My pleasure & thanks for commenting 😊. I’m glad you found the technique inspiring. Delving into making scrappy quilts is my next adventure. Stay tuned and I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
Oh I see what you mean at the beginning of the video. I’m a relatively new quilter. But this hurts my heart. 😂 I will continue to bind my quilts. But I am interested in getting a serger one day. This would be a nice edging to keep the sandwich in place while adding my binding. Thank you so much for this video! 🤗
Wonderful! I’m a self taught quilter so I haven’t received hands on binding instructions. I discovered this technique because I used the serger to “square up” my quilt sandwich prior to attaching the binding. That’s when I said, hold up, how about I just use pretty threads & skip the binding 😂. So yes, this technique works very well prior to adding your beautiful binding 😊. Check out my girl Angelina at the Blueprint DIY RUclips channel. She has several videos on tips for purchasing a serger, so when you’re ready to take the leap, you’ll be well informed 😊 Thanks for commenting, I’m glad you stopped by. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
Little tip I use when I cut my tails (on anything) too short. Put your needle into the fabric where you want the tail to go, then thread it!! You go girl🎉
Thank you for the tip😊 I will do that in the future because I’m sure I’ll cut my tails short again 😂. Thanks for sharing. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
I hear ya 😊 Check out my girl Angelina on the Blueprint DIY RUclips channel. She has several videos on different sergers that are budget friendly. If possible, I totally recommend getting a serger with Airflow technology like the Brother or BabyLock because it makes threading the machine so much easier & less stressful. Also, try to get a machine with automatic tension, that also will relieve some of the stress/frustration with using a serger. Thank you so much for commenting. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
Differential Feed is a great feature. It’s just an adjustment capability you use if your edges are rippling; making your edges wavy, you adjust the differential feed and it will solve that problem by making your edges straight. That’s how people make lettuce edge ruffles; by adjusting the differential feed. It can go either way tighter or loser.
I was intimidated by the looks of sergers too at first. I found one at Walmart for $218 and started there. I learned that if I can thread one needle, l can follow the oath and thread three more needles. That is essentially what makes a Seeger different. (Very basically).
I use to make premie quilts and serged the edges with wooly nylon. The WN created a satin stitch effect. They looked great! Also, you can add a narrow border to your top then serge and it will look like it is bound.
Cool! Premie quilts are labor of love and mean so much to the families who receive them. I’m a hospice nurse practitioner and have made quilts for my patients and they cherish them 😊. I absolutely love the idea of wooly nylon. I’ve already purchased some for my future projects. Thanks so much for sharing & I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks serging the edges can be just as beautiful as traditional binding. I’ll see you in the next video 😊👏🏽
Hi Susan! Yay 🎉 Thanks for commenting 😊. I’m so excited the video inspired you. I’d love it if you’d subscribe & join me for more videos. I’ll see you in the next video😊👋🏽
I love using my serger for binding! I do it a little differently. I make the binding using the folded corner ruler to cut the ends of the strips and I serge it to the back of the quilt then wrap it over to the front and use a blind stitch walking foot like an edge stitch foot to sew it to the front running the guide next to the edge. I love how the serger cuts off the threads and evens out the sandwich and even compresses it a bit so the binding lays flat. Thanks for the video it’s always great to see new techniques!
My pleasure and thanks so much for commenting 😊. Your process sounds very efficient and I imagine your projects turn out just beautiful 😊. I’ll try it out because I too always like learning a new technique😊. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss all the off the beaten path quilting videos I have coming up 😊👋🏽

Awh, Tammie, your quilt binding is awesome! I am skittish about bindings too! I do at times cut my end threads to short to use thread needle and still get the point into my fabric for hiding, BUT, BUT, I discovered that if I just get the thread into the eye of my needle, I push that end into the layers to hide it! So I just thread the eye, and with the eye end only, and ,push the eye into the fabric ( instead of the pointed end) just far enough for the thread to automatically come out of eye and stays in the fabric! Need is the mother of invention! Many times I have done this, right where the threads come out, I put that tiny short amount of thread into the eye, and the eye right into the hole it came out of, holding on to the pointed end of the needle! It works! I use this technique with my home machine mistakes, I don't have a serger yet! ❤ This video, and your love for making quilts! Have a most wonderful day. I
Oh my stars thank you & my pleasure 🥰. I will definitely try your tip of only threading the eye because I’m certain I will cut the threads short again in the future😂. I appreciate your comment. Make sure you’re subscribed, I’m uploading another serger video Monday. Perhaps the technique could work with decorative sewing machine stitches, sewing off a few extra inches, then hiding the tails 🤔😊. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽

I love this and you explain it so well.i have broken so many needles while binding a quilt even with good needles a very good machine with walking foot built in, I just don’t get it. I have learned on new way using the backing brought around to the front t. It works well but always looking for other ways. I have macular degeneration in my right eye so I have that little stumbling block. Thank you for doing this video. Please do more
Thank you & my pleasure 😊. Thanks for having the courage to share about your right eye macular degeneration. I’m a nurse practitioner so I totally understand your visual challenges 😊.

