Thank you so much. I was struggling with my corners all the time it was so frustrating. Watched your tutorial and boom right at the first time it worked out perfectly. Where have you been my whole life. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
I come back to this video often..because I forget the process when I haven’t done it for a while. Great job with teaching us this binding method. Very thorough. Thank you.
I forgot how to do this so I appreciate you making this video. You are my hero. Happy 2023 and I pray you are mightily blessed this New Year. Barb from Tombstone
Thank you, Lisa. I watched several videos before I found yours. Your tutorial for the Easy Binding (specifically the mitered corners) was great! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for being honest about your goof because we all make them - right. Excellent how you showed how to make it work and it turned out lovely. I will make this soon. Great tutorial.
I appreciate your humility. I just finished a quilt and a doll quilt to match with a new binding technique with not very good results. Going to try this next. You’re a good teacher
I love this method, it could be used for all kinds of projects. The great part is I can use my kids school glue and not have to purchase special sewing glues. Thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas!
I love this video , and am glad to see the smaller edge. Sometimes I don't have enough either, and this helps me see how it would look. Plus learn how to do it.
This method of binding seems easy. However, I would like to see the back of your project after stitching all the way around the binding (last step). This is something that I find challenging, i.e. keeping the stitch from running onto the backing of the quilt, especially if the thread is a different color. Thank you.
I am a beginner trying to learn how to do this. I have watch several videos but yours is what I am having problem. Very narrow. Thanks. I will try. New subscriber here.
Great Demo and less than an inch is what some use. I just watched Shabby Fabric's demo on using the backing as binding, and she likes using less than an inch. So you are doing great.
So I am using VERY heavy batting (thinsulate) and that makes me wonder if I should plan on more than an inch for the binding. This is my first quilt, a gift for a friend who helped me very much when I moved by packing my overloaded craft room! We are both Harley riders and I was told by her husband she had a (Harley)t-shirt quilt someone had given her and then took back and she was very sad to loose it so this is the best present I can think of to give her! P.S. It's been almost 3 years since I moved and it's taken me this long to get the nerve to try this! You have made it MUCH less intimidating! Thanks!!
It's extremely difficult to answer your question without actually seeing what you have there :) I saw your post on my FB, so if you want to share some pictures I'd be glad to help
um, ok I have a picture but not sure how to post it here. I'll see if I can figure it out or post it on FB. I have kind of figured out the thinsulate compresses pretty well so I actually think the inch will be ok. @@TheQuiltmakerHomestead ok posted on your facebook 'mentions'
Great! I've been struggling with binding since I started quilting! Going to try your method today! Thank you! I love to make mug rugs. Your's is beautiful
Sometimes I use freezer paper on my ironing board cover to keep the glue residue off and if you iron it on shinny side down & it sticks in place & easy to change out when needed.
This is such a cool method! I love the option of being able to do my binding rather than the traditional way and I like the idea of not having to cut separate binding so it I can on turn it over so etc. I will save this video for the next quilt I make because I really want to use this method. thank you for the instruction!
Thanks for showing this! I love the glue suggestion. I just made my first self binding lap quilt and couldn’t figure out the mitered corners from the written instructions. I will be making another one and see it I can get this technique to work fir me. I will practice on a small working piece first. ❤️🧵
Thank you, Lisa! This is just what l was looking for! Have used backing as binding in the past, but the corners never mitered, and l was always unhappy with the result.
I am learning so much from your videos. Thanks. Love this pattern but am wondering in this video you used the stick glue in others like the t-shirt one you used the regular elmers school glue. Is there a reason for the change.
You can use both :) I like using the glue stick when basting and the wet glue when glue basting my seams....I have better control of the bottle glue when near the edge of my pieces.
I have a thick fleece backing on a t-shirt quilt. I test drove this method on scraps identical to quilt: Stabilized t-shirts, batting & fleece backing. I'm finding the fleece is a bit harder to press, manipulate and then sew. The corners are awful thick. What is your experience in using this method with a thick backing material? It works perfect with your cotton backing in the video. Would I be better off making my own binding out of a sturdy cotton??
Hi lisa, my mother started a quilt one where the blocks we're quilted as you go, just the blocks now I'm going to finish the quilt , but I don't know how to put the blocks together to make a whole quilt. Do you have a video to teach me how to finish this project.
hi Sharon! Unfortunately I do not have any videos on quilt as you go quilts, however I have seen a ton of them that may help! On UA-cam search joining quilt as you go blocks with sashing...and without....there are a few ways to do it :)
I'm not going to say no :) but me personally would not use minky as a binding, it's way to thick and I think you would struggle so much. Not impossible, but I would avoid it :) A larger quilt, I would quilt first then bind.
I love using this method (backing as the binding.) I need help with this method with a 120 degree corner. It is a table runner with the "points" on both ends. Any ideas how to do these corners when the backing is your binding? Thank you!!
when do you attach the backing to the Tshirts? I am no using the filling, just making the Tshirts with the flannel. I don't quilt it either. Should I sew the pieces together just with the tying yarn between the squares first or do I run a seam around the outside to bind them together making sure there is enough flannel to fold as the binder edge? Hope you understand what I mean. Thanks
I haven't tried with fleece, and fleece can be stretchier then cotton.....but I don't see why you couldn't do it keeping in mind that you'll probably need to be more patient and work with it more to get it right
Lisa, I have not talked to you for a bit and miss it. Is there a place where I can follow you every day or at least every week so I do not miss any of your video's? I am still thinking about the Bee quilt. ;-)
Cheryl Turman hello ♡♡♡ so nice to hear from you!! If you are on Facebook, look me up by searching Lisa Capen Quilts :) I am fairly active there posting a few times at least a week. Sometimes I do live videos there and share pictures of other people's quilts ♡♡♡
I haven't tried it with minky, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.....just check your iron settings and make sure you adjust it for the temp for minky :)
The idea and thought was good in this video, however the time spent on showing the measurement error and correction cutting was un-necessary. I would have loved to see this project done in a 1-2” edge so that the visual was so much clearer. This video would have been of greater benefit as a result. I hope you make another video on this tutorial.
I'd like to think that my videos have come a good ways since making this particular one....this is a more recent video and I walk through the self binding technique with a 1" edge: ua-cam.com/video/hGIjTuVy2kM/v-deo.html
+sandhya arvind hello! Will you be stitching the patch to make it stay permanently and just need a glue to keep it in place temporarily?? Or are you looking for a permanent adhesive without stitching?
Lisa Capen Quilts hi thanks for the reply. This is the first time I’m doing a project like this. I’m not so good at sewing. So thought of gluing the patch. Do u thick after a wash the patch would come off. Or sewing is a better option?
sandhya arvind I was at Joanne Fabric yesterday....I took a look at the fabric glues. There is a permanent fabric glue made by Liquid Stitch. I have not used that specific glue before, but other glue made by Liquid Stitch and liked the results. This would be a glue I would try if you don't want to sew the patch. You could always test it on an old shirt with an extra patch, put it through the laundry and see if it works :)
Again, Lisa, such a simple but great idea! Love this! By the way, I like your cutting board with the large 1" squares. Would you be so kind as to let me know where you bought it and the name of the product? Thank you!!
Great. Thank you so much. My husband bought me a cutting board (so sweet, right?), but he had no idea what I would prefer....so, I may invest in one like yours. Hope it helps my skill level grow closer to yours!!!
I think ypu should have done one right size for video. You spent too much time repeating..I had too little fabric..too small. Telling us how to do it.but the saying " not what i will do". I agree it helful to know how to fix if you make same error..but as to teach a technique start off correctly. Voice audio is good video is good.
Thank you for teaching everyone this amazing easy way to do the binding
I love , love , love doing binding this way. It saves so much time. Thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much. I was struggling with my corners all the time it was so frustrating. Watched your tutorial and boom right at the first time it worked out perfectly. Where have you been my whole life. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

