I know this is an old video, but I hate binding and finding this video and the new video on the binding tool made my day a lot easier! I watch your videos almost daily for quilting help! I quilted 30 years ago, but just baby quilts for my children and then never quilted again until 10 months ago..... Now I can't stop, lol, and it's because I have found patterns and videos! I never had a pattern 30 yrs ago! Thank you so much for everything you have done and everything you continue to do! I also love your online store, my husband doesn't, I spend to much! Lol
Ladies Practice Practice Practice!!!! I watched this tutorial about 50 times before I got it right and that was 5 yrs ago...Jenny Doan is the Queen of quilting! I don't think I have gone a day without watching her since I began yrs ago!..Now I can do it with my eyes closed almost. You will get there just don't give up! Love and Hugs from North Carolina
I just finished a table runner with this binding method, and them best praise comes from my 13-yr-old son: "Wait! Your're finished already? You NEVER finish something so fast!" Jenny, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the tutorials and enthusiasm you give to quilting and share with us!
Even a seasoned quilter need a refresher! I really enjoyed your corners technique and the options you gave. I am finishing my sister’s table runner today, and looked to MSQC for guidance. Thank you for all you do ♥️
Thank you so much for adding the closed captioning! I watch tutorials in bed when I can't sleep, and I have to keep the volume down so I don't wake up my husband. This tutorial was so helpful. I'm going to be binding my first quilt soon, and I'm a lot less nervous now.
I've been quilting for about a year now, and Jenny is my hero with all of her videos and tutorials. She taught me how to bind my quilts by hand, and now by machine. I have to laugh at the upgrade in production value since 2011, though. She's got quite the professional studio in her more recent videos. These oldies are great though, too! THANKS!
I have been quilting a long time and I hate binding.....until now. This is life changing. No wonder I've always hated it. I've been doing it the hard way. Ugh. Thank you sooooooo very much! This is wonderful!
My granddaughter started a quilt, did some and thenhad to go to school. I never had done a quilt before, After getting the pieces together, the problem was finishing it, I could not have finished it without your video. Thank you so much for all of your help.
my mother in law taught me the basics of quilting in a short period of time. she was snow bird, lived in ohio in the summer and florida in the winter. to make a long story short she died of breast cancer before i got to bind a quilt .ur video helped out a lot, thank u so much ! she made so many beautiful quilts and i am honored that she taught me. i'll be watching more of ur video's cause there is so much more i need to learn. thank you !
Several people have asked how to connect the two ends of the binding when you get to the end. This is so important. Please show them, or have another video. I know it gets kind of messy looking when you're trying to get those ends together, but we need to know how you do it.
Jenny, Just a note to say thank you for your binding tutorials . Just when I think I've decided to quit., I stop and watch you again and figure out what I'm doing wrong. Having several back surgeries limits my time at the machine but even more so with the hand stitching. My hand goes numb so I have to use the machine. If I lived near your shop I would be there just watching everyone and everything I can. I have lost my one love of nursing due to health reasons but I found quilting and with your help I am getting better. So thank you from California. Lori Ransom
I really enjoy your videos. They are so informative. Things I have forgotten I can just put in the search what I am looking for an there you are with all the information that I need. Your videos are the best because you take the time to explain and show exactly how an what you need to do to complete the item or items. Thank you and Missouri Quilt Company for all you do to help everyone. Would like to know if you sell any of the jelly roll packs or thee charm packs or any other items? Thank you again. My email is mymr.milo@gmail.com
I am so appy that I watched this. I took a class years ago and we ran out of time and were not able to bind the piece. I have wanted to finish it and was not really sure how to do it. This video has been so informative that I am confident that I can do it now. Thank you Jenny.
