I used to use a long arm that I rented from a friend to do my Quilting with. I recently learned how to use my embroidery machine to do edge to edge quilting with beautiful designs. You might want to check out how to do that because it’s a lot cheaper than having to buy a long arm and it is so easy to do and the quilts turn out beautifully. I just found your channel and I love the table runner that you just made.
I love piecing my blocks individually, my choice of quilting is “Quilting As You Go”. There are tons of tutorial videos on you tube. It saves me a lot of money. Hope this helps especially if you do not have an embroidery machine.
I would have wrapped the back around as a binding, using 1 and 1/2 inch allowance to fold over twice. Much simpler and a glue stick makes it even easier to iron the binding down before stitching. It’s also stronger since it is part of the back fabric and there are less seams to fray or unravel.
Lol I have always wondered what it meant when someone says they are pressing it to the dark side 😂 it makes perfect sense now that I see it in that light hahaha I honestly thought something very different. Having such a good laugh now.
This is the Big Easy Quilting ruler Cheryl. There is a link in the description field below this video for where it can be purchased. I absolutely love it.

I like to trim the batting and the top piece before using the backing as a self trim as well. Is that cheating? I just have a hard time with small edging. I guess it's my inexperience, but it seems to work. Thank you for this video. I've gone Christmas crazy, I'm afraid, so this will help me use up a lot of my fabric!
Thank you for the suggestion Patricia 😊. lol, no it's not cheating. This method is not something I have tried as yet. It's never too early to start making gifts for Christmas especially when the year flies by as quickly as this one has.
Thought those would make lovely placemats, too!
I think that's a great idea Elizabeth, thank you 😊. We'll look at getting a video done for that.
I love your pattern instructions!! Makes me feel so capable ❤❤❤
Thank you Theresa 😊
Love the red/white one. So pretty.
Have to confess, it's my favourite as well.
Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!
I can listen to you all day! Thank you for the tutorial!
Thank you for your lovely comment 😊
Love the simplicity! Tomorrow is my day to make one of these!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Sherry, have fun 😊.

Thank you for the suggestion Claire 😊. I haven't tried finishing off a quilt using that method so I will give it a go in the future.
