How to Trim & Bind Your Quilt! Sew Along with Hannah Part 5

[@toniremy6426]

When I saw your patterns using only 1 1/4” binding I thought “no way!” After watching this tutorial, you have taken away any anxiety I had doing this method. Can’t wait to try it out! As a beginner quilter I am enjoying all of your wonderfully detailed and simply explained tutorials. Thank you!

[@jacquelinehenseleit6007]

Would love to watch Hannah embark on a third quilt

[@estherenright5893]

Me too! I was just thinking that!

[@GlendaNorris-qx3in]

Gorgeous, she is a lucky girl to have Fran and Donna as mentors.

BEST EVER INSTRUCTION ON A CORNER EVER!!!!!

Glad it was helpful!!

[@kathykaplan497]

Totally agree!

[@CEQuine340]

I loved the teacher/student method on this tutorial . Nice and slow, lots of questions and pointers throughout. Thank you!

[@FabricCafe]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@amysminis]

Another great video, Fabric Cafe!💕

[@margaretmiller7595]

This is such a wonderful tutorial! As I watched, I realized that I was smiling and nodding my head right along with you. ... Awesome student and great teacher!

[@marionbartley214]

I'm rewatching this video, I have a suggestion I think watching Hannah make her quilts. Is great. Watching each process is a big learning curve for me. But I would love to see Hannah make new quilt patterns. Step by step, great job Hannah on this quilt. Your sister's going to love it. ❤️

[@susanblack5936]

I’d love to see a full machine binding tutorial ❤

[@BarbaraLeMere]

Great job Hannah and Fran. Nice quilt! 🎉

[@damecupcake]

Hannah, thank you! Thank you for your recommendation for thimbles. Small fingers unite!

[@lrobbe6079]

Beautiful job Hannah!! Love your finished quilt!! Can't wait to see your next quilt. Thank you for sharing. I have quilted for forty years and enjoy each one that I have done. I have eight beautiful grandchildren and they all have quilts!! I also hand stitch my binding!! Love that look!! I enjoy the piece and quiet looking out my window and watching our horses as I stitch. Thank you for all the great tips. Happy Sewing♥️

[@dianaduncan4800]

Beautiful quilt, Hannah! I love those silicone thimbles I bought from your site. No more yelling “OW!” while ironing not only bindings, but also hems and all other close work. 😂

[@susanharrell8902]

So glad we have a young quilter joining this great group!!!

[@debbymccauley4774]

So proud of Hannah👏

[@juliatepe5760]

Hannah I don't think I've could have done such a fine job while being filmed, and I've being quilting a few years. I lower my ironing board and place it behind machine to hold the weight of the quilt.

[@dianaduncan4800]

@@juliatepe5760 that’s a great tip, thank you!

[@marionbartley214]

Great job Hannah on trimming and binding your quilt. It looks so nice. Your sister will love it !!!! 😁

[@sandydali699]

great job Hannah. I picked the same kit for a friend when you mentioned that your sister loves flowers. I love the back too. I can't get the hang of the 1 1/4” binding so I did the standard 2.5” using extra from the backing. Nice to know it's not just my cat that sits in my lap while binding. If I see her coming, I make sure I arrange enough so I can continue without having to disturb her. God forbid 😊 Great video series. Thanks to both of you.

[@dianepiatt5503]

Learning. Use the thread in the direction it comes off the spool (who knew?). Love the easy way to do corners. I have not yet finished a quilt, but you are so encouraging. Thanks for all the tips! Awesome! ❤️

[@carollantz5647]

Those are some nice tips on trimming the quilt after the longarm.

[@conniekirby851]

I love your quilt, Hannah! It’s beautiful! I have learned so much from Fabric Cafe. I’ve purchased several kits but I’m still working on my first practice one. I am doing all of it by machine because of hand numbness. I have to use some serious self talk on each step. Taking my time and enjoying it. Y’all are terrific teachers!

[@dianaduncan4800]

I admire you for tackling quilt making while having a difficulty like hand numbness. Good for you, and keep going! You’ve got this! ❤

Beautiful quilt Hannah! Great job breaking down all the steps in the videos. It was good to hear from your longarm quilter as well. Thanks also to Fran for the step by step instruction on the economy binding.

[@lindaloostrom7025]

I love happy endings❣️❣️

[@nancyguerrero6662]

Do you wash the quilt before giving away?

[@kathyclayton4318]

Great job Hannah! The quilt turned out beautiful! WOW! What a great finish!

[@lindaloostrom7025]

Wonderful job Hannah!! What a gift of love for you to give❣️❣️

[@gladysrivera3579]

I chose the same fabric for my granddaughter because she loves flowers and the color green. I think I will use the soho pattern because I already did a stepping stone quilt for my grandson. I have 7 grandchildren and I’m making a quilt for each other them. Thank you for the videos, they are very informative especially for A beginner quilter like me.

[@FabricCafe]

It sounds like it will be a wonderful choice, Gladys! Your grandkids are lucky to have you!

[@debdunham1493]

I loved this series. You both are so sweet. Hannah is a great student and Fran you are such a sweet and excellent teacher. I FINALLY learned a basting technique to use that makes sense and looks great with no visible stitching. Thank you both!

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Hello! I'm popping in here to send you a cheery little note. I very much love the content on your channel and I hope you are going to have a joyful week ahead! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and talent.