Michelle, perhaps you should have another look at this video. It is perfectly clear that a straight stitch (1/4" seam allowance) was used and the front was stitched using a serpentine stitch. All perfectly clear and explained by Jenny. I think that if everyone else gets it and you don't you may need to re-watch the video as I said and then perhaps you may pick up on the information you need to accomplish the binding so easily. Thanks Jenny for a great tutorial. Regards, Nita.
Gosh you read my mind. I was just thinking 'I want that ironing board'. haha You have the best tutorials. You are a sewing Goddess. I'm still watching you in 2019. Blessings.
One of these days Jenny I am going to get to Missouri to meet all of you and see the Missouri Star Quilt company. I lived in Missouri for about the first 3 years of my life and than was adopted out. I came back a few years ago to look at the towns I was in but didn't know anything about your shop. But I will be back. Keep it coming.
I can't do much hand sewing because I have bad hands, so the more I can do with the machine the better. This is a life saver! Now I can make a nice, proper quilt lol Thanks!
I have always sewn all my 2 1/2 strips together and then ironed them in half. But now I use your method of just iron my pieces then sew them together like you suggested. So much easier than trying to fold and iron a loooong strip. Thank you.
I love quilting, but the hand binding was driving my arthritis crazy! I am a teacher and since we are virtual this year I am typing more than ever! Being able to bindings on my machine will save my sanity! Thank you so much!
Jackie YOU ARE AWESOME!! love,love,love to watch your videos!!I Haven't had the courage to make a quilt yet,but I'm working on getting there.I've done a few items you videoed,the scarf using minky (daughters in law loved them)baby blanket for a friends new grand baby.My wonderful hubby (43 yrs) bought me a new machine that quilts I'm so nervous & excited about trying it out! Just retired a year ago so this is all new to me & I am having the time of my life. Again thanks for all your help!
Thank you Cherish for taking a minute to leave such a kind note!! Isn't it awesome what you are capable of!! Congrats on joining the ranks of the quilters, it's a fun family to be a part of :D
I am so glad I found your tutorial. I love to make baby quilts but I have done it the opposite way. Sewing to the front and hand sewing to the back of the quilt. It always took me 3 hours to hand sew that way. Thank you so much, I am looking forward to making more baby quilts with this shorter version.
Wow,these colors are just beautiful and very spring and girlie and I have 2 ladies that I know are having little girls a month from each other and one of them is having the very first girl in the family in thirty years I may try to embark on this my, my so darn cute.and thanks for the binding tip.I did my first and last forty years ago for a nephew , I hope that I can do a better one .That one wasn't bad ,I just didn't know what I was doing and I didn't and still don't have the fancy stitches that most of you get these days with the help of computerized sewing machines .Just lovely.
Your video's are amazing. I began quilting about a year ago and struggled so much until I found these videos!! Thank you for taking the time to teach us "newbies"!!
I have always shied away from machine binding and just sew it on the front and fold it over and hand stitch it on back. Fine for a few placemats but takes forever on a large quilt. This solves that issue for me!. Thank you for this wonderful video!
Thank you. I don*t have to go buy a book, look thru and read it. Thank you for this service. So amazing the internet. Thanks for using the internet for such great teaching. In 10 minutes I learned how to sew binding and am headed to the machine. xo
I always find binding to be the hardest part of the the quilt making process. This tutorial has made me see the light!! I think I can finally stop worrying about the binding. Thank you Thank you Thank you. I can't wait to do the binding on the quilt I'm working on that's for my daughter's first birthday in August!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have struggled with machine finishing my bindings, but now I know how to do it in the best fashion. Jenny, you are the best!
I tried my first mini-blanket with the help of a few of your videos. It is flawed very much but I couldn't have gotten it done without your help. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for all your helpful tips. Need to work on my corners a bit, but overall happy with my first quilt. All I learned was through the videos. You’re an awesome teacher.
Great tutorial! I've never watched a full video (for anything) and I was surprised by how I was so absorbed in this one that I didn't even feel like I sat here for 13 minutes! Thank you!!!
