Love your no- nonsense method of teaching and explaining things simply and without drama. By that I mean the way some quilters/sewers caution too much that this or that can happen and it sounds catastrophic. You give scenarios of things that could go wrong, but it's very serene and you let us know some things don't matter, or that it's fixable. Most of us watching all these quilting videos are new to sewing, rusty, still learning or insecure about our sewing. It helps when the teacher is more matter-of- fact than cautious. Thank you.
Thank you so much Natalie -- I've been quilting for years and years but have always hand finished the binding on the back. After all those years, my hands have gotten pretty gnarly with arthritis, but 100% machine binding has always resulted in an ugly mess. This tutorial has made the rest of my quilting life so much easier and rewarding. Thank you again!
I’ve watched “binding”by everyone on the tube and you are the first one that does it where I can understand how to end it correctly. Thanks for your tips and tricks. Even an old lady like me can learn new things. God Bless
The same is true for me. I only hope that same day I will not have to rewatch the video every time I am ready to join the ends of the binding. Until then, I watch that part again.
I return to this Video time and again to remind myself about how to do flange binding. This method, via this tutorial with Natalie, has made all the difference in my skill when it comes to finishing my quilts. Thank you for this particular lesson!😊
This was my first time watching a video with Natalie and I have to say she is definitely my favourite. She has a way of confidently explaining the process and doesn’t rush through any steps. Thank you
Miss Natalie. Thank You Thank You for sharing this technique. I absolutely Love watching you Mother and her tutorials. You are fantastic. Love watching you
Thank you Natalie....somehow your explanation of mitering the binding strip FINALLY made sense and I got it! It was important that you had the full plus - not joined edges to begin with. Overlapping. I love that you are so patient and peaceful.
The best, easiest way to bind. Natalie, you are so calm and straight forward with all your instructions and tips. This is now my go to binding tutorial ! Thanks
Doing a flange binding or even regular bindings on small projects like mug rugs, placemats, or hot pads is a great way to practice the skills Natalie is sharing. Thanks for another great video!
I have done this with potholders, and getting the last bit of binding sewn to the beginning bit is actually a little harder than it is on a larger piece - just a heads up... (especially with potholder batting often being stiffer than "normal" quilt batting and usually a tighter/more dense quilt pattern).
This video is probably the best I have seen and will make my joining the ends of the binding. This is where I struggle on binding. I also love the ease of having the flange as a guide. I have been attaching my binding to the back first since I started quilting. I just makes more sense to me. Thank you for the great tips.
You two make me smile.😁 Thank you for your honesty about not being perfect : Also for reassuring me that my quilt doesn't have to be perfect. I like that "Smile more.. Stress less."! I have to remind myself that I quilt for enjoyment not perfection.. Thank you ladies for another wonderful video!!!! Also thank you for sharing that hot tip about that appli-glue trick and ironing. It is difficult for me to hand sew on the binding I prefer to sew on the machine, but even that pulling and tugging wears out my hands and fingers (arthritis). I'm trying that glue trick. Natalie and Liz I just love the way you all teach!!! Thanks for these videos!! Bless you both!!
Oh Natalie.... THANK YOU sooooo much for showing this... especially the glue! I usually have a million wonder clips and feel like I am wrestling with my quilt and I think that is why a LOT of people hate binding... Brilliant!!
Thank you for the motivation to finish up a king size quilt that I have had laying around for 2 years. I saw your tutorial on the flange binding, and I knew that is what I wanted to do on this quilt. I finished it up today, and it is beautiful. I have had a love/hate relationship with this quilt for a very long time. I now love it!!
I have made a dozen or so quilts and I have tried every method possible for joining the ends of the binding. I just used your method and it is the first one that it came out perfect the first time! Thank you Natalie!
I really enjoy your "no big deal...just get it done" attitude. I sew charity quilts for Project Linus and have to tell myself all the time that "done is better than perfect" or complicated. I save the try to be close to perfect for quilts for me because I can. Love this flange idea... a lot. It adds that little extra touch of special. Thanks Nat. Happy Holidays.
Per Jenny "Finished is better than perfect." Quote is on lots of notions you can get from MSQC...I have a magnet and bookmark with the quote. Happy quilting!
