Thank you Jenny. After my son was killed in Nov of 2012 and after I could breath again, I wanted to do something special for the grandkids and his wife. I googled how to make a quilt, and there was Jenny's beautiful smiling face. After watching you for several days, (non stop) I thought "I can do this." You make it look so easy. As I found out, it isn't that easy. Well, I made 3 quilts in 12 months. Oh, did I tell you I didn't even own a sewing machine? Yep, my hubby took me down and bought me one, even tho I can't sew diddly. Well, now my 2 daughters, 2 sisters and the other 2 grandkids want one. What have I done? Jenny, you have been a HUGE part in my healing as well as the rest of his family, as they have his pictures on a quilt. I just wanted you to know what Missouri Star and your posts have done for us. Thank you dear lady. Thank you Missouri Star.
I started quilting when my oldest son graduated from high school and joined the Marines. Self taught. It is such wonderful therapy. God Bless you and your son.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Quilting is very therapeutic . Plus, seeing what you created is like nothing else, even if it can be so difficult to figure things out. I’ve made my grandchildren quilts as well. Thank goodness we have these tutorials to guide us. Jenny has come to my rescue as well with finishing the binding. It’s a beautiful thing when it works …and mine did . Enjoy quilting,👍🏻
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Decker Nickolas i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Decker Nickolas HOLY **** IT REALLY WORKED :O Literally got access to my instagram account details after ~ 45 minutes of using the site. Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
Are you kidding me?! After fooling around with The Binding Tool over and over...seeing this! Jenny, hug that woman who showed you how to do this! NEVER take down this video!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I have seen tens of these tutorials, and this woman is the best! She isn't condescending, she doesn't make me feel silly for being a beginner, she wants it easy and simple just like I do! I just love this instructor! Down to earth and to the point! ❤️❤️
Watched this video on a Sunday while the hubby was fishing. I agree with Jenny, Hallelujah and the angels sang! I was able to get a binding on! Thank you so much for this video! Amen!
Jenny, please don’t ever stop filming quilting videos!!! 💗 You have taught me so much and I’m so grateful!! 💕🌸 May God richly bless you for all you’ve taught us!! 🌻🌼
Jenny you will be the only one I watch when doing anything like this. I am left handed and when I watch someone right handed I just can't get it. Also how to sew the binding together at the end is amazing. I'm leaving a little more room so I know I can do it. Here it is 7 years later and we are still watching you. God bless you and Merry Christmas.
Binding my very first quilt this morning, a Christmas gift for my 86 year old dad. I'm nervous but this tutorial gave me the confidence I need to attempt it! Thank you Jenny!
I love this binding tutorial. I, too, watch it every time I go to do a binding. I couldn't do it without you Jenny! Thank you so much. The last binding I just did went on like butter.
I review this tutorial every time I'm going to bind a quilt. It's been invaluable for me and your delivery is so great, Jenny. Thanks for being you and doing these great videos! They have made quilting a joy instead of an experience in frustration!!!- Steph Green
I hope and pray women like this will always exist. I just love the homelyness of the entire process. It takes quite a bit of intelligence to get all the fine points of quilt making or just sewing. My mom was self taught. She couldn't read or write, but she made quilts and simple clothes, curtains, pillowcases, etc. She looked at a picture and made her own patterns. At 65 I'm starting on my first quilt and will make one for each of my 3 grandkids with God's will and favor.
Thank you! I love that you are left handed. So am I. With you, I don't have to turn everything around in my head. It's interesting that you cut right handed.
Thank you very much for your tutorial, it's very clear, so I was able to bind the quilt for my good friend. Without your tutorial I wouldn't have made it. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪.
It doesn't matter how many quilts I bind, I have to come back here every time or I do it wrong. I always do the mitered corners backwards because I'm dyslexic but Jenny can walk me through it and as long as I pay attention, I get it done. Nicely. Thanks, Jenny.
Jenny please please never take this video off utube!!! Every time I get to my binding I rewatch this video, and every time I relearn how to do it. Thanks so much Love from Ontario Canada
After watching this video about 10 times, I was able to bind my king size quilt! I hadn't sewn this size in over 25 years. You were a lifesaver today! Thank you!