I have watched only a few of your tutorials, and I have learned so much. I learned to sew in high school, and I am retired now. Didn't realize I forgot so much, Thanks for teach this ole dog some new tricks
Thank you SOOOO much! I will never use store bought binding or have a messy binding again! These tutorials have given me a new found passion and excitement about sewing and quilting! You are awesome! Thank you for sharing your gift and love for quilting!
Jenny, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PATIENT SHOWING OF HOW TO DO THE BINDING> very grateful. You make it easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your love of quilting with us.
I keep watching this over and over again! I had to tear out some stitches a few times and repair two spots where I did not have it square to the fabric, but it is all fixed! Now to put the new binding on! I am sure I will stop the video several times again to get it done! Thank you for such a great tutorial!! I love your videos!
I have not been quilting for long and dread the binding part. Thanks for the great tutorial. I have just finished a baby quilt and you can be sure, I will be binding it by machine! You have given me so much confidence and I am now enjoying making baby quilts and tablerunners for charity. Roll on your next tutorial.
I am ready to bind a baby quilt and could not remember whether to us the bias and straight binding. Now I know what I will do. Have to start cutting the bias. UGH! Thanks for the video. I love all of your tutorials. I refer back to them often, just to keep on track.
Everything I've watched of you has been AMAZING. I've sewn my whole life (I'm old) but I have never quilted. With your tutorials, I've got the techniques and inspiration. I've started quilting now and I'm having a blast. It's great to know I have so much support from your videos. Well done!
I know this is an older video but the camera angles are much better (at least for me) than in other binding tutorials. Like to do hand sewing but for placemats or baby quilts, machine binding seems sturdier. Thanks for the help!
Thanks, zebraalice. I do know how to do it, and without a binding tool, but I see very few people who know how to do it so that you can't tell it from any other seam in the binding. Betty Cotton is the one who showed me how. I was hoping Jenny would have it on here.
Great binding tutorial. Most I've watched have been by placing the binding on the front and sewing to the back. I like the idea of doing it your way so that you know what the front looks like as you go. As usual, your videos are just awesome! Thank you!
You will never know just how much I have learned watching this video and some of your other videos .. I would like to thank u very much for the great way u teach and show in detail , that even me can learn .. Thank u Karen
Thank you SO MUCH for making it so clear as to how to put on a binding on a quilt...every other tutorial just didn't make sense!! I couldn't figure out how the binding fit so CLEANLY and neatly around the edges of the quilt!! No matter how many "How To" videos I watched!! Thank you for your great "makes a lot of sense to novices like me!" tutorials!!! (I'm going to go out and buy a sewing machine!!!)
I love watching and learning from your tutorials. My grandmother use to try and teach me as a child but couldnt sit still long enough. Thank you for doing these.
Oh my goodness! Mind blown! Thanks for a new trick! I've had trouble catching the back when I start on the front. Never thought of a decorative stitch! I just wish you would've flipped it over so I could see how the back looks at completion.
This is a great binding method for me. I have seen several that the binding was done on the sewing machine and they all was done this same way. Thanks for showing.
Thank you so much for this great video! My quilting has gotten so much better since I stared watching your tutorials. Lots of Love from Frankfurt in Germany! :)
I love this tutorial .Jenny , what would we do without you>we would not finish our projects that have been setting in olur closets forever ......Thankyou again for having the patience to teach us quilters-to-be.. Congrats again .. Please keep up us up to date.. Best wishes to you and your wonderful staff.
I did put binding on a pre-made quilt I got at Joann Fabric. I watched your video to see how to do it. Although it turned out ok, my corners were not pretty at all !! So I cut it all off with my rotary cutters and will start all over again ! I guess I will have to watch your video a few more time ! Thank you again. Dee
I so love your tutorials I have learned so much and I may do so many more quilts now because of the time you are saving me. You just saved me hours of work with this tutorial. Thank you so much.
