I’m so happy you demonstrated your method for making bias binding! So much easier than the continuous method for those of us challenged with matching those diagonals! Thank you so much!

[@JenniferGreene321]

This was a great tutorial. Love seeing and hearing the instructions. Thanks Sherri.

[@sweerdeatpat]

Thanks for your video. For the first time, you've made it clear to me about how to sew the two triangles together when making bias binding.

[@shulamussnug7120]

Excellent demo. Thanks

[@beckyg5489]

I like your method of doing bias binding the best. Some are just confusing and I would have to rewatch the method every time. This one is simple and easy to understand. Thanks!

[@dianemotley]

great to use for bias trim on clothing items, too

[@wdicranian]

Great tutorial with clear instructions. Thank you

[@lovelyday2805]

This helps me so much, thank you Sherri!

[@jackielohrey4167]

Ok so I have watched this video frame by frame at least four times. I got this thought in my head that I want to bind a table topper I made with fabrics from my SY scrap bundle. Problem is I scalloped the edges and I am working with smaller pieces so it has to be bias binding. I am happy to say I got it! The binding is too cute! Now on to figuring out how to bind a scalloped edge.

[@susankeuhlen5484]

This is a great tutorial. I like it so much that I've saved it to use again and again. Thank you!

[@lindamahoney9450]

Thank you. Very clear directions and demonstration. I just watched your video for making a potholder and loved it! Thank you!

[@michellebohn2434]

Iam glad to see the way to make bias bonding. Good instructions, Sherry.

[@marybradley168]

[@sybiljordan209]

I am a new quilter and want to make pot holders for Christmas! This is such a neat skill! Thank you and keep on teaching!!!

[@susanannmilikas6748]

You make it look so easy! Thank you

[@patandrews3288]

What a smooth informative tutorial on bias binding. I’m going to make potholders for my Sunday project and this binding will finish them off so nicely. I also love to hand sew all my binding on quilts, bags, etc.

[@roxannepaul3234]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@C12133]

Thank you, Sherri!! I hadn’t watch this video yet! I have been working on a June Taylor casserole cover that requires a bias binding. I never knew all of the steps! I’m so happy I watched this!😍

[@terrymichaud66]

Thank you, I enjoy your videos and learn lots!

[@nanmckee54]

I was always a little intimidated by bias binding but you made this very clear in the video. Thank you! Looking forward to your potholder tutorial!

[@susanbenedict6988]

I've never understood this! Thank you so much for this video!!

[@sallyfester7079]

Great instructions! Thank you

[@denjackson]

I’m new to quilting and this looks sooooo much easier then joining all the pieces....thank you

[@marshaberlin2388]

Thank you! Love your tutorials!

[@monataylor2600]

Oh! Grab that piece of bias too narrow for binding. Goes great for bias appliqué. Really enjoyed this video!!!! 🦋💕

[@MariaGonzalez-mb5tv]

Thank you for explaining. Going to give it another try.

[@gingerlawson9612]

Thank You for your tutorial on bias binding. I will mark it for later, have always call the Quilt shop that I trade with and my favorite person always gives my a phone tutorial about how to cut. Do not use much of bias binding and can not remember how to cut it all the time. I like your way that is a simple way of doing it I thing. I think once I can do it I will remember how your way. Thank You and Stay Safe till the next time.

[@deborahyilek4216]

Oh, here it is! Excellent 😃

[@relliem5378]

So helpful! Thankyou 🌟

[@SocorroAlaniz]

I just found you through Pinterest! I am so happy to be here and go through your library of videos. I love the detail and projects on this channel.

[@lisegagne3716]

Learned something new! Thank you 😊

[@sandrahallmark500]

Love it! Thank you for sharing!😊

[@thresiaross36]

I was so pleased to find your video! My friend is a hair stylist and due to the virus supplies are hard to come by. She needed an apron to use when applying hair color. I could have used this video to help with the binding. I used a plastic table cloth for an apron and put binding around the edges. I subscribed to your channel because I think I will learn a lot of new things. Thank you.

[@jillsuebrengle6789]

Great tutorial. Thank you so much

[@janeno220]

Thank you, Jane

[@christycleary216]

Perfect tutorial...

[@bridgetwhite5547]

Brilliant thanks very useful

[@user-22-]

So much extra work.. on the rare occasion I need it, I just buy it. It’s cheap & ready to go. VERY nice explanation though! 💜

[@lizh2752]

Great video, thanks!

[@rosemariegreenland106]

Helpful! Thank you!

[@carolmorgan3051]

Very helpful 🙃

[@taniswilliams6167]

Thank you for your tutorial on bias binding. I am making your “Flowers for Emma” quilt and was debating on doing the scalloped edge or the straight edge. I would love if you could do a tutorial on how to attach the scallop binding.

[@sherrimcconnell4094]

Great idea! Thank you!

[@msklvr5078]

I found this video to be very helpful as I have just dipped my toe into the making and applying of bias binding to curves. I made my first pot holder and things went well until I sewed the binding to the pot holder. When I went around the curves I had lots of pleats and puckers. I was wondering if you could take this video a few steps further and show us how to sew the binding onto the pot holder. Also, how do you finish the two ends of the binding when you join the tails???? Thanks so much for all of your helpful videos!!

[@celrob101]

ingenious :)

[@marthahershey5552]

Great step by step video. Thank you. Question: when you 'quilted' the potholder, did you stitch in the ditch or a bit into each square? Love the fabric!

[@terijean7757]

So is it an 18 in square? Great tutorial!

[@debblws1961]

Love your channel. This is a very helpful hint on bias binding especially right now when stores keep running out of it with everyone making masks. Thank you. One question... where did you get your rotary cutter?

[@sherrimcconnell4094]

Fat Quarter Shop...but I've had it for a little while...

[@MsDjvinson]

How do you cut and you didn’t move your hand and your ruler did not move?

[@ShirleyDeeDesigns]

Did you design that pretty fabric?

[@PoonamGupta-eq1dp]

What is that blue sheet you have underneath? It's not getting cut with the fabric cutter. And what are the dimensions of that?

[@elainemack1653]

What kind of sewing mat do you have? The one you use on your videos.

[@jeannesnodgrass8073]

How long was the finished strip of bias from the 18’’ square?💕

[@chriss9781]

Do you sew the binding on with 1/4 inch seam?

[@isabellugonessuarez4335]

😍👏👏👏

[@JesusisKing222]

After you finished ironing your work in half, how did you attach it to your potholder?

[@JesusisKing222]

Ha! You answered my questions in previous videos! Thank you!

[@dabbylynn]

Is your bias once cut suppose to be stretchy?

[@billievance1189]

How big are your squares

[@l.m.o.8948]

There is an easier way to cut bias strips. Check out “ sew very easy”.

[@vidaholmes]

You need to watch the video where you cut one continuous strip. This is too much sewing. When you could have avoided extra work.

[@nancysmith5259]

Excellent tutorial, thank you!

[@pamelacasey1699]

Great tutorial, thank you!