Thank you Brenda, hope you are feeling better this week!

Very cool watching you pick up quiltmaking

[@deboraflynn6825]

I love the colors of your quilt 😊

[@Yodi430]

This was a great series and so much fun to watch! Hannah and Fran make a great team! Congratulations Hannah on making your first quilt! I love your fabric choices! Great job team!

[@michelleherman5298]

Great job ladies! Glad you did your binding because I do it totally different. I’m going to try this one in my next quilt. I watch a movie while binding.

[@jacquelineblack5801]

Thank you Ladies! After sewing many years one way, happy to learn the Fabric Cafe way!

[@mimimitchell1119]

Great series on sewing a quilt from start to finish. I like the fabric choice for this quilt. I've been quilting for 8 years, self taught. I learned some great tips on sewing the binding. I watch documentaries when I sew the binding. I have one person I make quilts for that likes to reverse the quilt. Thank you.

[@barbraelizabeth395]

Great tutorial, Fran. Beautiful quilt, Hannah. You've done a most magnificent piece of work. Thank you, both.

[@roxanneroehrig324]

Awesome job Hannah!!! I love each of your fabric choices, and YES!!! that back is like a whole diiferent quilt, yet still goes so well with your pieced top. I'm certain your recipient will totally 💗💓💞💕💖 it!!! 🥰

[@Tlea064]

Sooo helpful, thank you!!!!

[@debbiepurser8101]

This is so so helpful ! Hopefully we’ll keep quilting alive having Hannah doing such a good job and having fun wit it Great show !

[@gisellejones1139]

This was a good series...learned some new things...do it again some time

[@dianne57m.shifthappens73]

I enjoyed this video and even learned a thing or two. Did she put a label on the quilt anywhere?

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

It’s like you read my mind. I’ve sewn several bindings now but wanted to look at some videos for better techniques and improvement!

[@poppies1215]

Great job ladies! I am a licker too that rolls her knots into place. One question on the type of stitching you use. Is that a running stitch that goes in and doubles back before moving forward again? I am new to hand sewing so am a novice still with types of stitches to use and when they apply. Fran, I think hiding the stitch when it nears its end by weaving underneath the binding is so cool. Thanks for the tip and your patience with teaching! Hannah, your sister will be in awe of your heartfelt efforts and talent. Keep it up!

[@susanbradley3174]

Thank you for the tip on how to deal with the corners. Mine have been a mess so far.

Awesome job Hannah

[@jeannielettenmaier5641]

Thanks so much for doing this sew along. I have enjoyed it very much .💞🙏

[@lainalindsey1653]

I use weights to hold the ruler down to help make the cuts.

[@dianeragan4286]

Really good, informative video. Thanks.

[@lainalindsey1653]

I used an orange variegated thread on top and a dark green on the back.( I used a dark green for backing.). The long armer did a dragonfly pattern for the quilting.

[@FabricCafe]

That sounds awesome! Way to go Laina!

[@kathykaplan497]

That's a beautiful quilt!

[@susieshupak5188]

Quilt is beautiful! Do you have a tutorial on quilt labels? How do y’all do your quilt labels?

[@linetteevans8337]

I have made a dozen quilts or so. I have used the backing as binding. Accidentally cut binding for the latest,so giving it a whirl. I agree the clips worked better for me. And of course my cat has to help! Does anyone find that the hand stitching aggravates carpal tunnel?

[@janetschwartz655]

This series was so much fun and really informative. There is only one thing that I think Fran and Hannah forgot; after all that hard work, where is the label? :0

[@augustslady]

Great tips! When I hand bind, I don’t use a single thread, I double mine. Is that ok?

[@FabricCafe]

Hey Augustslady! Sorry for the delay. Yes! You may use double thread to sew binding. It is not necessary, but you will have a very strong binding this way. Good luck! - Fran

[@ruthmcewuen2086]

Great job ❤️

[@helenaMe325]

Great video again! The only thing was you didn't show the final stitching of the joining of the ends. So not 100% sure how you do that. I am sure I could figure it out but it would be interesting to know what you do, please 😊😊

[@FabricCafe]

Hi Helena! I prefer joining ends by placing the fabric right side together and sewing a 1/4" seam along the two raw ends. It's a short seam and they go pretty fast. My preference is to press my seams open to distribute the weight. - Fran

[@carolgarrett6354]

Done a good job

[@juliatepe5760]

Thread licker, that's me, lol!

[@ksharpe8137]

I know this is an older video but where do I find the binding needles?

[@FabricCafe]

Hello! You can find them here - www.fabriccafe.com/Binding-Needles-p/022020.htm

[@bmb5862]

Great job on the quilt. Now just a correction on grammar, "Hannah and me" not "Hannah and I" at the beginning.

[@jenniferrobinson6338]

One of my dogs likes to sleep UNDER the quilt I’m binding!

[@FabricCafe]

Haha! How fun! It's like a little tent!

[@Celtic63lady]

What about label?

[@FabricCafe]

You can definitely put a label on it! We don't label many of our quilts here at Fabric Café, but we know its a very popular thing to do. 😊

[@jeanfast2988]

I use a double thread to sew a binding! Seems like you use a single.... Why?

[@FabricCafe]

Hi Jean! We find that a single thread is sufficient for securing the binding to the quilt. However, I think using double thread is a great idea! Super strong!

[@barbgardner5549]
