Easy No Binding Method for Quilts: Pillowcase Technique

[@Kirstin7258]

Brilliant tutorial! This lady really knows what she's talking about. Thank you so much for this tutorial :-)

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You are so welcome!

[@gmtegirl]

I cannot tell you how many times I have referenced this video! I make baby quilts of church and I like to pillow case them because it's faster. Also, because I use flannel on the back of the baby quilts (for softness), with this method, I can run the flannel all the way to the edges. Great video.

@@gmtegirl I'm grateful you commented this because I was considering doing this for a baby quilt even though she says it's recommended for smaller projects. This is my first time quilting.... When you have used this method on baby quilts, did you do sewing machine quilting across the whole thing? Or did you do the tacking method?

Loved your video. Your voice is so calming!! I can listen to it all day!😀

[@debjacobson9800]

Love the 45 degree angle tip Kim. Thank you for another great video.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You are so welcome!

[@ellenlanda1818]

Kim, thank you for the three different binding methods!

[@123gp1833]

Thank you so much for this video. your instructions are simple and easy to understand, can't wait to get started on some wall hangings.

[@doreensherk287]

Thank you for the tips on the corners and closing

[@suebean3873]

Thank you, very well explained!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Glad it was helpful!

I also just purchased a Janome 9450. It's my second Janome, my first being the 6600. Big fan of these machines. They are often referred to as workhorses. I love both of them. Thanks for this easy project. Nicely done. Love the quilters alphabet panel too.

[@marycasey6247]

👏 Great directions I finished my sisters Christmas panel!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Wonderful!

thank you this was helpful

[@lindahall2197]

Thank you sooooo much ❤

[@SarahEJolley]

This an excellent tutorial! Thank you.🙏🏻

[@laurahontz5532]

Very helpful!😊

[@corvettew.s.4360]

I wish you would have shown the quilting part and if you topstitch around and where to start quilting the straight lines.

[@amendez6358]

Kim, I can't believe I never thought to do this before 🤦‍♀️🙃

[@SuperMsCarol]

Just bought a Janome 9450. Love it and really enjoy your videos.

[@earnestbailey6573]

Amazing tutorial! So excited to do this on my first few 1st projects!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Good luck!

[@flooklh]

Thanks for a very interesting and informative video. I'm definitely going to try it with my next quilt. I really love using my Janome machines, and the walking foot is a dream to work with when sewing multiple layers.

[@amendez6358]

I'd think you'd want to maybe topstitch all around to close the opening and then stitch in the ditch🤷‍♀️. Great tutorial and very helpful.

[@jamigaither]

That sounds WAY easier than hand stitching... may try it too.

[@cindymcfarland4686]

If I'm in a hurry (because I do not like to hand sew binding, even though I think it looks much nicer) I will use this method for table runners as well as wall hangings.

[@helenweatherby1694]

Thank you.

[@wandaelizabeth8645]

Awesome advice... thank you!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You are so welcome!

[@susanramsay4189]

I was so glad to hear you had done this wrong before. I am "frogging right now on a lap size quilt. UGH!

[@3waggytails]

Brilliant video thank you. What sort of batting should I get for a wall hanging to make it stiffer please. Thank you

[@Chatterboxquilts]

I'm not sure about "stiffer" batting, but you could try fusible fleece that is a bit stiffer than any type of regular batting.

[@3waggytails]

@@Chatterboxquilts ahhh ok thank you I will try that.

[@marykraus7066]

would you use this on a queen size quilt?

[@Chatterboxquilts]

No, I wouldn't recommend doing that. It works best for smaller sized projects, such as wall hangings or table runners

[@InTheGardenandTheBlessings]

@Chatterbox Quilts *Have you tried this method on a size for maybe a baby or lap size and be able to nicely quilt it still, after pinning it?*

[@Chatterboxquilts]

I don't use this method on bigger projects but mostly on wall hangings and table runners. I think that you might get some puckers or have problems if you used it on a larger quilt although a baby quilt would probably be doable.

[@cindifairchild1846]

I would like to do this method on a baby quilt but wondering how close to the edges you could quilt before getting a bubble effect.

[@JeanMiller-p2m]

If you can't backstitch with a Walking Foot, how would you secure squares stitched around a design throughout the quilt?

[@Chatterboxquilts]

This is similar to how you would secure stitches with a vintage sewing machine - you can either leave long threads, pull up a long bobbin thread and then bury the thread tails or you could turn the project 180 degrees and then stitch over the previous stitches.

[@gaylefadden-keffer2349]

I AM TRYING TO FINISH A LARGE QUILT USING THIS METHOD...NOT SO EASY ON A QUEEN SIZE QUILT!! ANY SUGGESTIONS???

[@Chatterboxquilts]

I wouldn't recommend using this technique on a large quilt. I usually use it for wall hangings, table runners, etc. It's difficult, as you've found, on a large project, and also, having a binding on a queen-size quilt is better for wear at the edges.

[@susanramsay4189]

I have done a large quilt this way. Roll up the quilt from the corners opposite the opening. Make it tight as possible. When you get to about the middle the two rolls will meet. Try to makeone big roll out of this. Your opening should be larger than just 6", too. It Canbe done!

Wow I thought this lady was Joyce Mayers the preacher

[@Chatterboxquilts]

No but I do "preach" to quilters 😉