I should have gone right to your tutorial. That’s exactly what I was looking for. I’m doing the exact same: sewing from the back to the front like you did. Had not thought of using a fancy top stitch. I might try it on a pce of fabric before doing it to the quilt. Thank you so much.
absolutely right. bind from the back to front and not the other way around. I don't use a double thinkness like she does, but 2.5 inches works out great anyway
I am making my first quilt project-- placemats. :). And it's all thanks to the tutorial on the "quilt as you go" method as well as this machine binding tutorial! AND I've pinned the quilting tutorial to pinterest! Thank you MSQC!!
Thanks, Jenny. I thought you had cut the strips on the bias. Boy, that makes me happy. I won't have to figure out how to cut the strips on the bias. I watched a video of how to make a tube and cut that on the bias. Now I won't have to do that. The corners are not curved. Thank you so much for answering me. Pat
OMG..EXCELLENT tutorial and I so much appreciate ALL the great video tutorials you do. I am loving quilting and sewing again...haven't done so in over 20+ yrs. but having seen the quilts, blankets, pillowcases etc...I'm BACK to sewing on a daily basis and lovin' every minute!
You are so amazing and inspirational. I have had to watch about 20 times to understand it as I get better. Please can you show how to put the wadding ( quilty bit) on the back of the fabric and secure it. I'm sure it's easy but I need to see how it's done before I do it and I can't find it in your videos. Thank you xx
I am so glad to have found your website. I was watching your binding tutorials and it so happens that I have three lap quilts ready to bind. I can see that from now on I will bind your way. I had only used the straight sewn strips not liking the results. Now that I have your tutorials I know that I will be a perfectionist just like you, Jenny Best regards from Roanoke, VA, Jenny
its so helpful and understand with closed caption and its really helpful and clearly whats binding.. Its amazing for all these peoples could watch your tube …
My goodness....I'm really learning so much and that sewing with the proper tutorials....it doesn't have to be hard. Thanks so much for all your video's.....I LOVE THEM!!
love your tutorials. i can't do a binding worth ANYTHING, so i was glad to watch your two tutorials on how to do it. you make it SEEM so easy. i sure hope i can finally do it. thank you!!
I just ordered the binding tool (yeah!!) but when I sewed it on the back & folded it over & stitched on the front by machine, it did not match up with the seam on the other side & looked like crap, lol!! I got about 1/4 of the way & decided I could not live with it & ripped it all out. I will stick it on by hand next. Not a great hand sewer but I'm going to go for it. Thanks for ALL your great tutorials!!
I've used this technique before and it is quick and easy. A good way to showcase decorative stitches and threads. The ric-rac idea is great! Keep the videos coming. Great ideas for both beginner and experienced quilters. Happy Sewing, Rae
Thank you so much for showing such an easy way of binding, the corners look great! You make it so simple to get a proffessional finish.Since I seen your videos Im hooked! Ive got 3 on the go, love your designs. Im a carer for my Dad due to the loss of my mam a year ago, you've helped me get through the loss. When I've been down Ive watched your videos. THANK YOU
Wow this is cool, I'm a beginner too and I'm binding my quilt and I've done a lot of research on how to bind before I start, your the first person to say we can use a different stitch to decorate the edge I LOVE it I can't wait to try!
I’ve had a quilt I hope to make my binding soon. I’ve only made quilts w/o binding so with your tutorial, I think I am ready for the challenge. My poor quilt has been waiting for 3 months for me to muster up the “ I can do it” attitude.