I've used school glue but the Apple glue has a narrow tip which seems to control the amount of glue better. The first time I did the flange binding I never went back. It looks so elegant and compliments the quilt. Watching a tutorial refreshes my brain cells to understand the procedure needed to get the job done. Thanks so much for sharing your method.
The best design advice I ever got was, "blend, don't match". It works in all creative sewing endeavors...fabric, thread, etc. Thanks for the great video.
Grest advice. I probably learned in a quilting class years ago to lay the thread on the fabric as Natalie showed vs the spool. Now I work at a big box store and show the thread on the fabric to customers when they are torn on thread color.
Natalie this is the easiest tutorial for a flanged binding I have seen. The way you used the piece you cut off as the measurement for cutting the bInding to join at the end was super easy and helpful. Joining the ends of the binding has always been confusing when I watch tutorials. Yours was amazingly straightforward. Thank you for this tutorial. Merry Christmas to you and everyone at MSQC!!
Great visual description of joining the binding, I ripped my diagonal seam out a few times yesterday as the binding was twisted once I stitched it together. I was sat at the machine with my block magazine trying to figure it out. Seeing it on video makes it much clearer. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you Natalie for this tutorial. This is the 3rd binding on my Present Quilt and the "Final" binding! So happy to have had your help. Sending extra big hugs...😚😚😚😚
Natalie, you are a great teacher, you use humor and are willing to admit mistakes which puts me at ease. Thank you for this lesson. I just discovered this tutorial. It was a big help in finishing my great grandsons quilt. ❤
Natalie, I have been having problems with my binding, especially the joining. So, I watched your tutorial several times and using the width of the binding, and Natalie, it works. I will be watching each time that I have to do a binding. At least, until I gain my confidence. many thanks to you.
Love The Final Stitch. And Natalie I so enjoy how you teach--no pressure, just sweet and gentle. You're my favorite of "the trio", but Misty and Jenny are great too.
One of the best videos yet Natalie. Thank you for sharing this tip on the binding. I seem to always struggle with finishing my bindings. Your new technique looks much easier taking the guess work out of it. I truly love the idea of adding the flange binding. What a way to dress up your quilts!
Oh my gosh Natalie, I have watched this video so many times. When I watch I get my binding perfect, if I think ....ok I got this... and don't watch, I mess up. Thank you again for this video that helps me do my binding correctly. ( matching the ends)
Natalie every time I watch one of your videos I think I couldn't enjoy them more. Then I come across another great tip. I've been sewing for more than 50 years and still learning lots. Thank you.
This video has been so helpful. Never heard of flange binding and also the finishing of binding has left me depressed so many times. Thank you for your wonderful help,Natalie
wow i love how you teach, just like your momma, i have had problems with binding no matter how many times ive watched anyone do it but i think if i keep watching this i will get a better hang of it, thanks so much Nat!
Thank you! I love how these videos are out there forever, this is perfect timeing for me to find this..I love the peek of color on the front and I for sure will be happier with my machine stitched bindings that will not show extra stitch lines on the back. You are such a great teacher, and humble to share what you have learned from mistakes.
I love your teaching too, Natalie, your voice is so clear and calm. All three of you are a pleasure to spend time with, and I enjoy the contrast in your teaching styles and design solutions.
Great video, Natalie. Many good tips. I’ve been gluing my fold over ever since Sharon Schamber showed it when she won the big prize at International Quilt Festival years ago. One additional thing I do is sew the binding on an untrimmed quilt. I can then trim EXACTLY the distance I want from the seam line. Then I fold and glue and stitch. On the flanged binding, I often use pieces already cut at 2” (one of the sizes in my scrap stash). I sew them and fold the flange in, then trim the whole long strip to 1” or 1.25” before sewing on.
Melanezoe, This is a great idea. When there is no border on the quilt I don't want the binding to overlap points along the edge (e.g., stars or triangles). I have been thinking of trimming wider than the quilt so binding comes to front without overlapping those points., but is hard to know how much batting/backing to leave. Your idea to sew the binding FIRST, then trim the batt/back is perfect. Thanks.
@@jillbennett8334 glad it is useful, Jill. After it’s sewn on, I fold the binding in half to see how wide it really will be. That’s the amount I trim to. Usually between 1/4” and 3/8”.
Watched your mom do it and followed her example because she too is left handed., long time ago. Today I forgot how, thank goodness you had the camera on how you placed the fabric. Vola!! You saved my day! I love you!
