This is an easy binding technique but there is only one layer of fabric right along the edge of the quilt. It would be OK for a wall hanging, table topper, etc., but how well is it going to hold up to use? If the batting is trimmed to 1/2" and enclosed when the fabric is folded over it would be a thicker edge.
Love the self bind quilt technique! I've made it with a larger binding for a baby quilt. This also makes it easy for those mitered corners!! Thank you Stacey and Niels for another great tutorial!!!
Boy! What a great idea! Thanks, Stacey. I am going to try and find a left compensating foot for my Singer sewing machine because I have trouble sewing a 1/8” SA that looks decent!😊. Thanks for all of your hard work. I LOVE your top. You look spiffy! Pat
You did a great job on this quilt and tutorial! I have used the self binding method on placemats and mug mats…only small items. I may have to try a bit larger project! Thank you!
Your original video on this method saved me on my granddaughters quilt. I would be so lost without your wonderful videos, Hun. Thank you for all you do for us.❤
Can't wait to make one of these! I love watching you do the self-binding technique. You make it look so easy. I've done it once and it turned out okay, but I'll have to keep practicing. Thank you, Stacey, for sharing all your tips!
Very nice technique. Thank you for the demonstration. I will definitely use this, as binding is not my favorite part of quilting! I do not have a compensating foot for my machine, so I use my Blind Hem Foot, (which also has a guide), with a straight stitch and it works out well. The needle must be positioned correctly though, so it doesn't hit the foot.
Hi Stacey. This was a brilliant tutorial. I love the way you did the quilting, I've never thought of doing it like that...thanks. Also the tip for setting the stitch length to zero....BRILLIANT!!! Love your videos!!! ❤
Such a great way to do self binding. I just bought a compensating foot for my Brother sewing machine - never heard of it but such a great feature. Your tutorials are so good and you give me so many great ideas.
I love your tutorials. Question - did you fold the binding to the edge of the quilt first and then fold it onto the top? Otherwise it would be a raw edge? I maybe not understanding that correctly.
Although an old sewer I’m a new quilter, please, why do you need such a large over/under lap of the backing fabric only to later cut it back to one inch for the binding? It seems such a waste. Many thanks Pat H.
Love, love, love your self-binding technique. Your instruction was "spot on". Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🤩

There’s two layers because it’s folded over. 😊

Hi....this binding idea is great. I've been following your other binding video which is awesome but I think I'll give this a try. Thanks ❤️
Awesome! This is a great technique when you need to finish a quilt quickly, also great for table runners etc.

I have used this method on two table runners and, as a beginner, is a great way to bind, for me. Thanks for explaining it in great detail.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🙏
I'm going to try this. The quilt is beautiful! Thank you!
Wonderful! Thank you for watching 🤩
I love your tutorials. Question - did you fold the binding to the edge of the quilt first and then fold it onto the top? Otherwise it would be a raw edge? I maybe not understanding that correctly.
Yes that's correct, fold and then fold again. 😊

You need the extra fabric due to the quilting process of the long arm. I’m sure someone out there can explain in more detail.
You could have used a little less, but it's in case things shift extra.
Sorry Niels, I spelled your name wrong.
No problem 😌
