Nat, thanks so much for the tutorial. I have made bias binding in the past but your directions really take the stress out of cutting on the bias. Also, a huge shoutout to Liz! Your calm voice and comments add so much to all the videos you are a part of! You are a great addition to the Missouri team!
Thanks for that tutorial. Very helpful on doing the binding and which to use for curved projects. Natalie you are patient and I look forward to seeing your tutorials as much as your moms
Wonderful tutorial on bias binding with so many great tips! Once I sew my binding on one side, I do iron it to the back. I learned this a few years ago and it helps me control the hand sewing. Thanks you Natalie, Liz and MSQC staff!!!
We love Natalie & the entire MSQC family. So glad she has been helping us & newbies with these projects. She has helped me to stop being so nervous & now I enjoy making my crafts.
Natalie, this is the best video I've seen on cutting bias binding and calculating the length needed. That's been the part that has always confused me. I've seen several methods and they always seemed so complicated. Your instructions made it so simple!
I have avoided round and scalloped projects so far, just because I wasn’t sure about cutting my own bias binding. Thanks, Nat; you’ve really given me the knowledge and confidence to give this a go! ❤️
Thanks Natalie. I have avoided doing any binding that wasn't straight. You have shown us so well in your demonstration that I feel like I can actually do this, with a bit of practice. And I'm happy that these videos stay up for a good while. It was done a year ago and I'm fairly new to sewing, so once again, thanks!
I love Natalie's tutorials! The binding ones especially have changed the finished look of my quilts so so much! And that trimming 1/8" at the end and sewing the pieces together was a game changer for me. I can't thank you enough, especially as someone who started quilting May 2020! (I haven't stopped since hee hee). BTW Natalie, I watched a tutorial you did in 2010 (!) for the Summer in the Park quilt--I'll post mine on Instagram soon--that was super, too. You're a natural teacher.
Love the Final Stitch! Please adjust Liz's microphone volume. She's so soft spoken it's sometimes hard to hear her when she's reading questions or commenting on something. Thank you, Natalie, for sharing your expertise with us!!
Always great to see another “Final Stitch”. Wow, Nat! You’re choosing some of my weakest skills to cover and I couldn’t be happier to relearncover these @over and over. I love videos for just that reason. Thanks! You and Liz make a swell year!
I am a new quilter and I watched your other tutorial on binding and you gave the iron your binding back tip then. I tried it on a table topper I made and was surprised at how much easier it was to see it down. Thank you for sharing all of the great tips. I love everything Missouri Star does. You are fabulous!
I've seen folks cut bias binding before, but this way looks more manageable for me! I do have a 24" long ruler so this would work well. Thank you as always for your great tips/advice :)
I like to cut a whole bunch of binding all at once, sew it all, press it all, wind it all, and do many different colors. Just pick one day to do a bunch of color themes and get them all ready for when you have finished projects, you have binding ready and waiting for you.
Thanks, Nat! I wanted to do the scallop border but was terrified with binding it! After watching this video, you have built my confidence enough to do it now!
this has always been my favorite way to bind quilts ... no one else i know does this so i went back to mitered corners -- boy, do i hate them ... it just never looks as nice and comfy as the rounded corners do!! your work is lovely ....
I was just reading my newest Block magazine and saw your article about seam rippers. Thank-you for sharing so much information. I have tried so many kinds of rippers, but now I am going to try a Clover.
I have always avoided bias binding because just cutting it intimidated me but watching Natalie I totally get it and plan to do this on my next baby quilt. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm making my first bias binding. I would have made a terrible mess without this video. Natalie, I'd love to see you make more videos.
Another great tutorial. I'm a real scrooge so I use the smaller triangle up first (especially if I only need a small length of bias binding) and then cut into the middle chunk if I need to so that I keep the largest area of whole fabric I can to use for other projects. :) If the fabric is solid or the pattern on it doesn't mind being in different directions, and you don't mind your joining seams being in different directions, for the strips where the ends go in opposite directions, I don't trim them, I just turn every second one around when I join them, and save the waste - I do trim off the selvage edge.
I love that Natalie is straight-forward, relaxed, but meticulous. She explains everything very well without talking down to us old quilters who have been quilting longer than she has been alive. She is wonderful!
Thank you so much for your tutorials! I was excited to find this one because I had been wondering why I couldn’t just use bias binding for any quilt so this answers that question for me. I want to make my own up just to have it I think. For not just quilts but I’d like to try making aprons as well. I’m new to sewing. But have been watching many sewing videos over the past year. Hopefully I’ll know enough to not fear sewing anymore! Lol ~ TC
Thank you so much for the great lesson. I’m in agreement with all the other positive comments on what a great teacher you are. Love the artwork on the peg board!
Ms Natalie, you did a great job teaching us how to cut bias binding, and how to sew it to a circle.....thanks again... Josefina Mccarty, greetings friom South Florida......
Very good tutorial Natalie, still have not tried bias binding, but sure looks doable now..Thanks for the "HOT" tips, just love your Final Stitch episodes..
Nicely done, Natalie. I love your voice. I actually cut straight-grain strips as usual for a large quilt, and just put the bias strips on the corners. And the free app, QuiltCalc, from Robert Kaufman fabrics indicates the yardage for bias and for straight binding are pretty much the same.
Thank You for clearing up some reasons why I messed up the binding on my round Amish Folded Star trivet. I used bias but put the single raw edge on front then wrapped around & tucked the other folded edge instead of keeping the fold together when sewing raw edge on. The 1st two came out well but the 3rd with lots of puckers. All cotton fabric, all bias binding. I think I didn't trim enough of trivet edge as it is very thick with insulbrite, batting, the folded fabric, the backing fabric & the plain white sheet I used as foundation. It is so hard to cut through the layers. I used scissors but may try using rotary next time. It may make a more uniform perimeter & I'm going to glue based the binding on the next one, then sew without clips or pins. 👍
That is how I cut mine. I used Fons and Porters basic information book. I have had it for 26 years. A friend recommended this book for me as a beginner quilter. Bias binding is supposed to wear better in the long haul than straight binding. I only make straight when I do a wall hanging. Everything else is bias.
Good morning girls, Natelie flower i wonder if you ever feel like you will never be as brilliant as your Mum. I ask this because my Mum was brilliant at everything crafty that she touched, she could literally do every craft to brilliance finish and although she taught me to do all these things, i never feel that i will ever be able to fill her shoes. My lovely Mum is gone now but i just wonder if anyone else feels like i do about doing the things that they did to perfection. Thank you for showing how to do the CUTTING of the bias binding. I have watched umpteen videos and still get it wrong, but you explained fantastically. Have a great day everyone and now that the sun is shining and jags are being given, i hope that it only improves for everyone. Happy crafting, from Norah, Glenochil Village, Scotland
Thanks Natalie such a fabulous tutorial, just thinking if you could do a tutorial on how to use those lines on our rulers and what we can make using them
Thank you for the bias demonstration. I have one of those bias rulers and don’t like it at all. It’s me not the ruler. It gets away from me. I have done scallops this way and it really works well. I have seen your videos from a much younger age. You looked like a deer in the headlights, Ha. You do such a great job on these videos. Your confidence has grown with time. Thank you for your free instruction. You all are so generous.
Natalie, thank you for the help with cutting bias binding. Question: I inherited a granny square quilt top sewn by my grandmother many years ago. The squares are on point so, the edges are all triangles. My sisters and I hand quilted it. I would like to keep the triangle edges. What is the best way to finish this quilt.
I needed to see you cut on bias I now understand it!
I just love your way of teaching Natalie! For all of us Grandma’s out here, I’ll say ‘’We are proud of you!” Great job!
I had an "oh, ah ha" moment when Natalie demonstrated binding in the valley for scalloped edges. Love your segments. Thanks!
Nat, thanks so much for the tutorial. I have made bias binding in the past but your directions really take the stress out of cutting on the bias. Also, a huge shoutout to Liz! Your calm voice and comments add so much to all the videos you are a part of! You are a great addition to the Missouri team!
I really like Natalie’s teaching method. She’s detailed, takes her time and explained everything. I like all her tips.
Thanks for that tutorial. Very helpful on doing the binding and which to use for curved projects. Natalie you are patient and I look forward to seeing your tutorials as much as your moms
😍 I agree with you... Natalie is a wonderfully patient teacher. The teamwork between Natalie and Liz is very good. They compliment each other well.

