    As a newbie finishing off my first ever quilt, can't thank you enough for this! Just what I needed! No fuss, close enough to see what you were actually doing. Much appreciated!

    Hello, I just wanted to say thank you! I used your video as a reference and started stitching away!
    It's The first time I've made a Quilt and 😅 I lost track of time and accidentally spent the whole night sewing on the binding ❤😂. Literally sewed for a straight 8 hours, bar drink and stretch breaks. I'm off to sleep now, so I can wake up to my beautiful new Quilt!

    I am a retired teacher who also taught education courses at a local university. I mention this only support my high praise for these videos. The "Crafty Gemini" is an excellent teacher. Her videos are verbally detailed and visually packed with examples and warning of mistakes to avoid. I am high average in my sewing skills so I enjoy getting her ideas to combine or improve with what I think I know. Thank you so much for sharing your skills and creativity so clearly with the world!

    I watched 8 different videos on hand binding and yours was BY FAR the easiest to follow. I love the way you demonstrated two different stitches showing the difference in the results. You have a natural teaching technique and I always find your tutorials clear and informative.

    Every time I get this far on a project, I search out your video. Best "how to" for hand sewn binding ever! Thanks so much for posting. Really like the stitch and the miter treatment of whip to top, and burrow back through. Brilliant.

    I've paid hundreds of dollars taking classes and have yet to finish a complete quilt. This video just showed me how to get that binding down clearly. Can't wait to try it. Always love watching you're tutorials. Wish you were closer. Would love to take a class with you.

    Thank you!!! You make it very clear by showing exactly where the stitches go in and out! I watched many videos before yours, and they all just went too quickly and didn't show the close ups like you! This will help me finish my binding at a high level!

    I agree with everyone else, your tutuorials are great. I'm a beginner...almost halfway through my first one, which I did completely by hand (my new machine just came in the mail, yay!) You are so detailed in the way you show how to do things and you answer my questions as I'm thinking them...I love your fabrics of choice too, very funky! Nice accent too! Thanks for your help in making my first quilt.

    I’ve been working on a quilt for my niece coming in a couple months and I’m finally at the binding stage. It’s been almost driving me insane that I got through everything else with ease and now I’ve been looking for a quick tutorial on specifically this exact thing. It’s exactly what I was looking for and incredibly well worded. Thank you!

    I'm on my 5th quilt and now I have three videos about key quilting techniques that have become my "go-to's"...one to refresh me on how to machine stitch binding to the front of a quilt, another for making the binding "tails" meet evenly and now yours for hand-sewing the back. Very clear, good camera work, nice explanations and thanks for using the black thread so it's easy to see. Thanks so much.

I have often thought about hand sewing my binding, but never felt comfortable enough to do it, until I saw this tutorial. Thank you SO much! I am now going to finish off my sisters quilt with this technique. I'm very excited! I don't think I'll ever machine sew a binding on a quilt again! Blessings to you.

    Don't know your name but Thank you SO much for this wonderful tutorial! I discovered that is the blanket stitch in a miniature version. Which is what I've always used but into the binding for durability purposes. This stitch will last and does produce a durable and beautiful finish. Exactly what I've desired since I started quilting. Thank you again!!

  • @carolnewtonburns
    @carolnewtonburns 23 дні тому

    Thank you for using black thread and black needle! Also zooming in helped me so much!!! Also you repeated several stitches slowly, narrating as you sew. Now I know to push the needle through the backing -on other videos they didn’t explain that. Also, it is clear that I put the next stitch right in front of the last stitch. No one explained that clearly. I thought the meddle went in behind the last stitch. I appreciate your teaching skills! ❤

It appears that you and I use the same part of the brain- I like to hold the binding, quilt and needle on the same angles as you do. Nice even, easy commentary too. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

    About to do this on my first ever quilt and this is the first tutorial that I think is helpful! You have a great angle on the camera. The visual of how hard it is to see those black stitches really gives me confidence on how invisible these bites will be! I would have assumed the ladder would be stronger, and luckily I know better now! This quilt is for a baby, so I really want to make sure its the strongest I can do.

I watched your technique, took in your advice and have now tidied up the binding which looks so much better now and the stitches are barely noticeable! I think in future I will probably machine stitch the front of a quilt and hand sew the other side because I would have saved a lot of time and achieved a better result if I'd done that in the first place!! 🤣😂🤣😂