Hi Tammi, Wow this is definitely interesting! I think I’m gonna try this method! Shew anything to make that binding easier, that’s my least favorite part also. Thanks for sharing, I’m so glad you popped up in my feed! ❤ so nice to meet you!
Yay! My pleasure. I’m so grateful the RUclips algorithm introduced us 😊. Welcome to a community where we uplift each other in our quilting craft and shun the “Quilting Police”.

I don’t have a surfer but this is a great idea. I saw some Sulky neon colored threat and bright colors that glow in the dark. Using that would make a fun quilt for a youth.
Hi👋🏽. Thank you so much for sharing this idea! Using neon & bright color threads is an amazing idea. I’ll be sure to purchase some and add them to my thread collection.

Great idea! I'll be using it for the quilts I make for around here. Im not much fond of binding, either. One thing I've done to give the look of binding is to sew a 1 1/2" contrasting color border. Then sew the layers together in the inside out envelope style. I turn the quilt right sides out. I topstitch 1/4" from the edge, then stitch in the ditch the "binding" border. It looks bound, but isnt. I usually tie most of my quilts, so this method works well for me. There are no quilt police in our sewing spaces, unless we invite them in!🎉
Yes! 😊The process you described sounds like a great hack to traditional binding. I appreciate you commenting and sharing. Make sure you’re subscribed. I’m uploading another serger binding video for a different project Monday. I’m so glad you’re here, I’ll see you in my next video. 😊👋🏽
Oh my stars, thank you for telling your quilty friend! 😊. Make sure you guys are subscribed, I’m going to do another video showing the details next week. 😊👋🏽
I love the binding because it is almost done then. LOL But I still find this interesting and would certainly use it if I wanted. Might come in handy in a pinch. I am with you in that I don't quilt to enter in shows...if i were near where a small one was held, I might just for people to have something to look at...but not expecting i had a chance of winning.
Thanks for commenting & sharing! I love your profile image, so cute😊. You’re right, it’s always good to have another tool in your toolbox. Traditional binding definitely is an acquired skill 😊. I appreciate you being here, make sure you subscribe for more off the beaten path quilting videos 😊👋🏽
I also do it like you. Especially with place mats and other projects on the table (because there is no bulk from the binding, it‘s much more flat!). I have a Babylock machine (same like you) and use mostly the Wavelock-stitch for this method. I also recommend rounded corners. Than you have just one tail to hide! Thank you for your video! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this! 😊 I’m going to make placemats this weekend for one of my patients. I will try the Wave stitch. I’ll need to practice my rounded corners before I film it, but that will definitely be my next step because I love this technique so much😊. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss my video on Monday. I appreciate you & will see you then 😊👋🏽
🎉Thanks so much for investigating how well this process holds up. While I don't dislike binding & will continue adding them on the comfort quilts I donate, its always useful to have another technique in your toolbox. I might try the fancy thread suggested in another comment for NICU covers. I love my Accuquilt for cutting strips, that's my least favorite part of quilting
My pleasure & thank you for commenting 😊. I am an absolute AccuQuilt fan girl 🥰. I can’t quilt without it 😂. This technique is absolutely a beautiful idea for charity quilts. Make sure you’re subscribed. I got my “fancy” thread in the mail and will be uploading another video Monday showing more details on the technique. I’ll see you then 😊👋🏽
Cool! 😊 Thank you for commenting. Make sure you’re subscribed. I’m uploading another quilt serger technique on Monday. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
I think you should be using the wave stitch with your serger on the edges of your quilt, that would be beautiful. I have made my first quilt and was able to put the binding on using my sewing machine and then I hand stitched the binding on the back. When I make my next quilt I plan to use the wave stitch on the edge.