Every time I get ready to bind a quilt I watch this. It's great. You'd think I'd remember at some point, but I'm not there yet. I hope Jenny never takes this away
You are not alone, Ladies! I review this every single time also. After we have put months and sometimes years into creating a quilt, the very last thing we want to do is mess up the binding. So Jenny, PLEASE DON'T EVER MESS WITH THIS TUTORIAL!!!!!!!
Excellent tutorial, I've been quilting and sewing for more than 50 years, but still need refreshers, and this lady and her tutorials are where I always go for a reminder on how to do something.
This is seriously the best binding tutorial! No matter how many quilts I make, I ALWAYS come back and watch it. I’ve been watching this video over and over for years now. You are the best!! My quilting hero! ❤️
Yes!! PLEASE DON'T EVER TAKE THIS TUTORIAL DOWN!!! I've watched it every time I need to make a binding even for placemats I made! It's MORE than helpful!!! Thank you!!!!
After quilting since 2007, you have shown me a new awesome method to sew the corners off. Previously I have stopped 1/4 inch from the end. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Dearest Jenny, You made this look so easy. It took me 5 tries, 2 bouts of tears, one 2 year old temper tantrum which involved me throwing my quilt, 3 more times watching this video and FINALLY I have my binding on my quilt. Thank God for you and your endless patience and joyful manner - you make me feel like I can do anything.
I bookmarked this video a few years ago and whenever I am ready to bind a new quilt, I watch it again. The camerawork is excellent and the video is WAY easier than reading directions for binding a quilt. Thank you!
The BEST! Simple, precise, do-able, easy to follow, I watch and I do it. Cannot get better than Jenny! Her humor makes me chuckle... easy to listen to, and a little humor goes a long way in learning new things. Thank you, Jenny! We love you!
what a GREAT tutorial!! one of my friends in my quilting group told me to look to youtube for a tutorial for putting a binding on my quilt. Well this was the first one that popped up, and I have to say, she did an amazing job showing you from start to finish, every single step there is to putting your binding on your quilt!! And she spoke in easy to understand terms, made sure you could see up close what she was doing, at each new step in the process; just overall a great tutorial to watch. I will definitely save this video so that if I ever need to refer back to it, I won't have to go searching again!
I always find Jenny to be good at description! I have been quilting for a long time & have always had difficulty with "ending" the binding! Everyone has a "simple" way but this is by far, the easiest I have ever seen! Thank you, Jenny!! I love Missouri Star.
I have finished several quilts in the past 2 years and have watched this video every time. I am always uncertain when it comes to closing the binding but you are always there to help and reassure me. Thanks
Wow! Do you know that you are the first person I have ever heard say that if you are machine binding you are supposed to sew from the backside. That's what I do now I sew from the back and machine bind. Thank you for this. I am so glad you to go back and watch many of your past tutorials. I am even using some of your past patterns. Thanks Jenny!🥰😉
I love watching Jenny’s tutorial,, she spoke clearly and I can understand it very well! I learn so much and easily. Thank you so much. May God bless you!
I just finished binding a quilt I made for my daughter. I watched the video several times until I felt confident to do it myself. Thank you for making these videos available to those of us who are needing the support you offer!
Absolutely the best quilt binding tutorial ever! I'm a novice quilter and using this method, I have had perfect bindings every time! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Tiny pieces make perfect pillow stuffers! I save ALL my tiny pieces!! And maybe you can offer bags of them for sale. I remember years ago seeing bags of scraps for sale. I wish I had found this video sooner! Thank you for sharing!
The best binding tutorial by far! Thanks so much, Jenny - your thorough and clear instructions are a Godsend for someone who’s just starting their quilting journey.
This video is so helpful! I don't quilt enough to remember all the steps, so every time I start a quilting project I come back to check this video as a reference. And Jenny is a delight!
I have come back to this video often to help me with my binding. I find it so helpful. Two tips I’ve found helpful in my beginner's binding journey . . . Experiment with different size widths to find the one that works best for you. Mine is three inch for most things. Second, I machine sew both sides of my binding and going very slow helps me sew a better binding. When I first started, I went too fast for my skill level. I don’t have the eyes to hand sew and I don’t like how long it takes on even lap size quilts. So, I machine sew.