Thank you so much Natalie! I've only ever done machine binding but didn't know about the trick you showed at the end to link the two pieces together so that they are snug. Game changer! I love this series!!
Again the Doan girls have taught me a very useful tip. Thank you for making the stress of finish binding EASY. Who thought the word easy and binding would be in the same sentence? Thank you Natalie. You are your mother's daughter.
Hi Natalie, My name is Lupe Vargas I live in Enoch, Ut. My sister started teaching me how to quilt in 2008 and I liked it ever since but when I started watching your mothers tutorials I learned to love it. I have always done my binding by hand but sometimes it take me a while to finish so I tried to do it by machine the results were not good UNTIL! I saw your video on Final Stitch on binding. I just finished a guilt using your technique and I love it. It is so much easier and looks great. Thank you for helping us all find easier and effective ways to quilt. I have learned so much from Jenny and you. I met your mother when she came out to Lehi, UT. in 2011. Loved her. Thanks again I will keep watching
This was great! That flange binding looks terrific and is so easy. I like the tip about the glue. It certainly looks easier than clips or pins (which always end up giving me pokes!). It also seems more sensible to stitch the binding to the back and flip to the front. You could do this with ordinary binding too (though you wouldn't have the nice flange). It would be great to have a tip sheet for this that we could print out. Love Natalie's quiet teaching style!
This is my go to video for binding! I have a problem of twisting the ends together when I connect the last two pieces. I just pull this video up and never fail, it works. God Bless you! Of all the family, you are my favorite!
Mathieu, I really enjoy watching your videos, I find you so relaxing to listen to and you always have great tip and new techniques to teach. Our taste is very similar as I watch your Triple Play videos, I often find myself drawn to your quilt the most. Also you make thing very real by sharing your challenge in quilting. Thank you for that. 🙂🇨🇦
Dear Natalie, thank you for the great details on machine binding. You simplified the process and explained every step beautifully. I'm very new at completing my quilts without help from my sister and your instructions took the pressure off. Thanks again!❤
I watched your video 3 times and then did my binding. I finished it just like you did and it worked! That was an hallelujah moment! Thank you for your wonderful videos!!!
What a wonderful video tutorial! Thank you for the tip on this product called ‘Appli-glue’ I can’t wait to get some. Also the flange binding is definitely extra special and adds to the quilt, like a pro! 🌟👏🏻
Thank you. I am a new quilter. I just finished my third quilt and while I do enjoy hand sewing the binding I am in a hurry to get things done for Christmas. This tutorial is just what I needed. Are you saying apple glue? I am going to order some. This is the first video I have watched with just you. Your are an excellent teacher. I love the speed you teach at, your sweet attitude and that million dollar smile. It is amazing to me what I have accomplished thanks to you and your mom. Thank you.
This is such an amazing method!!!! All these years I have been machine binding the hard way and dealing with annoying stitching on the backing and joining the ends the hard way. The appli-glue tip, omg! Thank you so much, Natalie!! I am so ready to be done by the time I'm binding and this will make it so much faster and less frustrating! Your tips literally covered all the parts of machine binding that frustrate me the most and eat up time. You rock!!! 😄🎉
Natalie, you're a treasure. In your hands everything seems easier. Theese little tips are priceless. Thank you for being such a good teacher. MSQC is my favourite site. And store.
Natalie, Thank you so very much for this tutorial!! I hate to hand stitch, and am not very goodt at machine binding - yet! This technique is fantastic! I love your style of instruction - it's like virtual quilting with a good friend!
I am loving this Final Stitch series. This is the stage when some of my quilt tops go into a drawer....potentially never to be seen again. You have tackled a lot of the road blocks a lot of us have with our quilting projects and I feel like I can actually finish some of those forgotten projects- yay! I love your videos Natalie- please keep them coming 😃💖
Of all the hudreds of videos I have watched ... this is my very favorite! I love the flange binding and the simple way to connect the binding ends. I was sorry I missed the family 2 weeks ago when I flew to Kansas City just so I could spend a day at MSQC. Thank you ladies!
I want to thank you. I have been trying to attach my binding at the end (joining the ends together) forever. I have watched your Mom, I have ordered the binding tool, everything. Finally though something you did clicked! I can now do it and I am so proud so THANK YOU!