Hey Tiesha😊. Congratulations on the completion of your first quilt 👏🏽! And you added binding that included hand stitching, way to go! You are on point with using the wave stitch. I’ve used it in recent projects and it is beautiful. That’s for commenting. I appreciate you being here and your support 😊👍🏽
My pleasure 😊. Thanks for watching & commenting. Make sure you’re subscribed. I’ll be uploading another project Monday using this technique. I’ll see you then 😊👋🏽
Love your channel. I think you and I are at about the same level in our quilting adventure. I've learned that there is a thread that's called "woolly thread" that is often used for this purpose. There is a bit of fuzz on it so the seam looks more contiguous/'closed'. Also, I'm not familiar with embroidery machines, but shouldn't there be a stitch on one of those that would accomplish this? Anyone? Asking for a friend. lol
Thank you so much for commenting 😊. I’m glad you found the channel! If you have a modern sewing machine with decorative stitches, you can achieve this stitch look. However, it won’t cut off the extra fabric so you’ll have to “square up” your quilt sandwich before you finish the edges with the decorative stitches. I’ve used the wooly nylon thread & it comes out beautifully. I have both commercial & domestic embroidery machines and unfortunately it’s not feasible to do this process with those machines. Your best bet if you don’t have a serger is to use decorative stitches or bind your project the traditional way. Please make sure you’re subscribed & I’ll see you in the next video. Cheers 😊👋🏽
Groovy! 😊 Make sure you’re subscribed, I’m uploading another binding with your serger technique video this Monday. Thanks for commenting and I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
Tammi, try using a metal crochet hook to bury your tails. It can even be used if you cut the tail tool short because you insert the hook and pull the thread tail through.
Oh my stars, that’s an excellent idea!!! 😊 I’ll buy one today. Thanks so much for sharing this with me. I’m going to use it in my next video coming out Monday 😊. I appreciate you being here. Make sure your subscribed so you don’t miss my next video😊👋🏽
My pleasure & thank you for commenting 😊. Yes, since making this video I’ve learned how to do the crochet hook technique 😊. I appreciate your comment and would love it if you’d subscribe and join me for more off the beaten path quilting videos 😊👋🏽
You could use the cover stitch of the Triumph, with woolly nylon thread in the loopers. You sew it on the wrong side so the looper threads will make a decorative chain stitch on the right side of the quilt. I’m not sure if the Triumph has the Wave stitch like the Ovation does, but that would be a decorative option too.
That is my next serging adventure 😊. Yes, the Triumph has the wave stitch! I just received some woolly nylon along with some 8 & 12 weight thread in the mail 😊. Make sure you’re subscribed. I’m uploading a video Monday using my new threads😊. Thank you so much for the guidance & commenting. I appreciate you being here. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
@@TalohaStudios you could totally make a whole new way of finishing edges of quilts and make a new style. You could finish with serger stitching or wave stitch, and then do two or three rows of coverstitch with fancy thick threads. So have a new kind of edging decorations instead of binding. It’s not traditional but who cares? Nothing wrong with traditional of course, but there are no “Quilt Police”. It is YOUR fabric art!!!
YES!!! 👏🏽 I will do just that! 😊 Thank you so much for the inspiration. I can’t wait to wake up in the morning & try out your fabulous ideas. And yes, no quilting police here! We are on our way to quilting innovation!! Let’s do this my quilty friend! 🥰
Now that my friend is an amazing idea!!😊 I’ll make a video using a zigzag stitch and sewing off enough for a long tail in the next 2 weeks 😊. Thanks so much for sharing this idea. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss that video when I upload it. I’ll see you then 😊👋🏽
Anything involving handquilting is calming to my anxiety prone brain!😂. However, I know many that don't like to do it AND I do like the look of the serged edges.
I hear ya. Hand binding is amazing satisfying 😊. I admire those of you who are good at it 😊. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I hope you subscribe for more off the beaten path quilting videos. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
I have used my serger on quilts, and smaller projects - like place mats - for a long time. If you don’t want your corners to have that tail of threads, cut your corners to be a curve. I would have tried to follow the tumbler angles, and see if that would work.
