Great tutorial! I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more views. It is clear and straight to the point. Thank you
The best explanation I have seen yet for how to do this. Love your calm manner.
Thank you.
This is so helpful! I am struggling with the binding. Back to my sewing machine, but I bet I will be successful this time.
That is so good to hear, thank you!

That is the join I would like to master…..
Thankyou for sharing , l always have trouble joining ends when l ues a flange , l need your help please
Hi Patricia,
What exactly is it that I can help you with? Are you still having a problem?
Thank you. I prefer the first and last methods. The middle one always leaves that little point at the top which bothers me no end…I did do the last method on a pot holder where you can’t really leave a long tail of binding between the two corners, but stupid me,,,,,did no open my binding…just sewed the two butts together…needless to say I was not overjoyed with the outcome…. I have a question though, when you attempt the first method, should you be facing the end of your quilt or should it be turned around and facing the end from the opposite side, I hope my explanation of this is clear. In your video you are facing the end. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you so much for this video. I will not quit until I master this technique…..
Hi Mickey,
If you find you get a little point on the second method, make sure your tuck in is very tight, or you can hand stitch it into place, which you were not keen on!
For the first method, and the third method, you can have your quilt which ever way you have space for. I demonstrate on a normal sewing table, and usually have the outer edge nearest to me.
Remember to start your binding about halfway down the side of your quilt, so that you have room for a generous tail to join. Also make sure that when you make your binding strips, check that your joins are not going to land on a corner, this doesn't make for a neat finish.
The effort of practicing the joins will pay dividends in the finish of your quilt.
I appreciate your comments, thank you - it is useful to know for future videos.
Happy sewing!

One needs 3 hands to do this….this first one is the one I would like to master but it seems that I never sew correct and my binding is either too tight or too loose. I will be watching your video multiple times until I get this….or else HA!
I am an inexperienced sewing person and I’m hand quilting. I’m substituting a block on the T-shirt quilt I’m making with another block. I decided to do a patchwork. I’ve put a bias tape around this big block and I have left one corner free thinking I could join it in the corner. Is it possible to join it in the corner instead of unpicking it? Thank you.
Where are you placing the block Hazel? Where on the quilt I mean?
@@sewsmartwithelizabeth286 I am hand sewing all my son’s gangsta hoodies and tshirts. The blocks are all of irregular shape. I put a 3/4 inch frame around it then I put two five in borders. Said block is at the bottoms just within the frame. It is surrounded by 5 other blocks of irregular size all of which have a fusible but still have stretch, especially the tsirts. I have already removed the block he doesn’t want and stitched the parts I unpicked. I thought it would just be easier to do a patchwork instead of trying to fit this new block in. Unfortunately I jumped the gun and put the bias tape around starting in one corner and now I’m struggling to join it in the corner.
Unfortunately, it's very hard to join binding in the corner. I would unpick as much as you can and add a piece of binding so that your join comes on one side.
Always start your binding, leaving around a 5inch tail to join, and always on a straight side. I hope this helps you Hazel. @@hazelem1266
@@sewsmartwithelizabeth286 Tell me about it! But I, in my experience, thought “I can just do this and this.” I spent 2 hours yesterday just turning the block around and around, then practicing on a spare piece of tape, cutting and turning then ironing it straight then starting again. It was very frustrating. Then my husband came in and he said ok, you want it to look good and you want it to last for many years. But you also say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas aka the quilt sandwich. So how about getting your 45 degree angle then just tuck it behind and camouflage it. Who’s going to know? So I did that. What I also did was put a decorative running stitch using perle cotton. Looks beautiful actually. I wouldn’t have been able to do this with a machine. I’ll tell you why I had to put on a border though. An artist did an animated drawing of my son and I thought it would fit perfectly. My husband printed it on fabric with a border at my request. I trimmed it down to fit and on the last side, my ruler moved and I cut off 1/4 inch too much so I had to retrim which made the block too small, hence the bias.
Anyway, thank you for responding and thank you so much for your advice. I am your very newest subscriber.
Joining my binding is my nemesis…..I have looked at a ton of videos….not much luck, seems like I just can’t get the hang of it. My corners are Ok but joining my strips at the end…..not so much…..
Why am I reaching out to help hold the side up for her?
Every time you snip, I hold my breath….I did number 2 but hate to have to hand stitch it closed….