Followed your binding steps (watched multiple times!) and my first binding came out perfectly! Now we'll see how the hand finishing goes. Thank you Natalie!
Natalie, After binge watching your entire videos, I have learned so much even after quilting for over 30 years! I loved the way you guided us through all the steps. Plus you gave me some great ideas that I never thought about. Take care..... Brenda
I've never seen this type of binding done before. It is awesome and can't wait to try it. Thank you, Natalie, for sharing this. You are a great teacher and make everything so clear.
This is SUCH a great video! It’s absolutely the best tutorial I’ve seen on machine binding. As always, Natalie gives clear instructions and demonstrates each step in the process. The Final Stitch with Natalie is one of my very favourite quilting segments. Thanks to Natalie. 🧵 🪡💜 Ontario 🇨🇦
Bye. Love your style and mannerisms. Like another person wrote, You girls are treasures!!! Tell your Mom that we all envy her having such great “Daughters” in her life!!!!
Love the Tula fabrics!!! I always put my binding on by machine, back to front. I have never tried the flanged binding. Your explanation was the easiest to understand and I have watched several others sew this. Thanks Natalie for another great video.
I love Jenny and Misty! But, I think I love Natalie just a little bit more ❤️❤️. Great video and tips! I’ve never done a flange anything. I’m definitely feeling more confident after watching this.
I I think I’ve watching this one 2 or 3 times! I love this video! I’m a beginner quilter and I have so much trouble with bindings… this video makes it so easy to understand. I love the look of this binding technique! Thank you!
This video has saved me many times…joining the ends ALWAYS throws me for a loop.😅 You calmly talk me through it & that works every time.❤
Love your no- nonsense method of teaching and explaining things simply and without drama. By that I mean the way some quilters/sewers caution too much that this or that can happen and it sounds catastrophic. You give scenarios of things that could go wrong, but it's very serene and you let us know some things don't matter, or that it's fixable. Most of us watching all these quilting videos are new to sewing, rusty, still learning or insecure about our sewing. It helps when the teacher is more matter-of- fact than cautious. Thank you.
back again to say..... the only time I get this right the first time..... is when I watch this , Natalie! Can't thank you enough. Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much Natalie -- I've been quilting for years and years but have always hand finished the binding on the back. After all those years, my hands have gotten pretty gnarly with arthritis, but 100% machine binding has always resulted in an ugly mess. This tutorial has made the rest of my quilting life so much easier and rewarding. Thank you again!
I’ve watched “binding”by everyone on the tube and you are the first one that does it where I can understand how to end it correctly. Thanks for your tips and tricks. Even an old lady like me can learn new things. God Bless
I totally agree!!! Even this old lady finally ended a binding on the first try - yaaaaaaa
Ditto. Excellent explanations.
It
And they all do it so darn fast. I like the way MSQC folks do it Slow enough, and explain, so we can actually follow it, let alone remember it!!
The same is true for me. I only hope that same day I will not have to rewatch the video every time I am ready to join the ends of the binding. Until then, I watch that part again.
"Stress less, smile more" .... best advice EVER! Really enjoyed this lesson.
I return to this
Video time and again to remind myself about how to do flange binding. This method, via this tutorial with Natalie, has made all the difference in my skill when it comes to finishing my quilts. Thank you for this particular lesson!😊
Love the way YOU teach. Your voice is easy to listen to and you do it with NO stress ! Thank you !
Natalie is such a great teacher. It is super obvious during triple play, that Natalie is wicked smart. Good for us!!
This was my first time watching a video with Natalie and I have to say she is definitely my favourite. She has a way of confidently explaining the process and doesn’t rush through any steps. Thank you
Yes, Natalie brightens my day.
Yes, the best instructor!
Miss Natalie. Thank You Thank You for sharing this technique. I absolutely Love watching you Mother and her tutorials. You are fantastic. Love watching you
Thank you Natalie....somehow your explanation of mitering the binding strip FINALLY made sense and I got it! It was important that you had the full plus - not joined edges to begin with. Overlapping. I love that you are so patient and peaceful.
Thank you for showing me how to finish the binding. You make it so easy. I went step by step and paused the video while doing what you had done.
I never knew the flanged binding was so simple, thank you Natalie!
Natalie, Thanks for giving us that “light bulb moment” on bindings! Amazing! You make beginners feel like they can do anything!!!