Hi & Thanks for commenting!😊 Now following the tumbler angles is an excellent idea! I would’ve never thought of that one. I will try cutting the corners to be a curve on my next project. I appreciate you being here & hope you subscribe for more off the beaten path quilting videos. I’ll see you in the next video 😊👋🏽
Absolutely yes! 😊 I’ve since purchased one and will be using it moving forward. Thank you so much for this tip & for commenting, I appreciate it. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss my next video Monday using this technique on a different project. I’ll see you then 😊👋🏽
Thank you for commenting & sharing 😊. Well now you have a new technique you can use! If you don’t have a serger, I’ll be making a video on how to achieve this goal using a zigzag stitch on a regular sewing machine. Either way, I would love it if you would subscribe. That way you won’t miss more videos on off the beaten path quilting videos. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
I serge the outside edge, fold it and stitch most of my quilts and I make no apologies. My quilting club is appalled by it, but it works for me and those I make quilts for.
Yay! 😊 Our quilts are our own individual creations. The quilting community is a wonderful community and it’s makes me sad that others are so critical when other people don’t do things “their” way or don’t “follow the rules”. I’m so glad you’re here and I hope you subscribe to see more videos on quilting techniques that are off the beaten path. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
Thank you! 😊 Yes, several of other quilters have suggested that to me. I’ve since purchased one & have since used that method. I appreciate your guidance & feedback. Please subscribe & join me for more off the beaten path quilting videos😊👋🏽
I’m not a quilter but after I answered your reply and threw out more ideas, my brain got over active with ideas. It happens🙄. You could serge the edges then sew ribbon around the perimeter of the quilt. Or Rick-rack… or lace. I need to stop now. You’ll think of more ideas I’m sure!
Ooh! No that sounds amazing😊. Now you’ve got my mind going as well & I love it 😂. Rick-rack & ribbons! I’ll buy some and try it out. Stay tuned my quilty friend😊.
For some of us, it really is a challenge! 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for commenting. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss my next video using this technique on placemats. I’ll see you then 😊👋🏽
Woohoo! 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Make sure you’re subscribed. I’m uploading another video Monday using the same technique on a different type of quilting project 😊👋🏽
Thank you for sharing your thoughts 😊. Yes, finding our own happy place with quilting is the goal. I appreciate your feedback & hope you’ll join me for another video 😊👋🏽
Absolutely, same for all of us 😊 We can all find a way to enjoy this quilting craft and share with others. Thanks for commenting. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽

Thanks for commenting & asking. Well… you can bury the serger threads between the serger stitches😊. I’m not sure how to bury them within the quilt sandwich itself 🤷♀️ If someone in the community can answer this for us that would be appreciated 😊
Thanks for commenting😊. I’m not sure how to hide the serger threads within the quilt sandwich. If someone in the community knows how, please share with us 😊
I totally understand😂. Hopefully this technique inspires you to try another approach. It helps bring the joy back to your project when you don’t have to do traditional binding AND your project gets finished instead of remaining a “work in progress”. Thanks for sharing. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
I love this idea, especially for a scrappy quilt, it would add to that scrappy feeling. thanks for the idea!

I’m just learning and would love to watch you do this. Very interesting
Thank you for commenting😊. I will do more videos with more details & showing the process. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss them. 😊👋🏽
I love this and you explain it so well.i have broken so many needles while binding a quilt even with good needles a very good machine with walking foot built in, I just don’t get it. I have learned on new way using the backing brought around to the front t. It works well but always looking for other ways. I have macular degeneration in my right eye so I have that little stumbling block. Thank you for doing this video. Please do more
Thank you & my pleasure 😊. Thanks for having the courage to share about your right eye macular degeneration. I’m a nurse practitioner so I totally understand your visual challenges 😊.

Hi Tammi,
Wow this is definitely interesting! I think I’m gonna try this method!
Shew anything to make that binding easier, that’s my least favorite
part also. Thanks for sharing, I’m so glad you popped up in my feed!
❤ so nice to meet you!

That’s right MaryJo, do what makes you happy! 😊 Thank you so much for commenting😊 I’ll see you in the next video😊👋🏽
I don’t have a surfer but this is a great idea. I saw some Sulky neon colored threat and bright colors that glow in the dark. Using that would make a fun quilt for a youth.
That was supposed to say surger
Hi👋🏽. Thank you so much for sharing this idea! Using neon & bright color threads is an amazing idea. I’ll be sure to purchase some and add them to my thread collection.