I know this is an old video, but I hate binding and finding this video and the new video on the binding tool made my day a lot easier! I watch your videos almost daily for quilting help! I quilted 30 years ago, but just baby quilts for my children and then never quilted again until 10 months ago..... Now I can't stop, lol, and it's because I have found patterns and videos! I never had a pattern 30 yrs ago! Thank you so much for everything you have done and everything you continue to do! I also love your online store, my husband doesn't, I spend to much! Lol
Ladies Practice Practice Practice!!!! I watched this tutorial about 50 times before I got it right and that was 5 yrs ago...Jenny Doan is the Queen of quilting! I don't think I have gone a day without watching her since I began yrs ago!..Now I can do it with my eyes closed almost. You will get there just don't give up! Love and Hugs from North Carolina
I just finished a table runner with this binding method, and them best praise comes from my 13-yr-old son: "Wait! Your're finished already? You NEVER finish something so fast!" Jenny, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the tutorials and enthusiasm you give to quilting and share with us!
Even a seasoned quilter need a refresher! I really enjoyed your corners technique and the options you gave. I am finishing my sister’s table runner today, and looked to MSQC for guidance. Thank you for all you do ♥️
Thank you so much for adding the closed captioning! I watch tutorials in bed when I can't sleep, and I have to keep the volume down so I don't wake up my husband.
This tutorial was so helpful. I'm going to be binding my first quilt soon, and I'm a lot less nervous now.
You should get the teacher of the world award-thanks for all the sewing videos-you lift me up with your great quilts
Isn’t she great ✅
I've been quilting for about a year now, and Jenny is my hero with all of her videos and tutorials. She taught me how to bind my quilts by hand, and now by machine. I have to laugh at the upgrade in production value since 2011, though. She's got quite the professional studio in her more recent videos. These oldies are great though, too! THANKS!

Jenny is the kindest teacher! So easy to follow her directions and you don't feel talked down to! So glad I found this, just what I needed!
Jackie YOU ARE AWESOME!! love,love,love to watch your videos!!I Haven't had the courage to make a quilt yet,but I'm working on getting there.I've done a few items you videoed,the scarf using minky (daughters in law loved them)baby blanket for a friends new grand baby.My wonderful hubby (43 yrs) bought me a new machine that quilts I'm so nervous & excited about trying it out! Just retired a year ago so this is all new to me & I am having the time of my life. Again thanks for all your help!
I have messed up so many bindings! I was doing wrong. I’m so glad I found this video!
... also attaching strips on the bias Jenny's way is very valuable to know. It's easy to do but gives a professional touch... many thanks!
Thank you Cherish for taking a minute to leave such a kind note!! Isn't it awesome what you are capable of!! Congrats on joining the ranks of the quilters, it's a fun family to be a part of :D

Your video's are amazing. I began quilting about a year ago and struggled so much until I found these videos!! Thank you for taking the time to teach us "newbies"!!
I would have also liked to see how you begin and end the binding strip to finish off attaching.
Great!!!! Great!!!!! You are number 1 in my book, I could sit & watch you all day long, & never get tired!!!!! Thank you once again.

Jenny,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PATIENT SHOWING OF HOW TO DO THE BINDING> very grateful. You make it easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your love of quilting with us.
OMG I love you.....FINALLY somebody else that binds a quilt with a sewing machine! I will say, i am not as good as you are.....
I keep watching this over and over again! I had to tear out some stitches a few times and repair two spots where I did not have it square to the fabric, but it is all fixed! Now to put the new binding on! I am sure I will stop the video several times again to get it done! Thank you for such a great tutorial!! I love your videos!

so helpful . i am making my first quilt for my grand-daughters first baby. now i know how to complete it neatly. thank you.
July 18 2022 I'm SO glad this video is still available! It is an enormous help for this newbie!
I am ready to bind a baby quilt and could not remember whether to us the bias and straight binding. Now I know what I will do. Have to start cutting the bias. UGH! Thanks for the video. I love all of your tutorials. I refer back to them often, just to keep on track.
I like these older tutorials better than the new ones. Great job on all of them, Jenny!

WOW I love this video. Binding has always been a mistery to me (I had my mom finish all my blankets). But with this!!! I will do it my self! Thanks!!!
