Finally someone other than my grand mother and me using this technique. I just thought she was amazing for coming up with it or that it was old school. Lol thank you for your wonderful videos
I Love the tuck method!!! I don’t understand why quilters make it so hard on themselves by struggling with their quilts to create a join! I’ve used this method before, but the way you do it is even better. The way I first learned it was to bring the binding down to the opening and then tuck it in to the opening for about an inch. Which is fine except that at times my stitching isn’t quite even and then it doesn’t fit. So for me, your way is the best! Thank you for demonstrating it.
Dear Deb, I love your videos and tools. Your explanations are always logical and straightforward, which appeals to me. No guesswork involved. Your quilts are gorgeous. Kind regards from your German subscriber.
Deb, I've seen several start-stop endings, but I like yours very well because of LACK OF BULK at that joining point. Also, marking corners with the pencil removes the guessing one has had to do with the 1/4" ending, then turn, method. In any case, your method--once again--is really an improvement over my former knowledge of binding. BIG THANK YOU! :)
Doing that type of ending looks sooooo much easier than trying to wrestle the whole quilt into submission to join the two ends. THANKS!!! And keep these great videos coming... I learn so much 😉
Love your videos, I have learned so much. I just got 3 of your rulers and hope to get some of the technique sheets soon ( limited budget ). Can't wait for the next video, thank you so much for sharing your experiences and knowledge. God bless and take care. Hugs 'n love 🤗🥰
I really,like how you do that tuck when ending binding.I’ve wrestled with mitering those two ends for a long time and usually end up asking a good friend of mind who does it beautifully for help!!! But I now understand that I don’t need a long tail to tuck in (tried that and it does make a bump). Thanks again!!!!!
I do this almost exactly like you do it. I think after watching you, I'll shorten my tail tuck piece so it doesn't tuck so far inside my beginning binding. That should reduce my slight bulk and make it flatter in the process. Thanks for the tip!
There are so many binding/joining methods, it's hard to know which one to do. This one seems easy enough, though so going to give it a try. Love your tools and videos, and would love to attend one of your classes. Interested, too, in the light you use at your machine?
Every time I do binding I do the check that I mention at time 3:44. If the binding is too skinny you need to move your needle over so that you are sewing your binding on with more than a 1/4" seam. I just keep moving my needle to the left until I have it so that when I fold the binding over, the edge of the binding is going just beyond the stitching line. So what you need to keep in mind when doing binding is that for the width of the binding strips you cut you might need to use something other than a 1/4" seam. I hope that this helps you.
Hi Viddy, The Light you are talking about is this one I think. daylightcompany.com/us/slimline-3-table-lamp/. It is the Slimline 3 from the Daylight Company. It is amazing, I am not sure how I sewed without it. The ruler holder was a gift that was custom made by a friends son that just makes them for her. They are out there by others. If you search for Wooden Ruler holder say on Etsy some options should come up and I suggest one with slightly wider groves. Hope that this helps you out.
What I do is at the Ironing board I am set up to press the binding in half so that the upper edge is coming down to meet the lower edge. I make a 45 degree angle cut on the end of the strip so that the angle is going from the lower left to the upper right. Then I fold that edge under 1/4" and then press my binding. I believe that I mentioned this in the end of Episode 28 the basics of binding. If you have more questions please email us from the contact us on our website home page.

This is my favorite way to do binding!
Thank you for the binding tuck method demo. It’s a great technique. Happy Holidays too❤

There are so many ways to bind a quilt. It’s nice to understand the options. Thanks, as always, for your clear, concise tutorials.

I agree completely with you, MsMcQuilty! Deb's good and uses out-of-the-box thinking all the time. :)

Not done that method of ending the binding before - it looks so much easier! Thank you. xx

Love your videos, Deb! I definitely want to do it your way, the Tuck Method, of ending the binding. I angle seams as you do. Have SEW much fun!
I have done my binding like this for years. I miter the last join of the ends, though. I prefer that to tucking the tail in. Another great video!
Good morning, thank you so much for this tip.. amazing!!
Great video. Thank you very much!!!!!
I wish I could gave seen the tuck you ironed in. I'd love to try. Thank you.
great video library, interested in the pattern for small quilt sample , plz advise. love the leaves one hanging on your background also.
Hi Deb, I’d love it if you’d do a video on how to correct the binding when the join ends up at the corner of quilt. Thanks for another great tutorial!
Oh my gosh I have never put binding on that was so easy to finish the ends. thank you.

Thank you so much, and it's a Daylight lamp!
So how do you get the binding to be about the same size on both sides? I always wind up with a skinny binding at the top
Every time I do binding I do the check that I mention at time 3:44. If the binding is too skinny you need to move your needle over so that you are sewing your binding on with more than a 1/4" seam.

Hope all is well Deb. I haven't seen any video's lately.
Hi Deb, What is that light you are using attached to your table? And where do you get your ruler holder in the background.
Hi Viddy,

Gives new meaning to “tucker trimmer”. Or in this case, the “trim & tucker”! 😁
How do you do the beginning edge? You went by too fast and I didn't catch it.
What I do is at the Ironing board I am set up to press the binding in half so that the upper edge is coming down to meet the lower edge. I make a 45 degree angle cut on the end of the strip so that the angle is going from the lower left to the upper right. Then I fold that edge under 1/4" and then press my binding.