Thank very much really enjoy!
H
I love Natalie’s videos. She’s my favorite.
Nathalie I would just like to say that you brighten up my day because your kindness shines through your face !
Thank you for this lovely tutorial !
The best, easiest way to bind. Natalie, you are so calm and straight forward with all your instructions and tips. This is now my go to binding tutorial ! Thanks
Once again, your an amazing teacher. This Old lady understands when you teach.
Loved your lesson. No drama. Just simple instruction and so easy going with it. I have learnt something new today thanks to you.
Yup, flange is the way to go! Love it, and it is easier!
Doing a flange binding or even regular bindings on small projects like mug rugs, placemats, or hot pads is a great way to practice the skills Natalie is sharing. Thanks for another great video!
A great idea! Thanks for the tip.
That’s is a great idea! Maybe I’ll do a doll quilt before I try to finish my Granddaughter’s quilt. Brilliant!
I have done this with potholders, and getting the last bit of binding sewn to the beginning bit is actually a little harder than it is on a larger piece - just a heads up... (especially with potholder batting often being stiffer than "normal" quilt batting and usually a tighter/more dense quilt pattern).
Good idea, practice!
Natalie, I really like this flange idea. Have you done this on big quilts and still sewed by machine?
This video is probably the best I have seen and will make my joining the ends of the binding. This is where I struggle on binding. I also love the ease of having the flange as a guide. I have been attaching my binding to the back first since I started quilting. I just makes more sense to me. Thank you for the great tips.
Natalie, I like that you get to do these final stitch videos because you can take the time to show more details. : )
Thank you for repeatedly saying, “If it doesn’t come out exact, it’s okay!”😍
You two make me smile.😁 Thank you for your honesty about not being perfect : Also for reassuring me that my quilt doesn't have to be perfect. I like that "Smile more.. Stress less."! I have to remind myself that I quilt for enjoyment not perfection.. Thank you ladies for another wonderful video!!!! Also thank you for sharing that hot tip about that appli-glue trick and ironing.

Fabulous. Thank you for sharing your success.
Good for you! (A year late. 🙂.)
Yea!!! Now I understand this method. I have never been able to understand how this is done! Natalie! You’re a great teacher!
I have made a dozen or so quilts and I have tried every method possible for joining the ends of the binding. I just used your method and it is the first one that it came out perfect the first time! Thank you Natalie!
The contrasting color just pops!!! Looks SO pretty! And professional!

I can't wait to try this method of machine binding with flange. So pretty!
So glad your back
I love this flange binding. Thank you, Natalie. I have bound over 50 quilts and watched lots of videos, and this was the best one yet.
This is the best demonstration to connect the binding ends. I could never get it--now I do!!! thank you Natalie!

Yes!! Loving these tutorials!
Love The Final Stitch. And Natalie I so enjoy how you teach--no pressure, just sweet and gentle. You're my favorite of "the trio", but Misty and Jenny are great too.
I enjoy all the videos but sometimes I find Misty just a little too scattered for my taste. But that’s just my way of learning.
I love them all too. But Natalie is my favorite.
One of the best videos yet Natalie. Thank you for sharing this tip on the binding. I seem to always struggle with finishing my bindings. Your new technique looks much easier taking the guess work out of it. I truly love the idea of adding the flange binding. What a way to dress up your quilts!

Best Binding tutorial EVER... the ending !! and the Appliglue tip !!! Thank you so much Natalie !
EXCELLENT tutorial Natalie! 🧵✔❤
Watched your mom do it and followed her example because she too is left handed., long time ago. Today I forgot how, thank goodness you had the camera on how you placed the fabric. Vola!! You saved my day! I love you!
I am so glad she stopped and showed how to make the corner. That is always the hard spot for me. Great video. Going to watch them all. Thanks
Thank you so much for this flanged binding tutorial. I have quilted for 18 years and your Mom & you now have taught me so much.
Thank you so much Natalie! I've only ever done machine binding but didn't know about the trick you showed at the end to link the two pieces together so that they are snug. Game changer! I love this series!!

I watched your video 3 times and then did my binding. I finished it just like you did and it worked! That was an hallelujah moment! Thank you for your wonderful videos!!!
