    I'm a beginner at sewing, and looked at several videos, even did a couple of tests of other methods before I came to yours, and found your instructions to be so clear and easy to follow. The results for me came out much nicer than other attempts. It actually looks like I know what I'm doing. ☺Thank you so much for sharing this excellent tutorial.

      I agree and had similar experience. Somehow I managed to mess up some of the other, supposedly fool proof self-binding techniques. This one is clear and easy.

      @@BALDIVIS You're replying to my comment, not the main video. So, it doesn't make much sense. How could you not notice that? If one is going to make critical comments on someone else's 'mistakes' one should probably pay a little more attention to what they're doing themselves. Your whole comment is just a mess.

    New at quilting! Saw the words "Self Binding." I have been working with flannel and was having so much trouble with the corners of the binding, even when I bound with the backing. This method works wonderfully. I can't thank you enough.

I also learn another way to use my CG 6 inch ruler I had no idea about. I used this technique on a table top for Valentines. The best mitered corners I have done yet. Thank you Cindy for this video.

There is one by the national quilter skilled I think it's called and it's made with charm packs and I find this to be a really good beginner one. Also Lisa capen has gobs of really really good ones out there and she does excellent tutorials. This lady that you forwarded from my comment I like her way of doing the self-binding way where you turn the backup and make that into your binding.

      If you would like a matching table runner, cut the main fabric the size you would like, cut the backing 2” wider on all sides, ie. if the runner is 18” x 30” cut backing 22” x 34” and sew the same as the placemats

    That’s a great technique! Thanks so much for sharing that. I’ve been struggling with binding…but I love this!