I just love Jenny :). She's so great. I always try Missouri Star first when buying fabric or quilting supplies online because of Jenny Doan. I'm a self taught quilter and her videos have been beyond helpful. Thank you so much Jenny!
LIFE CHANGING! Thanks for this. I am about to do my first binding, and now I'm excited and looking forward to it, rather than feeling intimidated and inadequate! I never in a million years would've figured out how to do this so easily or with such perfect results. Thanks especially for all the different camera angles, esp. the extreme close-ups.
I have watches this video many times and it's helpful every time and I very much enjoy Jenny and her chatting along with the instructions, thanks again Jenny for all your help
I don't know why I bothered to watch 15 other video's on how to do this. I should have come to you first :) I enjoy your tutorials. I am off to bind two quilts. Thank you Missouri Star Quilting Company and thank you Jenny.
I've never quilted before, but I wanted to make some mini mug rugs out of mask scraps. This video showed me exactly what I needed to know to finish them off nicely. Thank you!
Thanks Jenny!! I had never ever done a binding after many years of quilting. The time finally came so I watched this video following each step, plus your video on hanging sleeves. I was pretty nervous but stepped through the instructions and it turned out beautifully. I still need to do the hand stitching, but enjoying the after glow of success with no picking. Thank you so much!!!
I just did my very first binding. I used the technique you described for connecting the ends. I was anxious it wouldn’t work, but it worked beautifully! Whew!!! Love your instructional videos! Super helpful
I've made numerous quilts but I learn from y'all still. One of these days I'll finish my binding without looking for this video again to remind me how. Works everytime!!!
OMG! I have always hated doing the binding, that is until now! I tried your methods, both the corners and the ending. Perfect! The big leap of faith was cutting the binding after overlapping 2 1/2". Where has this been all my quilting life!! BTW I love your tutorials. Working on a smaller version of your curvy log cabin
I worried about committing almost 17 minutes to something I've done a dozen times before - BUT - totally worth it. Another great video by MSQ. Love these videos. Keep them coming.
Thank you for a great tutorial. I have been doing exact same method as you but I am also left handed and sew down in the other direction. I watched a clip by someone else who showed leaving the batting wider than the quilt top when trimming. Never seen it done that way before, so it was good to have you confirm, the only way I learnt is done by experts. Nifty little needle threaded too.
First, I love you, Jenny!!! Went to one of your seminars in Greensboro, NC this past August and was thrilled to meet you in person. You light up the room with your smile and personality. Ok - I revisit this tutorial every time I have to sew a binding on one of my quilts, because I just don't get it. After reading a lot of the comments here, I am soooooooo glad that I'm not the only one who has a mental block about how to do this. I also start and stop the tutorial many times, rip out the seam A LOT, and then the light goes on and I get it! Biggest problem is how to turn the fabric, join and not twist it. I'll get it one of these days,. Thanks, Jenny, for all of your tutorials. I've watched so many and have learned so much.
Thank you, Jenny for making this an enjoyable and super learning tutorial!! Although I've been quilting for years, I'm a self taught quilter and missed a few tips along the way. You were a pleasure to watch and I really was happy you kept it "real". You even had me chuckle a few times. Thanks a bunch.
Hi Jenny! Thank you for all your informative and interesting sewing tutorials. I basically learned how to quilt watching all your videos. This one in particular has been a constant 'go-to' for me, it's the best binding video (and way to make and attach binding) ever! Even after all these years, every time I finish attaching the two end pieces of my binding I always say..."and the mystery of binding is solved" hearing your voice in my head. Thank you so much for sharing and illustrating these helpful sewing techniques.
I am so sorry that you have lost a loved one with whom you shared the joy of sewing, and was a sewing mentor, as well as a grandmother. She has obviously given you a great legacy!
This is THE tutorial I watch every time I go to bind off a quilt. I don't get to quilt as much as I'd like and forget the details in between times and this tutorial has always been there for me and the technique has never failed.Thank you Jenny, and Missouri Star Quilting for such a useful bit of education.
