your projects on our website in the future www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/
I love the way you join the binding, I saw some people do a straight seam but it is not as nice as yours!
It is a tiny bit more fiddly but I prefer the angle cut as well.
Thank you I watched several videos on binding I couldn't figure out what they did n I watched your video and as a beginner quilter I fount it easier to understand thank you
Excellent. I am so glad we have been able to help. :)
I just learned an easier way to bind quilts. Thank you so much :-)
thank love your tutorial ..you a wonderful teacher and your fabric is absolutely beautiful
I just finished a quilt. My first one in a few year’s and needed a refresher on binding it. Your video is fantastic! Thank you so much 😊
Happy we were able to help Brenda. :)
I love your videos. Directions are precise and easy to follow. I am looking forward to the next!
+Karen Ross Thank you Karen.
Love your teaching manner!....very patient!
Thank you Maree
Love it. Great clear instructions, thanks.

Thank you for your lovely comment Violet.

I love your work and explain so easily. Thank you and I am starting my first granddaughter a baby quilt.
Congratulations Debbie, and thank you for your lovely comment. :)
Beautiful.
Love the iron and the pink fabric ☺
Thank you Annette. We love the iron and have a review of it on the website, www.alandacraft.com/2017/04/15/oliso-iron-review/
Hello from Canada, love your accent and enjoy your videos very much.
+Debra Graham Hello to you over there in Canada. Thank you for your lovely comment Debra. Glad to hear you are enjoying our videos. I have a good old Kiwi accent even after many years of living in Australia.
Great tutorial! You are a wonderful teacher and I enjoy your videos. Thank you so much!
+SundaeJuly What a lovely comment. Thank you so much :)
Thanks for this tutorial. I'm extremely new to quilting and about to attempt making my first. I love basic looking quilts so will definitely be making mostly strip quilts
You will find these strip quilts so easy to run up and finish. Check out our easiest quilt ever as well, there's no binding required. www.alandacraft.com/2015/06/08/quilting-for-beginners-the-easiest-quilt-ever/ Good luck with your quilting, be warned though, it's addictive :)
Thank you Alanda, you're a great teacher! ;)
Thank you Chris. :)
Loved this Turorial! Thank you! Best one I watched yet!
Thank you Teresa 🙂
GORGEOUS fabric by the way ♡♡
I love your tutorials Wanda, I especially found your instruction on joining the binding very easy to understand, I have done it before but have always found it to be tricky. I haven't machine bound a quilt yet, as I always finished of machine on top and hand sewed the back side, (I do enjoy hand sewing the binding but its good to be able to machine bind both sides if need to get finished.💖
Thank you Shar. I not fussed on hand sewing myself even though it does give a quilt binding a lovely finish. I am always in a hurry to get my quilts finished, (they are usually last minute gifts :)
Love the fabric
Thank you Linda 😊. I thought it was nice and bright, which makes it ideal for a toddlers quilt.
Awesome video..easy to follow directions .. Thank You for sharing ..
Thank you Anita.
Beautiful
Thank you Beth 🙂
Woow! You make look so easy ! thank you!!
Believe me, it is easy Gracie. Give it a go on a small project to see just how easy it is.
Thank you! I learned so much from this one video!
+DianebelongstoChrist That's great Diane, happy we have been able to help.
This was so super easy to follow!
Excellent. Thank you Mary :)
Really perfect for my new grandchild!
Excellent Pamela. Congratulations on your new grandchild :)
Very good🌸
Looks great! Excellent tutorial, thank you! I would love a tutorial on how to use all the degree marks on your rulers if you could do that one day. The tip you showed about lining up the 45 degree mark on the binding strip was so great! I've never seen anyone do that before, and even if you are a seasoned sewer it's great to draw the line to make sure you get a beautiful straight edge on your joins like you did, so thank you for that lesson, I'm going to use that now :)
+Paula Sydney Thank you for your lovely comments Paula. We are in the process of videoing helpful tool tips using different craft tools which we will be adding in the near future. So stay tuned for those. :)
My very first time watching your videos and I have to say I love how you make things so easy and you explain in such a great way. I have subscribed to your videos and I know from what I have seen here, I will learn much more to make my quilting better. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful talent.Patsy Becker
Thank you for such lovely comments Patsy.
