- Learn how to join the ends of binding on your quilts with Bonnie Browning.
The key is to fold the triangle away from you; the fold should be closest to your body.
Pin along the fold line, which is your seam line, to double-check the binding.
Sew on the fold line.
Press the seam open to reduce bulk, then trim the seam to 1/4".
Refold the binding and stitch to the edge of your quilt.
Viola! it fits perfectly.

I am so grateful for this video! Every time I join the binding, I need to watch this again!! It is so easy to follow but I forget each time I am finishing a new quilt. Thank you, thank you thank you!
I watch this everytime I do a quilt. It is the easiest and still have to watch it every time. I love it.
Me, too! Every time!
I watch it every time too!
The fact that we have to look up the process every time implies that the process is not intuitive. I am not surprised at all that we quilters have trouble with this. Great video and great explanation. 😊
EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! Lol
Damn, me as well!
Hands down the absolute best binding tutorial I’ve found on RUclips. And it keeps your seams at a diagonal in the least confusing way. Thank you so much!!
That width of the binding scrap trick is BRILLIANT! And then folding the 45 degree angle...oh my gosh it was like angels from heaven singing! Thank you for posting this because of all the videos and all the tutorials I've gone through this is the one. This is the one that made it make sense.
This is the absolute very best tutorial I have ever seen for joining the binding. You are a lifesaver!!!!
I know this is an older post and you may not see this but I just want to say this is so great. I have struggled with joining binding forever, trying to follow other complicated (or at least to me) ways to join them. This is a game changer!!! SO SO SIMPLE! Love it. Thank you so much for posting this.
Thank you so much. I have been struggling with binding and now it is perfect every time.
I have quilted for 50 years and your how-to-make it work without twisting it it the best tip I have ever learned. You go girl!!!
This is my FAVORITE method for binding. Thank you for your excellent instruction!
Oh my gosh, thank you! I had sewn, pinned and ripped out bindings so many times but this finally clicked. This video is a lifesaver!
This is the best example of how to finish binding. I have to look it up every time and this is the clearest and easiest. Bonnie uses a binding that is printed and this helps because you can tell clearly what "right sides together" looks like! Thank you, Bonnie and AQS!
This is the first video about finishing binding that actual worked and made sense. I’m a newbie sewer and I am so grateful for the info 😀
I also watch this every time I finish a quilt. genius trick. Thank you so much!
Best tutorial for joining ends of binding. I have it in my favorites and watch it each time before finishing my binding! THANK YOU!!!!!
Just watched again with another successful binding joining - I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used this - not only do I quilt - I make placemats and this tip is just the best - thank you so much for the clear concise instructions 😊
Bonnie, you ROCK, it is so hard to bind on small projects, you just made my day, or the rest my binding days I should say! Thanks!
This is the best binding finishing video I’ve ever watched!!! Awesome! And thank you for sharing!!! I do have to admit, I go back each time I get ready to bind a quilt and watch it again!!
Me. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
You saved my life !!!! I was about to throw the whole binding thing in the rubbish …. Alleluia … I’ve got it sorted …. Thank you from New Zealand !!!!!! 🇳🇿❤️❤️❤️💐❤️❤️❤️
This is easiest, simplest and best way of doing the binding ends. Love it!
Coming back to say thank you for this; I know it's been 5 years but this just saved my sanity again!
Bonnie your way of showing and speaking is so perfect that I no longer fear joining my ends. I've watched it multiple times and finally I can repeat in my head all the steps. THANK YOU
that is the easiest way I have ever learned this technique. Love the tip "it needs to look like an A" Perfect!!! Can't thank you enough!
I've tried various ways to finish a binding, and this is the only one that does not make me want to rip my hair out. Thank you!
Finally found "The Trick!" that makes sense to me. Watched so many binding videos and the joining of the ends always stumps me. I did it right on the first attempt for the first time ever! THANK YOU!!
Me too! I literally screamed with joy when it just boom worked! Thank you thank you thank you!
@@GrandmaMeesh lol, I screamed with joy too!
@@marijones6137 YAY for joy! 😂
UO
@@GrandmaMeesh wonderful hope to re ember thanks
Oh my gosh!! I watched this video twice and then tried it on a table runner I am working on. Worked the first try!! First time ever in 40 some years I haven't had to fight to finish the binding. Thank you for sharing,
I just want to thank you! I use this method. Every time I bind a quilt, but until I watched your video, it always took me a couple of tries to get the sewing line in the right place. I would invariably either sew it wrong direction, or I would twist the ends. The key to me was the finger fold… so easy. Got it the first time.
I wish I could give this a ‘love ‘ instead of a like. I’ve struggled with this concept for ages and this method clicked. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I was almost in tears. I had sewn and unsewn a half dozen times. I was about to give up when I watched your video. First time and I did it. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I found this tutorial just this morning, and have shared this method 7 times, with about 200 women during a quilting demo at my favorite quilt shop...and now it's the favorite method we've ever seen! I can't believe that anyone would use any other method! This is so simple and makes so much sense!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
I've bought tools and looked at other videos. This is by far the best explanation and video I've seen. Thanks so much for sharing!
