Quilting Hack - Elmer's Glue Binding Tip

Quilting Hack - Elmer's Glue Binding Tip
Oh no we need some sound
I’m confused. How do u put it on the mat? Paper side down?
Great idea
your video is timeless I haved learned since your video, about creating an embroidery file from using an svg file to further embellish your iron on.. This and cutting of fabric makes it the best machine ever,
This is expensive and time consuming to do. Comic book boards online come in 100/pack for about $36. That's 36 cents a piece. Plus the comic book boards are archival, which protects the fabric.
II've been using foam board for my fabric, but I cut it to 12" tall which lets me simply fold my 44-45 quilting fabrics from the store in half lengthwise then wrap it. That leaves me with a little bit of the foam board to rest on my shelves rather than the fabric and I don't have to make that extra fold to get it on the board.
Is the "rotary blade" the blade that comes with the Cricut Explorer Air 2? Will this same Cricut model also cut through fabric? Thank you!
Good hack! It wouldn't bend like comic book boards sometimes do. Don't throw the small piece leftover from cutting the foam board. You can use it to wrap binding on. 🙂
I love this, thank you :-)
I tried this hack. Awesome. Thank you. I really appreciate and needed this.
Sound is low
I use Comic Boards those keep me really organize
Great idea!! I'm definitely going to Dollar Tree tomorrow to get some of these foam core boards!!
use the smaller piece from cutting 9" long pieces for binding
Thank you for the video but I wish you could have zoomed in on exactly where you applied the glue.
Thanks. I folded the way you did around a ruler, pulled the ruler and then made a stack and put into my basket on the edge. This way I can see all the colors like you. I need to put my fabrics out of sight for some reason. I get weird seeing all my unused fabric all the time, lol. I think I love it too much.
Thank❣️ You ❣️ Great Tutorial❣️ Helped me create my 1st Lucy Bird Gnome 🎉 Too Darn Cute 💖
Use your trash pieces for holding binding or leftover ribbons or trim.
This is very helpful for a beginner quilter like me thanks.
Hey Lucy bird with that last small scrap of foam board don't throw it out, use it to wrap binding,lace etc.❤
Crazy . I just thought about using one of these a couple of days ago.
I do the same only using my ruler. It’s easy to slide out and I don’t have that extra bulk. No to mention the added expense. I have too much fabric to stand on end. My shelves are deep enough to make two rows so I just stack mine. Folding fabric like this with a consistent size is so helpful to keep organized. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Volume too low
Your voice cannot be heard
If you Live in a wet and humid climate DON'T USE FOAMBOARDS ask me how i know lol... The foamboards sweat against your fabric and give them mouldy spots etc ... i have gone back to comic book boards for small 1 metre.. larger fabric 2 metres and over I have gone for cardboard or the fabric bolts from fabric shops or ebay
Thank you for the tip. I will have to try this. I guess I'm off to Dollar Tree tomorrow.
Why not just use carboard from cereal boxes, Amazon packaging...etc.?
I use the free large boxes from the post office
Love the idea but I have 2-3 yards of all fabrics
Hello! I hope you had an awesome day. I was busy in my sewing room all day and didn't finish anything but had fun and filmed with a very talented sewing partner. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead! Thanks for sharing your video, time and talent.
Happy sewing! Sometimes it's just fun being "busy" in the sewing room even if nothing gets finished :)
Great idea! I use comic book boards, because in the long run they are less costly.
What about larger amounts of fabric? What size do you use?
Thanks for mentioning Dollar Tree to get the foam board! Very affordable.
Have you tried it with dbl sided iron-on adhesive? Like a Light wt Pellon product? (not my idea…)
Fabulous, thank you ❤️🌺
My favorite thing in vacation Bible school was the flannel board. I am going to LOVE this. Lol
your volume is not very good i can hardly hear you
These are probably the cutest gnomes I’ve ever seen! And you’re marketing strategy is genius! Thank you for sharing! Just subscribed! 🥰 I will be purchasing the kit and pattern!
Lucy, Nice way of keeping my faric organize. Love Doller Tree! Ann
This is a great hack! Thanks for sharing!!
Ty for sharing this inexpensive tip to store my fabric…will this work w thicker fabrics too or should I use something stronger than foam
Greatest idea I’ve seen so far
Can I do this with the Cricut explore air 2?
I've been looking and looking for ideas and this is perfect! However, I do have a question about size for the bigger pieces. What if you have 2+ yards of fabric? Would you use the same size or maybe go bigger? What have you done?
The volume is too low
Lately I've been using Wonder tape to hold my binding down before machine sewing it, but I also like the glue method. Haven't tried Elmer's but I tried glue sticks before and that was a hot mess. Wondering if a mini glue gun might get a similar result as the Elmer's?
I am new to Cricut and just got the Maker 3. Do I have to use a rotary blade to cut fabric, or will the blade that came with the machine work?
You would need to use the fabric blade.
I glad I stop by to look at you doing the quilt design board.Thanks
Is foam board acid free?
Such a cute project for Halloween! Thanks for posting!
So cute! Thank you for sharing!