Love your video!
Thank you Glenda :)
I made it! it was just as easy as you made it look!!
Excellent Terry. We would love to see your finished project if you would like to share some photos. Submit Project.
Not sure what happened to the link here it is again www.alandacraft.com/readers-projects/
Another awesome video.
Thank you Maribel :)
Alanda Craft I made this quilt with binding and I love it 😍
Thank you so very much 💗
You are welcome Lynn 😊
merci ! merci !
+Armelle Armelle :)
I have this video bookmarked because I pull it up every single time I get to a binding task. You are a wonderful teacher and I know one when I see one because I have spent my life as an educator and I could listen to you all day long. I have a couple of questions....Is it best to use the walking foot for binding and what stitch length would you suggest? Joyce in Virginia :)
That is so lovely to hear Joyce. I use the default stitch on my machine. I very seldom change my stitch length. And I do find a walking foot helps when attaching the binding. I have an open walking foot which helps me to see where I am stitching.
Love the idea, tried using the 'binding tool' and was left with 1" excess fabric and had to move the seam of the mitre. I shall use your method in the next quilt, thank you
Glad to hear you liked the tutorial. Thank you for the feedback.
Hi there, I just found your tutorial you are GREAT, love your tutorial and the pink fabric is so pretty where do you get your fabric? you teach so nice. thank you
Thank you for your lovely comment Patricia 😃. We generally buy our fabric at our local Spotlight store here in Australia, although we also visit our local craft and quilting stores as well.
I loved your tutorial. It all makes such good sense. I followed it and got it all done, but what about the back? Do you have somewhere that shows us how not to get the wave or how far to pull to meet the stitch line? I am not happy with what I did and was hoping you have advice on machine binding troubleshooting? Thanks. I can't wait to watch and learn more from your videos.
This takes practice. If the seams are 1/4" then the binding should pull over nicely and sit over the stitch line. Use lots of pins and adjust the binding as you pin. Lay the quilt flat as you work so that the binding is also flat.That should help with any waves. I'm sorry but its a bit hard to help without being able to see exactly what is going wrong for you.
This is the first time I have seen your tutorial so well explained and a beautiful baby quilt could you please let me know batting you used thank you
Thank you for your lovely comment Sandra. We generally use Warm and Natural cotton batting. Here is a link amzn.to/2ElEQaT
Brilliant video makes binding feel less.scaru
Love your video but have a question. I am very new to doing bindings. When I do mine I am careful to use a full 1/4" seam allowance when sewing on the binding to the back. When I fold the binding over to sew on the front I end up with stitches showing in the back and it doesn't look very tidy as they can wander a bit... probably me.. lol. but is there a way to make sure the back is as tidy as the front? Thanks.
That is going to happen when you machine stitch. One way is to pin exactly where you want the stitching to be. But even then you can wander off and the stitching will show. One reason to use fussy fabric for the backing as the stitching doesn't show as much. Hand stitching is one way to ensure your stitching doesn't show. But I am way too impatient to hand sew. :)
Thank you for the excellent video. What is the Perspex thingy on the right side of the foot? Is it a fabric guide that came with the machine?
It's called a cloth guide and it was an optional extra we purchased for the Janome Horizon 7700 QCP machine, and you are right it is a fabric guide.
@@alandacraft Thank you.
@@alandacraft Would you believe this: I bought an 8900QCP about 4 years ago and this cloth guide came with it as standard. It's been sitting in the back of a drawer all this time. I finally fitted it last night and wish I had used it all those years. 😀
Hi! What is that clear plastic attachment you used in the end that held up the fabric while you were sewing?
This is a seam guide that came with Paula's Janome embroidery and sewing machine.
Do you have a video on how to incorporate a rod sleeve onto the back at the same time that you add the binding?
We don't have a video at the moment, Annette. but I have added it to the to do list. :)
I love this fabric, what brand name please, I know its older, but manufacturer name will help find something similar.
I'm sorry Beth I don't have the manufacturers name. It was fabric that we picked up from our local Spotlight store. Sorry I can't be of more help.
@@alandacraft no worries i will find something similar