I know this is an older video but the camera angles are much better (at least for me) than in other binding tutorials. Like to do hand sewing but for placemats or baby quilts, machine binding seems sturdier. Thanks for the help!
I am a new quilter. I finally know how to do a mitered corner! Thank you, Jenny!!!!
Thanks, zebraalice. I do know how to do it, and without a binding tool, but I see very few people who know how to do it so that you can't tell it from any other seam in the binding. Betty Cotton is the one who showed me how. I was hoping Jenny would have it on here.

You will never know just how much I have learned watching this video and some of your other videos .. I would like to thank u very much for the great way u teach and show in detail , that even me can learn .. Thank u Karen
Thank you for demonstrating this. I’ve been hesitant to try it because I didn’t want the back to look messy. Your method seems really great!!
Thank you SO MUCH for making it so clear as to how to put on a binding on a quilt...every other tutorial just didn't make sense!! I couldn't figure out how the binding fit so CLEANLY and neatly around the edges of the quilt!! No matter how many "How To" videos I watched!!
Thank you for your great "makes a lot of sense to novices like me!" tutorials!!!
(I'm going to go out and buy a sewing machine!!!)
I love watching and learning from your tutorials. My grandmother use to try and teach me as a child but couldnt sit still long enough. Thank you for doing these.
Oh my goodness! Mind blown! Thanks for a new trick! I've had trouble catching the back when I start on the front. Never thought of a decorative stitch! I just wish you would've flipped it over so I could see how the back looks at completion.
This is a great binding method for me. I have seen several that the binding was done on the sewing machine and they all was done this same way. Thanks for showing.
Thank you for this tutorial I have looked all over the internet and NO ONE shows the steps as well as you! Thanks again :)
Thank you so much for this great video! My quilting has gotten so much better since I stared watching your tutorials. Lots of Love from Frankfurt in Germany! :)
It's interesting seeing how your machines have changed over the years. Love your videos! Thank you.
I love this tutorial .Jenny , what would we do without you>we would not finish our projects that have been setting in olur closets forever ......Thankyou again for having the patience to teach us quilters-to-be.. Congrats again .. Please keep up us up to date.. Best wishes to you and your wonderful staff.
You always have great tutorials for quilters. I direct all beginner quilters to your videos because this is where I learned.
As a brand new quilter, this video has helped me SOOOO much. Thanks Joan
Thanks for the binding tutorial...wish you had shown how you use the binding tool, though. Love all your tutorials, Jenny!
Your tutorial on How To Bind a Quilt With a Sewing Machine is so good Jenny Doan that I watched it again. Thank you for sharing! Jo
Thank you for your tips! I now think I have the confidence to finish 3 quilts I started 3 yrs ago! Keep the tutorials coming. :)
Thanks Jenny, your tutorials are the best! This will help me finish a quilt for my son's birthday and mail it to him on time! What a concept...
I did put binding on a pre-made quilt I got at Joann Fabric. I watched your video to see how to do it. Although it turned out ok, my corners were not pretty at all !! So I cut it all off with my rotary cutters and will start all over again ! I guess I will have to watch your video a few more time ! Thank you again. Dee
I so love your tutorials I have learned so much and I may do so many more quilts now because of the time you are saving me. You just saved me hours of work with this tutorial. Thank you so much.
I should have gone right to your tutorial. That’s exactly what I was looking for. I’m doing the exact same: sewing from the back to the front like you did. Had not thought of using a fancy top stitch. I might try it on a pce of fabric before doing it to the quilt. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the demo, I’m gonna try it on my quilt that’s about finished. Thanks Jenny for all your knowledge!!! Susan from SC
I'm a newbie, this is the best tutorial I've seen on binding!
absolutely right. bind from the back to front and not the other way around. I don't use a double thinkness like she does, but 2.5 inches works out great anyway
I am making my first quilt project-- placemats. :). And it's all thanks to the tutorial on the "quilt as you go" method as well as this machine binding tutorial! AND I've pinned the quilting tutorial to pinterest! Thank you MSQC!!