This may be an older video, but….THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You are the first person I have found who actually specified how much fabric to cut away from the binding when you are joining the ends together. After two unsuccessful tries which left me scratching my head, you said “for a 2” wide binding, cut off 2” and I did that and my binding fit perfectly. So thank you again! Wendy
Whenever I need to know how to quilt, bind or whatever I always go to your videos. They explain things so well and I know exactly what to do. Thank you so much Jenny.
Thanks Jenny! I have the same problems with seams going the wrong way so now I know how to avoid that. Also I just did a pillow kit that said to make straight binding. I didn't know to sew the strips together on the bias at the seams (the few things I ve made so far called for bias binding). Eventually, I hope to get the rules down and remember them and just sit down and sew! Love your videos and your projects.
Thank you so very much for this tutorial. I had to unpick the last part of the binding 3 times - but by golly I got it done after watching that last part of the tutorial 4 times. THANKS so much Jenny Doan! And Missouri Start Quilt Company.
Thank you for the great tutorial on binding a quilt. It's been years since I've quilted, and this was good to review exactly how to finish the quilt that I worked so hard on. Thank you again!
Hi Jenny, just a a wee comment to thank you. I am quilting newbie after leaving work due to illness and was finding it hard to pass the time. I needed to do something while sitting as I cannot walk very well. I found you channel and thank the good Lord I did. You have been a Godsend and I have learned so much from you. I hope to maybe get as good as you. So many hugs from Ireland.
This tutorial has been so helpful! I am working on binding my first quilt and I feel so confident with it after working through this video!! Thank you for your awesome demonstration!
A quilt which was started in 2008, has been completed today!! (my very first quilt from beginning to end). Thank you so much for your very easy to follow and very informative tutorials - couldn't have done it without your help.
This is my go to video for bindings. I always refresh myself and use this technique anytime I putting on a binding. So far it has worked out perfectly every time. Thank You.
Jenny, I was having a terrible time trying to figure out the mitered corners and how to end the binding. I watched your video 2 times and BINGO. I got it. Thank you for all your great tutorials. They help so many of us l.
I've bound my first three quilts with a machine and have not been able to figure out how to do it by hand through the books I have so this tutorial made it so much easier for me so that I can hand bind since my next two quilts I've nearly completed are for other people! Thanks. I love Jenny Doan's giggly personality too. She definitely wasn't boring! :)
Jenny, if I was going to a deserted island and I one spot in my boat, you would be my honoured guest to go with me. I love your animated tutorials. I leant so much from you. Thank you for doing this .
I love your teaching videos. I'm not a quilter, don't like sewing, but my three daughters begged me to make them quilts. Where to start? Thank heaven for your videos.. they saved me! :) Plus, you are a riot to watch-- so cute!
You can never take this video off RUclips! I come back to it again and again every time I finish a quilt. I know exactly where the description of connecting the two ends of the binding is. I need this refresher course every time. Thank you!!!
OMG, that was amazing!!!! I am with you all the way, I will be able to bind my quilt without any crying and stomping my feet. lol, not quite that bad. My sister told if I needed to learn anything this was the place to learn from, of course she was correct. She is a master sewing teacher. Thank you for all the great advice. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
I have just now heard the "Bells and Whistles" I can't believe connecting the binding is that simple. I have probably put binding on 25 quilts, and I ALWAYS struggle and have to do ever about 5 times. Why hasn't someone told me to measure the binding before? WOW, I LOVE you. I am so excited now because I am just now ready to bind my grand daughters Christmas quilt today. This means it will actually be done by Christmas. :) haha. I love the way you explain things. I also am left handed. Maybe that's why I can understand you so well. :) Merry Christmas, this was the best gift I could have received.
So, last year I listened to a "Without Fail" podcast that featured the Missouri Star Quilt Company. What a joy to search for binding tips and find one of your videos. I hope your business continues to thrive.
Thank you Jenny I love all of your videos but this one I have watched over and over again. In fact, every time I need to do a binding, I watch it again for review. If I ever get to Missouri, I will seek out your shop and thank you in person for all the great tutorials that you have provided. You are an awesome woman. Susan

Same here! I rewatch every time. The best binding tutorial EVER! 😃
I do too! 😀
Me too!