I would try this on a smaller project. Thanks for sharing
Wonderful. I’m uploading a video Monday where I’ll be doing this project on placemats. Hopefully that inspires you as well. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss it. Thank you for commenting, I’ll see you in the next video 😊👋🏽
Great idea! I'll be using it for the quilts I make for around here. Im not much fond of binding, either. One thing I've done to give the look of binding is to sew a 1 1/2" contrasting color border. Then sew the layers together in the inside out envelope style. I turn the quilt right sides out. I topstitch 1/4" from the edge, then stitch in the ditch the "binding" border. It looks bound, but isnt. I usually tie most of my quilts, so this method works well for me. There are no quilt police in our sewing spaces, unless we invite them in!🎉
Yes! 😊The process you described sounds like a great hack to traditional binding. I appreciate you commenting and sharing. Make sure you’re subscribed. I’m uploading another serger binding video for a different project Monday. I’m so glad you’re here, I’ll see you in my next video. 😊👋🏽
I think this is interesting. Never thought of this. Binding can definitely be a hassle. I already told my quilting friend! ❤
Oh my stars, thank you for telling your quilty friend! 😊. Make sure you guys are subscribed, I’m going to do another video showing the details next week. 😊👋🏽
I love the binding because it is almost done then. LOL But I still find this interesting and would certainly use it if I wanted. Might come in handy in a pinch. I am with you in that I don't quilt to enter in shows...if i were near where a small one was held, I might just for people to have something to look at...but not expecting i had a chance of winning.
Thanks for commenting & sharing! I love your profile image, so cute😊. You’re right, it’s always good to have another tool in your toolbox. Traditional binding definitely is an acquired skill 😊. I appreciate you being here, make sure you subscribe for more off the beaten path quilting videos 😊👋🏽
I also do it like you. Especially with place mats and other projects on the table (because there is no bulk from the binding, it‘s much more flat!). I have a Babylock machine (same like you) and use mostly the Wavelock-stitch for this method. I also recommend rounded corners. Than you have just one tail to hide! Thank you for your video! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this! 😊 I’m going to make placemats this weekend for one of my patients. I will try the Wave stitch. I’ll need to practice my rounded corners before I film it, but that will definitely be my next step because I love this technique so much😊. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss my video on Monday. I appreciate you & will see you then 😊👋🏽
🎉Thanks so much for investigating how well this process holds up. While I don't dislike binding & will continue adding them on the comfort quilts I donate, its always useful to have another technique in your toolbox. I might try the fancy thread suggested in another comment for NICU covers. I love my Accuquilt for cutting strips, that's my least favorite part of quilting
My pleasure & thank you for commenting 😊. I am an absolute AccuQuilt fan girl 🥰. I can’t quilt without it 😂. This technique is absolutely a beautiful idea for charity quilts. Make sure you’re subscribed. I got my “fancy” thread in the mail and will be uploading another video Monday showing more details on the technique. I’ll see you then 😊👋🏽
❤different for sure and need to use my serger more often.
Cool! 😊 Thank you for commenting. Make sure you’re subscribed. I’m uploading another quilt serger technique on Monday. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
I think you should be using the wave stitch with your serger on the edges of your quilt, that would be beautiful. I have made my first quilt and was able to put the binding on using my sewing machine and then I hand stitched the binding on the back. When I make my next quilt I plan to use the wave stitch on the edge.
Hey Tiesha😊. Congratulations on the completion of your first quilt 👏🏽! And you added binding that included hand stitching, way to go! You are on point with using the wave stitch. I’ve used it in recent projects and it is beautiful. That’s for commenting. I appreciate you being here and your support 😊👍🏽
I think this is a good idea. Thank you.