Thanks, Jenny. I thought you had cut the strips on the bias. Boy, that makes me happy. I won't have to figure out how to cut the strips on the bias. I watched a video of how to make a tube and cut that on the bias. Now I won't have to do that. The corners are not curved. Thank you so much for answering me.

I come back to this video every time I bind a quilt, and I'm always so proud of my work. Slay, Jenny, slay!
OMG..EXCELLENT tutorial and I so much appreciate ALL the great video tutorials you do. I am loving quilting and sewing again...haven't done so in over 20+ yrs. but having seen the quilts, blankets, pillowcases etc...I'm BACK to sewing on a daily basis and lovin' every minute!
You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much. Made a baby quilt and turned out fantastic with all your videos. Thanks again.
Every. Single. Time I watch your tutorials, you blow my mind! Thanks for posting them!
You are so amazing and inspirational. I have had to watch about 20 times to understand it as I get better. Please can you show how to put the wadding ( quilty bit) on the back of the fabric and secure it. I'm sure it's easy but I need to see how it's done before I do it and I can't find it in your videos. Thank you xx
I am so glad to have found your website. I was watching your binding tutorials and it so happens that I have three lap quilts ready to bind. I can see that from now on I will bind your way. I had only used the straight sewn strips not liking the results. Now that I have your tutorials I know that I will be a perfectionist just like you, Jenny
Best regards from Roanoke, VA, Jenny
its so helpful and understand with closed caption and its really helpful and clearly whats binding.. Its amazing for all these peoples could watch your tube …
My goodness....I'm really learning so much and that sewing with the proper tutorials....it doesn't have to be hard. Thanks so much for all your video's.....I LOVE THEM!!
love your tutorials. i can't do a binding worth ANYTHING, so i was glad to watch your two tutorials on how to do it. you make it SEEM so easy. i sure hope i can finally do it. thank you!!
I just ordered the binding tool (yeah!!) but when I sewed it on the back & folded it over & stitched on the front by machine, it did not match up with the seam on the other side & looked like crap, lol!! I got about 1/4 of the way & decided I could not live with it & ripped it all out. I will stick it on by hand next. Not a great hand sewer but I'm going to go for it. Thanks for ALL your great tutorials!!
I've used this technique before and it is quick and easy. A good way to showcase decorative stitches and threads. The ric-rac idea is great! Keep the videos coming. Great ideas for both beginner and experienced quilters. Happy Sewing, Rae
Thank you so much for showing such an easy way of binding, the corners look great! You make it so simple to get a proffessional finish.Since I seen your videos Im hooked! Ive got 3 on the go, love your designs. Im a carer for my Dad due to the loss of my mam a year ago, you've helped me get through the loss. When I've been down Ive watched your videos. THANK YOU
Jenny, you are a wonderful teacher. I have learned so much from your tutorials. Thank you so much.,
I love the continual joining of the strips, saves some time. Thank you .
I have been just stuck with so many quilts and now I know how to do this. Thank you so much.
I was struggling binding from the front to back! I think you just saved my life! Thank you!
Thank You!!! I hate hand binding this is going to make my quilting experience SOOOO much more enjoyable!
Wow this is cool, I'm a beginner too and I'm binding my quilt and I've done a lot of research on how to bind before I start, your the first person to say we can use a different stitch to decorate the edge I LOVE it I can't wait to try!
I’ve had a quilt I hope to make my binding soon. I’ve only made quilts w/o binding so with your tutorial, I think I am ready for the challenge. My poor quilt has been waiting for 3 months for me to muster up the “ I can do it” attitude.
You can do it, Melissa! We're rooting for you!
once again MSQC has come good and given me the confidence I need..and what a great lady you are Jenny. Thank you
thank you for explaining the mitered corner so easily