thank you sooooo so much Emily!! I appreciate that a lot and the more you do your binding, the better you'll get I promise!
Lisa, I love all your videos! You explain things so we’ll and are so informative!! Thank you! Please don’t stop making us videos!!
Thank you so much for this. You saved me days of work and it looks so nice!
I love this method, it could be used for all kinds of projects. The great part is I can use my kids school glue and not have to purchase special sewing glues.
Thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much. I’ve been struggling with how to do this for ages. You’ve made it so simple. Thanks for sharing 😊
ugh i could have used this years ago! so glad i found it now, thank you my genius cousin! so needed this, currently doing nursing home lap quilts
I cannot tell you how helpful this was because I had the exact same problem and this is my first attempt at binding.
I am so impressed. Thank you for this tutorial.
I love this video , and am glad to see the smaller edge. Sometimes I don't have enough either, and this helps me see how it would look. Plus learn how to do it.

This is a great demonstration for doing the mitered corners for the "fun and done" quilts. I had a momentary brain lapse...thanks for sharing.

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Great tutorial. Very thorough and precise as well as easy to follow.
Great job Lisa. Love this technique I use it a lot and it saves me lots of time and maybe a little money.
Thank you so much :) I think you are right about the time and money!!
Thank you Lisa for this wonderful tutorial.
Sometimes I use freezer paper on my ironing board cover to keep the glue residue off and if you iron it on shinny side down & it sticks in place & easy to change out when needed.
This was exactly what I needed to finish off my mug rug. Thank you!
you are so welcome, glad this was helpful!
I use a wavy stick and it looks awesome. 🇨🇦

Working on the smaller projects first is a great idea, and you'll get the hang of it before you know it!
Great tip Lisa!
thank you. i enjoyed this video. your explanations are easy to follow...
Ivette Lopez I'm glad it was helpful!
I needed this rewiew
Thank you, Lisa! This is just what l was looking for! Have used backing as binding in the past, but the corners never mitered, and l was always unhappy with the result.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this good explenation, it sure helped me with my project. 👋👍💝
You are welcome 😊
I love this! Would this work with fleece backing? Could you wait to quit the layers after you’ve done this?
Very informative and helpful video, Lisa! ❤️ Thank you.
I'm so glad I could pass along the tips Bonnie! Hope you are doing well :)
I like the smaller binding.
MariaColon879 yes, actually for this small project it was just right :)
Thank you!😊
Very helpful!! Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Thank you sooooo much !