My pleasure 😊. Thanks for watching & commenting. Make sure you’re subscribed. I’ll be uploading another project Monday using this technique. I’ll see you then 😊👋🏽
Love your channel. I think you and I are at about the same level in our quilting adventure. I've learned that there is a thread that's called "woolly thread" that is often used for this purpose. There is a bit of fuzz on it so the seam looks more contiguous/'closed'. Also, I'm not familiar with embroidery machines, but shouldn't there be a stitch on one of those that would accomplish this? Anyone? Asking for a friend. lol
Thank you so much for commenting 😊. I’m glad you found the channel! If you have a modern sewing machine with decorative stitches, you can achieve this stitch look. However, it won’t cut off the extra fabric so you’ll have to “square up” your quilt sandwich before you finish the edges with the decorative stitches. I’ve used the wooly nylon thread & it comes out beautifully. I have both commercial & domestic embroidery machines and unfortunately it’s not feasible to do this process with those machines. Your best bet if you don’t have a serger is to use decorative stitches or bind your project the traditional way. Please make sure you’re subscribed & I’ll see you in the next video. Cheers 😊👋🏽
I like binding but SUCK at it. This is genius!! Have a surger and was wondering what else I could do with it. Thank you.😊
Groovy! 😊 Make sure you’re subscribed, I’m uploading another binding with your serger technique video this Monday. Thanks for commenting and I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
@@TalohaStudios I am now.
Thank you 🙏🏽 🥰
Tammi, try using a metal crochet hook to bury your tails. It can even be used if you cut the tail tool short because you insert the hook and pull the thread tail through.
Oh my stars, that’s an excellent idea!!! 😊 I’ll buy one today. Thanks so much for sharing this with me. I’m going to use it in my next video coming out Monday 😊. I appreciate you being here. Make sure your subscribed so you don’t miss my next video😊👋🏽
Thank you for the video. Maybe you could try a very small crochet hook to pull that short end.
My pleasure & thank you for commenting 😊. Yes, since making this video I’ve learned how to do the crochet hook technique 😊. I appreciate your comment and would love it if you’d subscribe and join me for more off the beaten path quilting videos 😊👋🏽
You could use the cover stitch of the Triumph, with woolly nylon thread in the loopers. You sew it on the wrong side so the looper threads will make a decorative chain stitch on the right side of the quilt. I’m not sure if the Triumph has the Wave stitch like the Ovation does, but that would be a decorative option too.
That is my next serging adventure 😊. Yes, the Triumph has the wave stitch! I just received some woolly nylon along with some 8 & 12 weight thread in the mail 😊. Make sure you’re subscribed. I’m uploading a video Monday using my new threads😊. Thank you so much for the guidance & commenting. I appreciate you being here. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
@@TalohaStudios you could totally make a whole new way of finishing edges of quilts and make a new style. You could finish with serger stitching or wave stitch, and then do two or three rows of coverstitch with fancy thick threads. So have a new kind of edging decorations instead of binding. It’s not traditional but who cares? Nothing wrong with traditional of course, but there are no “Quilt Police”. It is YOUR fabric art!!!
YES!!! 👏🏽 I will do just that! 😊 Thank you so much for the inspiration. I can’t wait to wake up in the morning & try out your fabulous ideas. And yes, no quilting police here! We are on our way to quilting innovation!! Let’s do this my quilty friend! 🥰
I’m going to try this on my sewing machine. I’ll just put a somewhat tight zigzag stitch around the edges of my quilt.
Now that my friend is an amazing idea!!😊 I’ll make a video using a zigzag stitch and sewing off enough for a long tail in the next 2 weeks 😊. Thanks so much for sharing this idea. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss that video when I upload it. I’ll see you then 😊👋🏽
Anything involving handquilting is calming to my anxiety prone brain!😂. However, I know many that don't like to do it AND I do like the look of the serged edges.
I hear ya. Hand binding is amazing satisfying 😊. I admire those of you who are good at it 😊. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I hope you subscribe for more off the beaten path quilting videos. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
I have used my serger on quilts, and smaller projects - like place mats - for a long time. If you don’t want your corners to have that tail of threads, cut your corners to be a curve.
I would have tried to follow the tumbler angles, and see if that would work.
Hi & Thanks for commenting!😊 Now following the tumbler angles is an excellent idea! I would’ve never thought of that one. I will try cutting the corners to be a curve on my next project. I appreciate you being here & hope you subscribe for more off the beaten path quilting videos. I’ll see you in the next video 😊👋🏽
You could also use a fine crochet hook to weave that short serger thread.
Absolutely yes! 😊 I’ve since purchased one and will be using it moving forward. Thank you so much for this tip & for commenting, I appreciate it. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss my next video Monday using this technique on a different project. I’ll see you then 😊👋🏽
I am with you. Binding is my least favorite thing in quilting.