Me too
Same here! Great video!
Thank you Jenny. After my son was killed in Nov of 2012 and after I could breath again, I wanted to do something special for the grandkids and his wife. I googled how to make a quilt, and there was Jenny's beautiful smiling face. After watching you for several days, (non stop) I thought "I can do this." You make it look so easy. As I found out, it isn't that easy. Well, I made 3 quilts in 12 months. Oh, did I tell you I didn't even own a sewing machine? Yep, my hubby took me down and bought me one, even tho I can't sew diddly. Well, now my 2 daughters, 2 sisters and the other 2 grandkids want one. What have I done? Jenny, you have been a HUGE part in my healing as well as the rest of his family, as they have his pictures on a quilt. I just wanted you to know what Missouri Star and your posts have done for us.

Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Decker Nickolas i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Decker Nickolas HOLY **** IT REALLY WORKED :O Literally got access to my instagram account details after ~ 45 minutes of using the site.

Totally agree with you. Very natural, skilful and inspiring. Usually she also makes me smile.
I agree with you all the way. I’d love to meet Jenny ❤️
Jenny rocks!
She’s the best! I love when she says “ just zoom along the edge!”
I am a beginner as well and I couldn't do it without her and my Mom!!!!
Watched this video on a Sunday while the hubby was fishing. I agree with Jenny, Hallelujah and the angels sang! I was able to get a binding on! Thank you so much for this video! Amen!

Me do. Just finishing a quilt "All Stars" for my grandson. Now on to pillowcases using my extra fabric.
At least I am not the only person who does that.
I watch this each time to refresh myself before I bind. The machine binding one is really useful too. Thanks Jenny 👍🏻
Me too.
As well as I.
Jenny please please never take this video off utube!!! Every time I get to my binding I rewatch this video, and every time I relearn how to do it. Thanks so much Love from Ontario Canada

How are you doing today?
Dearest Jenny, You made this look so easy. It took me 5 tries, 2 bouts of tears, one 2 year old temper tantrum which involved me throwing my quilt, 3 more times watching this video and FINALLY I have my binding on my quilt. Thank God for you and your endless patience and joyful manner - you make me feel like I can do anything.
Ha ha ha Kathy I'm hearing ya!!!! Glad to know I'm not the Only 1 that struggled!! Yes I agree Jenny you make it seem so easy!!! lol
We're so glad that you were able to do it!!! :) Jenny is very patient... ;)
I've cried in front of the sewing machine more than I've ever cried before in my whole life!
I bookmarked this video a few years ago and whenever I am ready to bind a new quilt, I watch it again. The camerawork is excellent and the video is WAY easier than reading directions for binding a quilt. Thank you!
I'm doing my first ever quilt! I'm doing all my learning via youtube. These video tutorials are my go to. Thank you!

I’m a fellow lefty and your videos have helped me so much! It’s hard to find a lefty with quilting videos!! Thank you!

I just finished binding a quilt I made for my daughter. I watched the video several times until I felt confident to do it myself. Thank you for making these videos available to those of us who are needing the support you offer!
Every day comes with renewed hope and new opportunities, make sure to seize them! Have a nice day!
Absolutely the best quilt binding tutorial ever! I'm a novice quilter and using this method, I have had perfect bindings every time! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Brilliant. The least complicated straight forward way to make binding for my quilt. Thank you
Tiny pieces make perfect pillow stuffers! I save ALL my tiny pieces!! And maybe you can offer bags of them for sale. I remember years ago seeing bags of scraps for sale. I wish I had found this video sooner! Thank you for sharing!
Lights, bells and whistles indeed! Thank you Jenny!
It will
The best binding tutorial by far! Thanks so much, Jenny - your thorough and clear instructions are a Godsend for someone who’s just starting their quilting journey.
This video is so helpful! I don't quilt enough to remember all the steps, so every time I start a quilting project I come back to check this video as a reference. And Jenny is a delight!
😂 I keep coming back again to this same video myself! Ha ha!
Thanks. I have a quilt that I pieced 26 years ago. I finally got the quilting done and now need to bind. You have taught me a lot.