This is the BEST binding video. I’ve never been successful with other methods and have always had to use a straight binding instead. I’ll be watching this video each time I need to finish my quilt binding. Thank you!
This is the most valuable video I have found for putting the binding on. Thanks for posting.
I always have to stop and look up how to finish so I thank you for sharing your skill and memory trick. This will save lots of fretting for me.
The piece of fabric to use for "measuring" is very helpful. One of these days, I will remember, but for now, I need a reminder every time.
Thanks for your clear and lucid video and instructions for joining binding.
It "clicked" and worked for me.
You have explained this method so simply that it does scare me too much when I finish off my binding. Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Magic!! Thank you!! I have ripped it out 7 times so far!!
Thank you SO Much - sat for Ages to end my quilt and You just showed me how easy it was to finish!!! Thank you
I am so grateful! Like many people, I really struggled and always had to rip out, because for the life of me I could not get those little ends straight! But this...this is IT! I knew there had to be a trick, and thank the heavens someone smart shared it! Thank you VERY much. I will send a little prayer of gratitude and happiness to you every time I join the binding ends.
Wow!! The first video I have watched and was successful on the first try. This will be my go to on finishing my binding! Thank you for providing this easy to follow video.
I go to this video with every quilt! This is the best technique for finishing your binding.
Bonnie, at last a tip that explains perfectly so i can follow and get a result every time. The tip about folding back the edge is brilliant. Thank you so much xxx
Clearest tutorial ever. I have wasted so much time trying to work out how to join binding ends, always hit and mis.Thank you so much this tutorial has helped me immensly.
Just a wonderful tutorial demonstration for the much-dreading binding!!!! Thank you.
Thank you!!! This is very helpful. I confess that I look this video up for every quilt.
I have always struggled doing this last bit. This is just magic, I love this method. Thank you for sharing
Thank you thank you… have watched several times….and I do forget s9me details…ready to attached a binding today…so I came back for refresher. 👍. Thank you
I’ve watched tutorials on this many times & this is the first one that really explains well. Thanks
This is the best explanation I have seen. Saved this for future reference! Thank you Bonnie!!!!
Thank you for this post. I just made three table runners and used this for the binding. It saved me so much time. I was taught the kiss and turn method, but this is so much easier.
This was super helpful! What a great method. After watching several other videos that ended up being so awkward and difficult when trying to sew the ends together this was a dream. Thank you so much for your tip!!
This is the best demonstration for this technique I have found!! Thank You!
Holy cow this is THE BEST tutorial on how to join binding I have seen. I could not do it properly until I watched this! ❤
Thank you! Thank you! I have watched so many videos on this and as a beginner you are the only one I could understand.😊
Easiest way to join binding ends! Saved me from pulling out my hair!
This video may be from 6 years ago, but it is the best video out there to join the ends of your binding. I refer to this video every time. Thank you so much!!!😎🧵🍁
I've watched many videos but this one is the best! After years of quilting I finally get it... thanks so much :)
This method is the one I plan to use from now on!!! Thank you, Bonnie!!
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm a fairly new sewer and only do binding once in a blue moon, but I've watched a different tutorial every time I've needed to join a binding and this is the first time I've ever joined my binding correctly, first time. I've got you bookmarked for future reference.
I also watch this every time, but always have trouble. Finally I turned it to the top side and it was perfect.
Thank you for this video. Have watch a bunch of videos and always struggled because the binding was always twisted. First time after watching this video was perfect. Wish I saw this when I first started quilting.
Thank you so much. I have been struggling. But not after watching this video. Sat down, did it and it worked first time. Love you
Oh my goodness, thank you, thank you, thank you! Your method makes sense to me -- followed it and just joined my binding ends on my quilt and it worked perfectly. I was so afraid that I would mess it up, that I've been using the pocket method - but no more -- putting this video in my saved folder right now! Thank you!
Brilliant! The very best explanation I have ever had on the proper finishing. So we'll explained and demonstrated!
Great explainer - I was reading a garment pattern instructions and just couldn't visualize this. Used your method, and I have a perfect join! THANKS!
Thank you for this excellent tip...I saved it in my library because that's how often I refer to it. Thank you, thank you!
I know this is an old post, by 4 yrs, but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I'm binding baby items (diaper pants & bassinet sheets) and this video has saved my sanity!! I was really struggling with closing up the binding and yes my previous method was ok but now they look perfect. Just like the joining 'belongs' there!! (It's been over 30 years since I did any thing baby, as I'm a grandma now lol) But I made myself a couple of sticky notes and attached them to the pattern directions :)
Folding the end of the binding back is genius. I could never (never ever) turn it in the right direction to sew my seam and always either ended up twisted or right and wrong sides together the first time. Fold back one corner, lay the other end down, and bingo. Thank you so much!
