I just finished a wall hanging with a scalloped edge. Last night I dutifully placed clips on the flange binding. My intent was to finish it the next morning. But I was so unhappy with the spot where the two ends come together. Woke up this morning. Remembered this video (I have shared it with my sewing/quilting group). Watched it. Proceeded to unsew a portion, make the “pocket” then stitch it back on. THEN took off all the clips & glue basted. Glue basting was definitely a game changer for the scalloped edges.
Very helpful! I have been sewing all my life. I was a natural but as i am agjng, my products are not as outstanding. I think the use of glue is going to help. I appreciate this lesson in how to use more up to date mediums to improve my slipping techniques. ♥️ Happy New Year 🎉
Thank you for this clear and repeatable process. I like that you instruct us to do the glue on the top and the bottom and then the sides. That makes sense, and the outcome is beautiful. I look forward to trying this on my next project, whatever that might end up being.
You didn’t see the back because it was flawed! If this method had worked, as detailed as she was, she would have shown us the backside. Play it at .25 when you get up to where she is about to turn it over and you will see most of the entire left side didn’t catch. So, guess it’s time to do a little hand stitching. 😮
Cute coaster! I never manage to line up the back of the binding properly, so while it looks lovely from the front it's all wonky in the back. I'll have to give this method a try & see if it works for me, otherwise it'll be back to hand sewing.
I had seen this binding process in an earlier video of yours, I think, and now it was the best explanation and demonstration! Thank you for making binding not so intimidating. Merry Christmas!
Just when I need to place a piece of cross stitch into “something”, this video came along! PERFECT! Thank you so much - wonderful tutorial - off to find rick rack! Merry Christmas 💕🎄❤️
I loved the part of the pocket for the binding! I’ve tried different ways to attach the ends, and this by far is the easiest. I was just finishing a Christmas table topper and I used this technique to finish the binding. Thank you so much merry Christmas. I just found your channel and I’m so glad. I just started adding a flange to my binding and I absolutely love it. I don’t know if you’ve done a tutorial for that but if you haven’t, you should. ❤
Love your tutorial. Recently I struggled with machine sewing my binding for a table runner. I usually hand sew it. But I want to be able to machine sew it for the convenience but it still needs to look neat. This might be the solution I am looking for. I love your iron. It is so cute. Where did you purchase it? What model is it?
what is your preferred binding width? When you have to join pieces as the binding is longer than WOF how do you do it? I use a special ruler ( corner clipper)but it always comes out wonky. ??? Suggestions please.
This is exactly the way I’ve bound quilts for years (except the “pocket” end). I started with the Roxanne glue ($8), then when the bottle was empty, I filled it with Elmer’s School Glue and a few drops of water. Probably have refilled it 30-40 times by now. Works the same, washes out perfectly. Have won two Best of Show awards using this method. Love it.
So cute, especially the diamond quilting. Do you have a link for that cute iron,, it's a small pink with a cute design (can't see the motif at the bottom very well) but so cute !!!!!!!!
I love the method but I’m still not sure how you can guarantee that the last stitch in the ditch will catch the back of the binding. I think a more sure way would be to do a close topstitch on the binding instead of the ditch and that would surely catch the back. Thanks so much for clear instructions and this is the cutest mug if ever.
So cute! Can you tell me what foot you used , not the stitch in the ditch one but the first one. Looks like you have a Janome? Looks like the one side of the foot is approximately 1/4”. Thank you!
Watched the whole video to see how it looks on the back after sewing on the binding and you skipped right over it...grrr. That's my hesitation with machine stitching binding, that the stitching on the back is uneven and misses catching the binding. If your method works, I'd be thrilled, but you didn't show the back side after you finished stitching on the binding.
This tutorial is only for binding a mug rug. I guess you meant struggling with binding small blocks. How do you bind larger quilts, that are lap or twin or queen or king size?
Lap, twin, queen & king size quilts are bound the same way, as mentioned in the video beginning. The glue helps to maintain equal binding on front and back and also helps mitered corners turn out amazing. 🧵
@@ThelittleGreenBean Why not show bind a larger quilt, to see the process of gluing70 inches of a side of a quilt on each side then 3 other sides. It looks simple on a six inch sample.
I just finished two large t-shirt quilts this week, both with edges over 70” and I glue basted the bindings, before stitching in the ditch from the front. I don’t do top/bottom and then sides, I just go continuously around til I’m back where I started. I also add binding clips every few inches as I go. It works great for large quilts, as well as the small projects! It’s quickly becoming my favorite method for machine binding when I don’t want to spend the time hand stitching to the back.
This is a handy tutorial to brush up quilting skills. Great for teaching new quilters, grandkids, or just making cute gifts for friends.
Thanks so much for sharing, I hope it’s helpful!