Thank You, Natalie!!! You are a Wonderful Teacher, I learn something new everytime I watch your tutorials!!!
Always love your tips and videos, Natalie . You're so real, kind and patient. Hope you all have a great day.
Great tip about cutting binding 1/8 inch shorter.
We love Natalie & the entire MSQC family. So glad she has been helping us & newbies with these projects. She has helped me to stop being so nervous & now I enjoy making my crafts.

This makes so much more sense than the more complicated ways I’ve seen done before. Thank you so much!

Love the final stitch videos so informative! Hi from Tasmania Australia!
Hello fellow Tasmanian! 😊😊
Hobart, Tasmania is my favorite place to visit!
Thank you Natalie - great tips, and enjoyed seeing how you cut your bias binding strips.
Thanks Natalie! Just had to make bias binding to finish a quilt. This was just what I needed. So a year later and you are still the best!
Thank you for showing this. I wish I would have been able to see a top view as you stitched the binding on around the curve.
Love Natalie’s tutorials she’s good she easy understand her very well I hope she keeps a good work up
Another AWESOME tutorial Natalie!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
I love Natalie and have learned so much. Love her personality.

Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪👍
You are a great teacher Natalie. Thank you.
Hello from Las Vegas Nevada. So great to see you on this late at night! Thank you for the binding tips. God Bless!
Excellent tutorial! I was hoping you would show how to cut bias binding since I saw Misty’s pot holder tutorial. Thank you Natalie!❤️
Excellent tutorial. I just followed it and my binding finally looks taught and fits well. Thank you!

Natalie you make an awesome teacher. You answer my questions before I can ask them.
Thank you! I always round the corners of my quilts. You have helped me make better curves. I love to hear you teach.
Thank you Natalie 🙏❤️ I really appreciate The Final Stitch series.
You are a Godsend! I was so intimidated by curves, thank you 😊
Very good tutorial Natalie, still have not tried bias binding, but sure looks doable now..Thanks for the "HOT" tips, just love your Final Stitch episodes..
Natalie is amazing, thanks for all these pro tips!
I love your tutorials, Natalie!!!

Natalie, your videos are so helpful! I've been struggling with bias binding, and this simplified it for me. A big thank you.
Thank you for this tutorial, I have several tops done minus the binding. You just gave me the courage to try and finish them!

Thank you for this. Would love to see this done with a tube to get one long strip.

Dear Nathalie thank you for the explanation. I love the videos, greeting from Suriname, South America

Natalie, thank you so much for this informative tutorial . I've been wanting to try curved edges, but didn't know how. Now I'm ready to dive in!😊