I have come back to this video often to help me with my binding. I find it so helpful. Two tips I’ve found helpful in my beginner's binding journey . . . Experiment with different size widths to find the one that works best for you. Mine is three inch for most things. Second, I machine sew both sides of my binding and going very slow helps me sew a better binding. When I first started, I went too fast for my skill level. I don’t have the eyes to hand sew and I don’t like how long it takes on even lap size quilts. So, I machine sew.
You are HANDS DOWN my favorite tutorial person. You've given me so many "Ahh Haa- Light Bulb going off Moments! Thank you.
I just love Jenny :). She's so great. I always try Missouri Star first when buying fabric or quilting supplies online because of Jenny Doan. I'm a self taught quilter and her videos have been beyond helpful. Thank you so much Jenny!
LIFE CHANGING! Thanks for this. I am about to do my first binding, and now I'm excited and looking forward to it, rather than feeling intimidated and inadequate! I never in a million years would've figured out how to do this so easily or with such perfect results. Thanks especially for all the different camera angles, esp. the extreme close-ups.
I have watches this video many times and it's helpful every time and I very much enjoy Jenny and her chatting along with the instructions, thanks again Jenny for all your help
I don't know why I bothered to watch 15 other video's on how to do this. I should have come to you first :) I enjoy your tutorials. I am off to bind two quilts. Thank you Missouri Star Quilting Company and thank you Jenny.
I've never quilted before, but I wanted to make some mini mug rugs out of mask scraps. This video showed me exactly what I needed to know to finish them off nicely. Thank you!
Thanks Jenny!! I had never ever done a binding after many years of quilting. The time finally came so I watched this video following each step, plus your video on hanging sleeves. I was pretty nervous but stepped through the instructions and it turned out beautifully. I still need to do the hand stitching, but enjoying the after glow of success with no picking. Thank you so much!!!
I have to re-watch this with every quilt.... I don't think I'll ever remember it
You're not alone. Let's hope Jenny's tutorial is always available 😊
Me too, I have to watch it every time!
I just watched this for the nthteen time. I find it the best bidding tutorial and easy to follow. Thanks, Jenny.
I just did my very first binding. I used the technique you described for connecting the ends. I was anxious it wouldn’t work, but it worked beautifully! Whew!!! Love your instructional videos! Super helpful
I've made numerous quilts but I learn from y'all still. One of these days I'll finish my binding without looking for this video again to remind me how. Works everytime!!!
Joyce Burrill EVERY SINGLE TIME, RIGHT!!!
Yep, same here! LOL
Same here. Did it again today.
Me too
Just watched this video again for the Nth time! :)
OMG! I have always hated doing the binding, that is until now! I tried your methods, both the corners and the ending. Perfect! The big leap of faith was cutting the binding after overlapping 2 1/2". Where has this been all my quilting life!!
BTW I love your tutorials. Working on a smaller version of your curvy log cabin
I worried about committing almost 17 minutes to something I've done a dozen times before - BUT - totally worth it. Another great video by MSQ. Love these videos. Keep them coming.
Thank you for a great tutorial. I have been doing exact same method as you but I am also left handed and sew down in the other direction. I watched a clip by someone else who showed leaving the batting wider than the quilt top when trimming. Never seen it done that way before, so it was good to have you confirm, the only way I learnt is done by experts. Nifty little needle threaded too.
Thanks you for this tutorial like you said heard it a couple of times but clicked today. Thanks.
First, I love you, Jenny!!! Went to one of your seminars in Greensboro, NC this past August and was thrilled to meet you in person. You light up the room with your smile and personality. Ok - I revisit this tutorial every time I have to sew a binding on one of my quilts, because I just don't get it. After reading a lot of the comments here, I am soooooooo glad that I'm not the only one who has a mental block about how to do this. I also start and stop the tutorial many times, rip out the seam A LOT, and then the light goes on and I get it! Biggest problem is how to turn the fabric, join and not twist it. I'll get it one of these days,. Thanks, Jenny, for all of your tutorials. I've watched so many and have learned so much.