Very well demonstrated. You made it look easy and talked about problem areas.
Thank you so much! It really is a simple process, just takes a bit of practice!
I love this method of binding! I tried it, and it’s been so helpful and looks much nicer. Thank you for helping me with binding my projects! 🥰
You are so welcome!
Great video. Would like to have seen more of the back after sewing on binding. Thanks for sharing this method.

So cute! A great way to use up scraps for sure!
The glue basting will be helpful. Thank you. Such a cute ornament, too.
You are so welcome!

Super cute. Thanks for the great explanation on binding ❤
You’re welcome!
The method is same regardless of size. I too have found this to be a successful process. This video however was simple and clear.
That’s the way I do it also
Great tutorial! Thank you so much. I’m going to try this today!
I love the rik rak idea. Thank you so much for the idea example and inspiration.....
I’m so glad you liked it!

This design is sew cute even if it is a simple design. 💜
Thanks! It's so satisfying to finish a project and it's a really easy technique for a beginner.
Great tips & tutorial. Thank you! Merry Christmas to you, your loved ones, & EVERYONE🫶🎄🫶
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you too!
So cute
I can’t wait to try it on a quilt. Stitching by machine would be so much faster than by hand.
Thank you
I love your method 💕💕💕💕
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
Great video
Thank you
Great video. I enjoyed watching.
Glad you enjoyed it
A very good tutorial, thank you!
This is so helpful! Glad I found you. Thank you
I like to use glue to baste quilts too
This is adorable!
I can't wait to try the glue for binding.
Great job ❤
First time working with binding and mitering corners.. definitely need more practice… 😬😌 Thank you ❤
You got this! It gets easier with practice!
Cute coaster
Thanks a lot
Great tutorial! Thanks
Thank you. Great for presents.
Yes they are!
You should show more of what it looks like on the back, instead of a quick flick and a comment that’s it’s beautiful. I like to SEE front and back
The back looks really nice too! I just wanted to highlight the front.
Merry Christmas
So helpful!!😊❤
Very very cute. I also hate binding. Can I ask what sewing machine you are using. Thank you.
Love your tutorial. Recently I struggled with machine sewing my binding for a table runner. I usually hand sew it.

Thank you!
Adorable ❤
So cute! Thank you for sharing. Where did you find your cutting mat? I love the color!
T H A N K Y O U ! I Struggle with the 'other' way. Especially if it is with a smaller quilt.
Nice coaster
This is awesome! Do you use a 2” for binding larger projects & quilts? Thank you
I have used glue sticks but this looks better. Thanks.
what is your preferred binding width? When you have to join pieces as the binding is longer than WOF how do you do it? I use a special ruler ( corner clipper)but it always comes out wonky. ??? Suggestions please.
I prefer 2 1/4" I always make it longer than I need and trim off the excess
Is that a Hera marker tool? Very similar to a bone folder, which I use.
What kind of fabric glue do you use!❤️❤️🎄great tutorial!🎄

Thank you great.
That guiding footbwill move if u dont tighten the screw in the back
Where can I find that seam guide? Can it be used on any type of sewing machine or is it specific to the one you own?
This came with my machine
❤
So the trick is to use glue?
Pls final y!
Thighten the screw on the back of the guide or it will move
No it doesn’t. This just slides in

Of course it works, otherwise I wouldn’t use it every time I bind something! Give it a try!

The process is the same on a bigger project. Only the sides in between the corners are longer.
No, I mean binding anything. The process is the same!