So glad this video was helpful for you! Thank you so much for watching :)
Thank you so much. Great video. xx
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Great thank you I will watch for them. Ivy
TFS! Would you do this the same way for a larger quilt? If so would you leave any batting in the seams before stitching down? Nm
Fantastic!!
I am learning so much from your videos. Thanks. Love this pattern but am wondering in this video you used the stick glue in others like the t-shirt one you used the regular elmers school glue. Is there a reason for the change.

Hi Amy, I would definitely do a separate cotton binding for this quilt :)
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead Thanks!!!!!
Yes I do
Lisa; Do you have a video on quilting .? That’s where I’m at today
Hi Sharon :) quilting the vintage heart mugrug? Here's a video: ua-cam.com/video/3rOVBNosP7c/v-deo.html
Thank you Lisa

Can I bind my t-shirt quilt using a minky fabric and no batting using this technique? Would I based quilt it first or after binding?

I haven't tried that yet, I'll have to play around with doing it to see some ideas....where there's a will...there's a way :)
Does the glue get all over your iron
How would this work if U had a velour backing? I do not want a double fold.
when do you attach the backing to the Tshirts? I am no using the filling, just making the Tshirts with the flannel. I don't quilt it either. Should I sew the pieces together just with the tying yarn between the squares first or do I run a seam around the outside to bind them together making sure there is enough flannel to fold as the binder edge? Hope you understand what I mean. Thanks
Hi Bernice :) Have you seen this video? It may answer some of your questions maybe :) ua-cam.com/video/UhnWN4ONApI/v-deo.html
Hi again Lisa. Will this work as well with using just the fleece backing for this type of binding?
I haven't tried with fleece, and fleece can be stretchier then cotton.....but I don't see why you couldn't do it keeping in mind that you'll probably need to be more patient and work with it more to get it right
How did you do the heart on your project? It's pretty!
In the playlist there is a vintage heart mug rug video where I make this.
Thank you for this heart pattern, do you have one for an Easter egg.

Ivy Boice hi Ivy, I'm working on St Patrick's day and Easter patterns :)
Hi Lisa, I only need to know the measurements. so I can continue. Thank you.
Susan Meyer the measurements are stated in the foundation paper piecing video for this mug rug
Lisa, I have not talked to you for a bit and miss it. Is there a place where I can follow you every day or at least every week so I do not miss any of your video's? I am still thinking about the Bee quilt. ;-)

What temp is the iron setting?
high
Would this glue stick method work with minky?
I haven't tried it with minky, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.....just check your iron settings and make sure you adjust it for the temp for minky :)

Hi, Im planning to do a sequin patch on tshirt. I can’t use iron on so is there any other way to make the patch glued on to tshirt.
+sandhya arvind hello! Will you be stitching the patch to make it stay permanently and just need a glue to keep it in place temporarily?? Or are you looking for a permanent adhesive without stitching?

Lisa Capen Quilts would definitely try thanks a lot for immediate reply
Wouldnt the glue gunk up your needle
using the iron to dry the glue..........no wet glue goes to the sewing machine :)
Again, Lisa, such a simple but great idea! Love this! By the way, I like your cutting board with the large 1" squares. Would you be so kind as to let me know where you bought it and the name of the product? Thank you!!
TheTXGal7 it's a Fiskars cutting mat, and I forget now if it was Joann's or Wal-Mart ♡
Great. Thank you so much. My husband bought me a cutting board (so sweet, right?), but he had no idea what I would prefer....so, I may invest in one like yours. Hope it helps my skill level grow closer to yours!!!
TheTXGal7 he had the best of intentions ♡♡♡ and keep going, you will get better and better!!
You could have cut the top down a little before you try to bind
What is the background noise?
Need close up of corner folds..can not see what your doing.
I think ypu should have done one right size for video. You spent too much time repeating..I had too little fabric..too small. Telling us how to do it.but the saying " not what i will do".
I agree it helful to know how to fix if you make same error..but as to teach a technique start off correctly.
Voice audio is good video is good.
Please check out my live stream from this past Friday, I review this technique, much closer and I believe I've come a long way since making this video
Too much background noise
Scroll on to the next video.........
Too much repeating yourself about your too small binding! I think we got it the first time. Annoying to listen to.
Thank you for your very honest critic of my video......best way to learn. Harsh.....but good hahahaaa........
Thank you!