Thank you, Jenny for making this an enjoyable and super learning tutorial!! Although I've been quilting for years, I'm a self taught quilter and missed a few tips along the way. You were a pleasure to watch and I really was happy you kept it "real". You even had me chuckle a few times. Thanks a bunch.
This tutorial is such a valuable resource. I love being able review it whenever I'm binding another quilt. Thanks!
Hi Jenny! Thank you for all your informative and interesting sewing tutorials. I basically learned how to quilt watching all your videos. This one in particular has been a constant 'go-to' for me, it's the best binding video (and way to make and attach binding) ever! Even after all these years, every time I finish attaching the two end pieces of my binding I always say..."and the mystery of binding is solved" hearing your voice in my head. Thank you so much for sharing and illustrating these helpful sewing techniques.
Jenny is marvelous. I’ve watched this, or her video with the binding tool, every time I do binding. She is a natural born teacher.
Hi Diane, how's your day going with you?
I’m getting ready to bind my first quilt- thank you so much for providing this video, I actually believe I can get this task done now. 🙂
Thank you so much Jenny! I was really stressing about binding my quilt and then you made it so easy!
This was extremely helpful! Thank you! Now that my grandma has passed, I cannot ask her anymore. I really appreciate this! All the best.
I am so sorry that you have lost a loved one with whom you shared the joy of sewing, and was a sewing mentor, as well as a grandmother. She has obviously given you a great legacy!
This is THE tutorial I watch every time I go to bind off a quilt. I don't get to quilt as much as I'd like and forget the details in between times and this tutorial has always been there for me and the technique has never failed.Thank you Jenny, and Missouri Star Quilting for such a useful bit of education.
This may be an older video, but….THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You are the first person I have found who actually specified how much fabric to cut away from the binding when you are joining the ends together. After two unsuccessful tries which left me scratching my head, you said “for a 2” wide binding, cut off 2” and I did that and my binding fit perfectly. So thank you again! Wendy
Whenever I need to know how to quilt, bind or whatever I always go to your videos. They explain things so well and I know exactly what to do. Thank you so much Jenny.
Thanks Jenny! I have the same problems with seams going the wrong way so now I know how to avoid that. Also I just did a pillow kit that said to make straight binding. I didn't know to sew the strips together on the bias at the seams (the few things I ve made so far called for bias binding). Eventually, I hope to get the rules down and remember them and just sit down and sew! Love your videos and your projects.
Wonderful tutorial. I watch it every time I have to bind a quilt.
Thank you so very much for this tutorial. I had to unpick the last part of the binding 3 times - but by golly I got it done after watching that last part of the tutorial 4 times. THANKS so much Jenny Doan! And Missouri Start Quilt Company.
Thank you for the great tutorial on binding a quilt. It's been years since I've quilted, and this was good to review exactly how to finish the quilt that I worked so hard on. Thank you again!
2020 found this tutorial this year. What a great help! I have bound 5 quilts using this technique. Thank you.
Thanks so much, that’s the most perfect binding tutorial ever and your way of explaining everything is just the loveliest. From Italy with love.
Hi Jenny, just a a wee comment to thank you. I am quilting newbie after leaving work due to illness and was finding it hard to pass the time. I needed to do something while sitting as I cannot walk very well. I found you channel and thank the good Lord I did. You have been a Godsend and I have learned so much from you. I hope to maybe get as good as you. So many hugs from Ireland.
I watch this tutorial every time I am about to bind another quilt. Jenny reassures and strengthens my resolve! Thank you Jenny!
Hi Holly, how's your day going with you?
This tutorial has been so helpful! I am working on binding my first quilt and I feel so confident with it after working through this video!! Thank you for your awesome demonstration!
A quilt which was started in 2008, has been completed today!! (my very first quilt from beginning to end). Thank you so much for your very easy to follow and very informative tutorials - couldn't have done it without your help.
Isn't that such a wonderful feeling? Love it!! :)
Congratulations
I like watching Missouri Stat Quilt. The make it loks simple. They swow lots of short cuts. Make hard petterns much more easy.
This is by far the best way to bind a quilt, it's so easy and take so much less effort.. THANK YOU
Faron Smith Glad you enjoyed it! :)
This is my go to video for bindings. I always refresh myself and use this technique anytime I putting on a binding. So far it has worked out perfectly every time. Thank You.