Thank you for commenting & sharing 😊. Well now you have a new technique you can use! If you don’t have a serger, I’ll be making a video on how to achieve this goal using a zigzag stitch on a regular sewing machine. Either way, I would love it if you would subscribe. That way you won’t miss more videos on off the beaten path quilting videos. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
I serge the outside edge, fold it and stitch most of my quilts and I make no apologies. My quilting club is appalled by it, but it works for me and those I make quilts for.
Yay! 😊 Our quilts are our own individual creations. The quilting community is a wonderful community and it’s makes me sad that others are so critical when other people don’t do things “their” way or don’t “follow the rules”. I’m so glad you’re here and I hope you subscribe to see more videos on quilting techniques that are off the beaten path. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
You might try using a very small crochet needle to weave from the seam toward the corner and pull the thread through
Thank you! 😊 Yes, several of other quilters have suggested that to me. I’ve since purchased one & have since used that method. I appreciate your guidance & feedback. Please subscribe & join me for more off the beaten path quilting videos😊👋🏽
As someone who hates doing corners, a compromise is to make large rounded corners, then the edging can go continuously around.
Great tip! 😊 Thanks for commenting & sharing. I’m glad the video sparked a little creativity for you. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
What an interesting idea! Do you use bias binding then, too? Or do you just tolerate the slightly rolled edges at those rounded corners?
I’m not a quilter but after I answered your reply and threw out more ideas, my brain got over active with ideas. It happens🙄. You could serge the edges then sew ribbon around the perimeter of the quilt. Or Rick-rack… or lace. I need to stop now. You’ll think of more ideas I’m sure!
Ooh! No that sounds amazing😊. Now you’ve got my mind going as well & I love it 😂. Rick-rack & ribbons! I’ll buy some and try it out. Stay tuned my quilty friend😊.
I hear ya! I don’t like binding either, in fact I kinda dread it.
For some of us, it really is a challenge! 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for commenting. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss my next video using this technique on placemats. I’ll see you then 😊👋🏽
I do the same thing too.
Yay! 😊 Thanks for commenting. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
Yes!!!!
Woohoo! 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Make sure you’re subscribed. I’m uploading another video Monday using the same technique on a different type of quilting project 😊👋🏽
Definitely not something I would do but I'm not the quilt police. I believe each person should make the quilt that makes them happy.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts 😊. Yes, finding our own happy place with quilting is the goal. I appreciate your feedback & hope you’ll join me for another video 😊👋🏽
Safer and looks better to just sew and turn inside out. Especially for baby quilts
Great idea Valerie 😊! Thanks for sharing & commenting. I appreciate your feedback & hope you’ll join me for another video 😊👋🏽
If it works for you that is all that matters.
Absolutely, same for all of us 😊 We can all find a way to enjoy this quilting craft and share with others. Thanks for commenting. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
I spend hours working on my quilts. I would never ever do this to a quilt
That’s great you enjoy the binding process 😊. It’s your beautiful work of art and your choice on how you finish it 😊
My son's cat hunts down any wool in the house and absolutely destroys it! I had to get a locking tote to store my wool trims, yarn, hoods, etc 😹
That is absolutely hilarious 😂😂. The adventures we encounter as a quilter never ceases to amaze me😊! Thank you so much for coming. I’d love it if you’d subscribe and join me for more off the beaten path quilting videos. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽

My pleasure! Thank you so much for subscribing 😊. I’m just getting started and we’re going to have a lot of fun on this channel 😊. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
I have gone from traditional binding to the facing process, it's much easier.
Yay! I’m glad you’ve found a technique that’s easier than traditional binding 😊. Thank you so much for commenting. I hope you subscribe for more off the beaten path quilting videos. I’ll see you in the next video 😊👋🏽
i couldn.t find if someone told you can bury your serger threads into the quit
Thanks for commenting & asking. Well… you can bury the serger threads between the serger stitches😊. I’m not sure how to bury them within the quilt sandwich itself 🤷♀️ If someone in the community can answer this for us that would be appreciated 😊
Thanks for commenting😊. I’m not sure how to hide the serger threads within the quilt sandwich. If someone in the community knows how, please share with us 😊
I also deeply hate binding. It is the only part of quilting that I don’t love 😂
I totally understand😂. Hopefully this technique inspires you to try another approach. It helps bring the joy back to your project when you don’t have to do traditional binding AND your project gets finished instead of remaining a “work in progress”. Thanks for sharing. I’ll see you in my next video 😊👋🏽