Thank you, Natalie, for showing how to do a beautiful flanged binding. That was very helpful video. The glue was a wonderful tip! Thanks so much!
What a wonderful video tutorial! Thank you for the tip on this product called ‘Appli-glue’ I can’t wait to get some. Also the flange binding is definitely extra special and adds to the quilt, like a pro! 🌟👏🏻
Thank you. I am a new quilter. I just finished my third quilt and while I do enjoy hand sewing the binding I am in a hurry to get things done for Christmas. This tutorial is just what I needed. Are you saying apple glue? I am going to order some. This is the first video I have watched with just you. Your are an excellent teacher. I love the speed you teach at, your sweet attitude and that million dollar smile. It is amazing to me what I have accomplished thanks to you and your mom. Thank you.
Appliglue
@@jellenfranklin9966 thank you
This is such an amazing method!!!! All these years I have been machine binding the hard way and dealing with annoying stitching on the backing and joining the ends the hard way. The appli-glue tip, omg! Thank you so much, Natalie!! I am so ready to be done by the time I'm binding and this will make it so much faster and less frustrating! Your tips literally covered all the parts of machine binding that frustrate me the most and eat up time. You rock!!! 😄🎉
Natalie, brilliant teacher and excellent video. Well done and thank you.
Love the flange
Natalie, you're a treasure. In your hands everything seems easier.
Theese little tips are priceless. Thank you for being such a good teacher.
MSQC is my favourite site. And store.
Natalie, Thank you so very much for this tutorial!! I hate to hand stitch, and am not very goodt at machine binding - yet! This technique is fantastic! I love your style of instruction - it's like virtual quilting with a good friend!
I am loving this Final Stitch series. This is the stage when some of my quilt tops go into a drawer....potentially never to be seen again. You have tackled a lot of the road blocks a lot of us have with our quilting projects and I feel like I can actually finish some of those forgotten projects- yay!
I love your videos Natalie- please keep them coming 😃💖
Of all the hudreds of videos I have watched ... this is my very favorite! I love the flange binding and the simple way to connect the binding ends. I was sorry I missed the family 2 weeks ago when I flew to Kansas City just so I could spend a day at MSQC. Thank you ladies!
Yay Natalie. You dot all the is and cross all your tees. Amazing lesson. Thank you.
Wish I could give this a ❤️ instead of a 👍. Great advice and I love the complicated look of the flange.
I want to thank you. I have been trying to attach my binding at the end (joining the ends together) forever. I have watched your Mom, I have ordered the binding tool, everything. Finally though something you did clicked! I can now do it and I am so proud so THANK YOU!
Followed your binding steps (watched multiple times!) and my first binding came out perfectly! Now we'll see how the hand finishing goes. Thank you Natalie!
Natalie, After binge watching your entire videos, I have learned so much even after quilting for over 30 years! I loved the way you guided us through all the steps. Plus you gave me some great ideas that I never thought about. Take care..... Brenda
I've never seen this type of binding done before. It is awesome and can't wait to try it. Thank you, Natalie, for sharing this. You are a great teacher and make everything so clear.
This is SUCH a great video! It’s absolutely the best tutorial I’ve seen on machine binding. As always, Natalie gives clear instructions and demonstrates each step in the process. The Final Stitch with Natalie is one of my very favourite quilting segments.
Thanks to Natalie. 🧵 🪡💜

Bye. Love your style and mannerisms. Like another person wrote, You girls are treasures!!! Tell your Mom that we all envy her having such great “Daughters” in her life!!!!
Love the Tula fabrics!!! I always put my binding on by machine, back to front. I have never tried the flanged binding. Your explanation was the easiest to understand and I have watched several others sew this. Thanks Natalie for another great video.
Natalie - I really like your calm, clear and easy to follow instructions. Thank you so much!
I love Jenny and Misty! But, I think I love Natalie just a little bit more ❤️❤️. Great video and tips! I’ve never done a flange anything. I’m definitely feeling more confident after watching this.
Natalie, you are an excellent teacher, thank you !
I I think I’ve watching this one 2 or 3 times! I love this video! I’m a beginner quilter and I have so much trouble with bindings… this video makes it so easy to understand. I love the look of this binding technique! Thank you!
That iron though... amazing!
I really enjoy Natalie’s videos. It’s always good to go back to the basics.
She said it was Appli-glue
