This cheat is oft used, but there is some merit to learning to do it without the cheat. Like many, that final join was my nemesis. I found that being confident in the measure and marking and then pre-mitering (make sure both ends are pointed the same way, right side up) the join with my CG Folded Corner Clipper gave me perfect results (without the gnashing of teeth).

And if you want to, you could always ladder stitch the loose edges

I was surprised at how many quilts are by makers unknown? Tyfs🩷 Oh and that Steampunk piece was incredible!

"Collaborative Quilting", (and its sequel) by Gwen and Freddy Moran, changed my quilting life. Really my whole life. They cleared the way for quiltmakers to explore colour and design in every project....what a lane change from ultra-traditional quilt kits, which were the order of the day. I love traditional but I adore "liberated" quiltmaking.

Great video. I’m inspired to visit the museum. I love Carol’s Cards! They are beautiful cards for many occasions. Carol lives in my town. She is a lovely person. Very creative.

Thanks for making this video it was very enjoyable to watch. I live in MA, I quilt and have never been to the museum! I do have one of their books I ordered online and it's on my list to visit for sure!

@emmajanedreamitquiltit9776 Ай бұрын

What, you are so close! It's definitely worth a road trip. Keep track of their upcoming exhibits and be sure to visit when there are some you'd be particularly interested in. Stay tuned for the other 2-3 videos I'll post about it.

What a fun video. Having a exhibit based on yellow is interesting. We have a quilt musuem here in Virginia that i need to visit sometime during the summer. Looking forward to seeing the next parts of this series.

@emmajanedreamitquiltit9776 Ай бұрын

Yes, basing a quilt exhibit on a color is a great idea. I always struggle with yellow, so it was inspiring to see how others have used it in their quilts.

Wait, where in Virginia? I'm in North Carolina. I'm already thinking road trip.🛣

Hi Emma Jane. This is very similar to how i learned binding at the beginning. I could never quite get it right but after seeing this I think i was doing it wrong. I now do it the traditional way but i love this video and how you showed it.

When you piece your binding strips together do you have to sew diagonally??? Can you just sew a straight line seam and trim it?? Thanks!!!

@emmajanedreamitquiltit9776 2 ай бұрын

Yes! For years I sewed diagonally until one day I’m like- why am I doing this? 😂 Now, I do a straight line seam and trim.

Yes, I found this method on KZbin two years ago, and it changed my life. I no longer have binding fears. It does leave a little more bulk, but like you pointed out, you can't tell once it's finished. So many quilts stayed unfinished before learning this hack. Thanks for sharing. More quilters will hopefully learn this method and save them binding stress.

Hey - you shared my secret 😆. I do a few hand stitches once the binding is folded and sewn down.

@emmajanedreamitquiltit9776 4 ай бұрын

I can see why you would want to do that with all the bulk in that spot.

@wendywilson1736 4 ай бұрын

Yes, that is how I've been doing it for years. That bit that the quilt books showed us in the 70s?? I tried it twice, and discovered this works just as well, and I haven't pulled my hair out or punched holes in the walls, since.😂.And, it is hard to see anyway, where we joined the ends.💁‍♀️ More quilts finished, and my sanity is still intact.😊

@wendywilson1736 4 ай бұрын

It's definitely easier, and more fun. Really, you can't tell the difference from sewing the ends together inside out,🫣 and it's hard to see unless you really look for it.

@dorothyawo9086 4 ай бұрын

Thank you for that. I have never enjoyed doing my own binding. I've struggled through it & it's frustrating. I've paid someone one else to put the binding on for me. It's like torture. So I'll give your idea a try. It looks like it is worth the effort to try it.