I keep coming back to this video because your instructions are so good- thank you!!
This is by far the most valued tutorial for me - thanks to your instructions I can easily and quickly finish my quilts!!! Thank You!!
oh my gosh! best tutorial ever!! i’ve been looking for something to show me how the strips are sewn together! fabulous! Thank you so much!!!
This worked like a dream, i may need to put it on every time i bind a quilt but it's worth it for the finish you get from this method. thanks so much Bonnie.
I think folding the corner is the tip I needed! I keep managing to get a twist in my binding.
This is absolute magic! No more fancy tools that you can't find, no twisting and cursing, no problems. And it works. Every. Time. Love it! Thank you for sharing this video!
This is probably the easiest way I have seen yet. Thank you
Fantastic tutorial. Worked like a charm the first time. Will be using this method from now on!
Love these tips! I have done straight seems on my last 3 projects because I get so frustrated. Your video made it click- love the pre-diagonal fold and the “A” tip. Thank you!
This video explains about the width of your binding. Other videos don't make it clear that the width of your binding is when it is folded completely out. I had 2 inch satin binding and cut it 2 inches likes other videos say to. This video shows that my 2 inch should be 4 inch allowance. Because when you fold it flat it is 4 inches not 2 inches! Thank you thank you for clearing it up. I already screwed up my blanket and am so frustrated. Got this video tagged as a favorite. Thanks again for clarity.
I just found this tutorial and I'm amazed, I've been sewing for many years (I'm 92) and this is the first technique I've found for joining binding strips that makes sense and actually works, besides being a beautiful presentation, very simple and easy to understand. Well done! I'm so very grateful for this. It's a life-saver for anyone who applies bindings on any kind of project. Thank you!!
I watch this video and go and follow your instructions and voila a neat binding. Next time I do a quilt my brain says "You've got this" but I haven't so back to the video. Thanks, Sandra from Queensland.
I just found this video today and thank you so much. I thought it was so hard but you made it so easy. I got it the first time!
I was totally stuck until I found this!! Thank you so much: this works with my brain!!
Brilliant! Was about to order a bias binding tool which cost around £10.00 so glad i didnt as no need after watching this!...thank you so much
Yeeaaaa - this works better than my own fumbling method. The "A" suggestion also was helpful. Looks good!
That lay over technique is genius and helped me a lot just now thank you so much.
I understood the basics of finishing the binding, but every single time, when it came time to put the two ends together to sew them, I'd get it twisted. Sometimes multiple times before I could get it right. Also frequently sewed it on the 'wrong' diagonal. This is the first video I've seen that explains so clearly how to *easily* avoid both mistakes. Thank you so much for this. Saved my sanity!
Best explanation for this technique EVER!!!!!! Thank you!
I tried your tutorial and just want to say....this was the best and the easiest way of joining I ever found! Great job and thank you so much! Jzentner
This is the very best video on joining bindings!! I use this method when dress making as well. Thank you so much
Every time I bind a quilt I still have a quick look at your tutorial. It’s the only one that always makes sense to me! ❤️❤️❤️
Bonnie! Where have you been all my binding life? I love the little magic of folding the one end 45 degrees & matching the 2nd end to it. Makes perfect sense! I have always get the matching part wrong & have to rip out one (or admittedly more) times! This is priceless. Thanks you over & over!
Famous last words: You won’t have to look it up every time. 😂 Oh, yes I do. 🤪 Still the best instruction I have ever seen.
I echo the comments of those who watch this video every time I bind a quilt!!! Thank you so much😊
This video with this binding tip is so understandable and clear. Thank you so much for this video!
This is a miracle. I hate doing the bindings. This came out perfect. You have explained this better than a bizillion other demos I’ve watched. Thank you soooooo much.
I agree 💯! I'm a relatively new quilter, and this helps sooooo much! The binding is my least favorite part of the process, but this makes it easy. 😊
Thank you so much for sharing. I have struggled with attaching binding ends for 40 years. Perfect ending.
This is absolutely the BEST quilt binding tutorial on You Tube. I always refer to this tutorial to join the binding ends. Bravo!!
I spent hours watching joining videos before I found yours. Using your video, joining the ends was the only part of the quilt I did not have to unsew and resew, often more than once. Thank you!
I love that you pin it and check to make sure it fits and isn't twisted. Takes the fear out of it for me. Am keeping this video, thank you for making it.
This helped me and saved me from picking it out and sewing it over and over…..👍
After viewing MANY tutorials on this, I was overwhelmed...until I came across THIS one ! Simple and works perfectly every time! I even did a round one without a problem. This is my "go to" video every time I bind. I'm fairly new to quilting, so I review this each time . Can't thank you enough for making it SIMPLE !!!
Thanks so much I love the "A" visualization