Jenny does a great job demonstrating how to bind a quilt. Please don't ever think about taking this tutorial off!!!
I tried this on a lap-size quilt and it worked THE FIRST TIME! I am so shocked and excited! Thank you so much!
+Susan Castelletti you are so welcome! :)
Hi Susan, how's your day going with you?
Thank you, Jenny. This tutorial is so understandable, I think I can do it.
Oh my gosh, the Stars just aligned on how to “get it together” on the finishing of my binding.
I Love You! Thank You Jenny Doan ❤️
Jenny, I was having a terrible time trying to figure out the mitered corners and how to end the binding. I watched your video 2 times and BINGO. I got it. Thank you for all your great tutorials. They help so many of us l.
Thanks to Jenny’s explanations, I succeeded to join both ends of the bias after it was sewn around the quilt. Real good quilting teacher.
I've bound my first three quilts with a machine and have not been able to figure out how to do it by hand through the books I have so this tutorial made it so much easier for me so that I can hand bind since my next two quilts I've nearly completed are for other people! Thanks. I love Jenny Doan's giggly personality too. She definitely wasn't boring! :)
Hi Victoria, how's your day going with you?
Jenny, if I was going to a deserted island and I one spot in my boat, you would be my honoured guest to go with me. I love your animated tutorials. I leant so much from you. Thank you for doing this .
Wishing a wonderful day to my amazing friend! Hope you find success and happiness wherever you go.
Hi Teresa how are you doing today?
I love your teaching videos. I'm not a quilter, don't like sewing, but my three daughters begged me to make them quilts. Where to start? Thank heaven for your videos.. they saved me! :) Plus, you are a riot to watch-- so cute!
+Jennifer Ericksen Thank you so much! You'll be a quilter in no time! ;) Let us know if you have any questions along the way!!
Jennifer Eri🐽😉🐤🕺👬👣👣👮👣👣👥cksen 😯
Missouri Star Quilt Company hh.
So do you make quilts now after making them for your daughter’s? Just curious 🤔
You can never take this video off RUclips! I come back to it again and again every time I finish a quilt. I know exactly where the description of connecting the two ends of the binding is. I need this refresher course every time. Thank you!!!
I just sewed my first binding on my first quilt. Thank you so much for this well done and informative video!
OMG, that was amazing!!!! I am with you all the way, I will be able to bind my quilt without any crying and stomping my feet. lol, not quite that bad. My sister told if I needed to learn anything this was the place to learn from, of course she was correct. She is a master sewing teacher. Thank you for all the great advice. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
Hi Shirley, how's your day going with you?
I have just now heard the "Bells and Whistles" I can't believe connecting the binding is that simple. I have probably put binding on 25 quilts, and I ALWAYS struggle and have to do ever about 5 times. Why hasn't someone told me to measure the binding before? WOW, I LOVE you. I am so excited now because I am just now ready to bind my grand daughters Christmas quilt today. This means it will actually be done by Christmas. :) haha. I love the way you explain things. I also am left handed. Maybe that's why I can understand you so well. :) Merry Christmas, this was the best gift I could have received.
Hi Welcome this beautiful morning with a smile on your face. I hope you’ll have a great day today. Wishing you a very good morning!
Every day comes with renewed hope and new opportunities, make sure to seize them! Have a nice day!
So, last year I listened to a "Without Fail" podcast that featured the Missouri Star Quilt Company. What a joy to search for binding tips and find one of your videos. I hope your business continues to thrive.
Hi Hilary, how's your day going with you?
Thank you Jenny
I love all of your videos but this one I have watched over and over again. In fact, every time I need to do a binding, I watch it again for review. If I ever get to Missouri, I will seek out your shop and thank you in person for all the great tutorials that you have provided. You are an awesome woman.
Susan
I just love your tutorials. I am left handed also and I am so glad to finally have someone that I can follow.
As one LEFTY TO ANOTHER, THIS WAS FUN TO WATCH! Thanks!
Bonnie Konjevich I just want to bind...not auditions😰
Every day comes with renewed hope and new opportunities, make sure to seize them! Have a nice day!
