[@pamelabeyer6902]

I've tried so many quilting videos and this is the first time I've seen someone explain it so succinctly and to the point. It was easy to understand and I didn't get bored listening to someone talk on and on and explain the obvious. And I admire so much how diligent she was in keeping good habits, even when it took more time. Thank you so much for posting this.

[@anitagoodesign]

Thank you so much, Pamela! We're SEW happy you liked it! :)

[@annathackeray4172]

That was so cute when you corrected yourself and said "right sides together, Jessica." I do that to myself all the time! And this tutorial was WONDERFUL! Thank you!

[@leighh5435]

I have never seen binding done that way; always fold binding. This looks more efficient. I'll give it a try.

[@robsadler5605]

2:42 "Right sides together Jessica" Thanks for the smile! I do the same thing :)

[@luzsolanotrashnest3897]

came here just to see if anyone else noticed this :) great video!

[@northcoastmom8781]

Thank you! This really helped me.

[@SamiKhan-ev1rl]

Aww I see now I'm going go do this now as I'm new to patchwork and just bought a new sewing machine and want to learn something new.

[@suematysik690]

Very helpful video!!!! I've never made a quilt before & had no clue what to do. this video made it possible!!!! Thanx so much!!!

[@carlawhiteley559]

I have never quilted before. I live in a lockdown area in Australia and decided to use some scraps to make a small baby quilt. Thank you for your generosity with sharing your wealth of knowledge. I followed your instructions and found them so helpful.

[@meddlesome9252]

Just wanted to thank you. I just finished my first quilt and used your tutorials. The binding was the one part I had never seen or done. Your guide was awesome. It worked!! I handed my daughter her new quilt last night and she loves it

[@Beth_Seren]

Your video is easier to understand than the videos I have paid to watch. Thank you.

I'm a beginning quilter and this 3 part tutorial has been instrumental in my understanding of the process! Thank you!

[@gayekelly7551]

You have a gas x cc’d

[@carlawhiteley559]

It made a Covid project so easy

[@sw4bben]

Thanks a LOT for the video... I searched a good while til I found someone who explains the last step folding over the binding on the back... Really useful and great tutorial!

[@LQ327]

Thanks so much for this video, I know it is 7 years later but I just found it!!! Your great!

[@annemcgill5461]

Easy to follow instructions, thank you. Finishing off my first quilt today

[@terrymoser47]

I love the way you demonstrated your binding, I've watched other videos of mitred corners, but never understood them, but you make it look easy, thank you!

[@alwaysconfused1000]

Wow! I have been watching binding videos and have found yours to be the easiest. I will be using this method on my very first quilt. ( Can you imagine my FIRST at age 64)!

[@love2sew348]

I watched many KZbin videos about binding and found yours to be the most helpful. I'm an advanced sewer, but never made a quilt. Thank you

[@imu4ia]

Thank you so much for making this tutorial. I had to make a quilt of pieces of fabric with good wishes, prayers, song lyrics and sage advice written on them from good friends and family for the birth of my daughters baby. I had no clue how to put it together. Thank you!!!!

[@rhondagriffin9033]

Awesome help. I'm trying to learn how to quilt with my Anita Goodesign quilting designs.

[@darcyannnewton-staley3987]

Thank you. Very well explained. I'll be using the instruction very soon. So excited.

[@savannahf7275]

Thank you so much for your expertise! I am finishing my first quilt, and your videos helped me do an even better job than I imagined :)

[@robertawestbrooks9531]

Thank you, I am getting ready to finish my baby quilt. Experience is a must:)

[@MrMvfgogo]

Thanks for sharing, I finally understand how the final steps are done ...whew ....Michael from Florida

[@MiVidaJugosaMVJ]

Very pretty. Thank you for your patience and showing us your secrets ❤

[@jillslater2482]

You are a great instructor. I made my first proper binding on a quilt thanks to you. Took forever but I did it. Thank you.

[@pamelawilliams7813]

Thank you so much! I recently started sewing again after 20 years. I refer to this clip every time I sew a binding. It's the easiest method I have found with easy to understand instructions.

[@ArtemisPen]

I 100% agree with Terry Dee (below). My goodness. I was amazed at how much easier it is to understand binding after watching your video. I have seen techniques for the mitred corners where I practically had to turn my head upside down to try to understand what they were doing! You have inspired me to finish my quilt!! Thank you so much. Nancy Baker :p

[@bookldy7741]

I love anita good designs. They always sew out so nicely and they are beautiful.

[@ClosetHeadCase]

Those finished corners just rocked my world.

[@renejclaybrook9898]

Thank you for producing such an easy to follow quilt tutorial. Love it!

[@nancymalon8574]

Just another note. Your tutorial really helped me with the mitered corners and the binding. I tried that thread and it broke a needle so ended up using my normal thread. I guess there is a secret to using that thread that I haven't figured out yet. Thanks again for all your help!

[@unawatson1703]

Brilliant I’ve learned so much as I’m new to sewing though I’d have a go at quilting I’ve followed you every step of the way although my quilt isn’t as good as your I’m going to try another one Thank you

[@kaycreates]

Thank you for the videos, they are SO helpful! Do you have any videos about adding sleeves or tabs to quilts for hanging them? Thanks!

[@anitagoodesign]

Hi Kate, I don't think we have any videos specifically covering that, but you can email our technical support guru, Martha, for suggestions! Her email is [e-mail]

[@foreverwestlife1]

Thank you for very clear explanations. I am wondering why you use 1/2 inch seem allowance when it is usually 1/4 inch. I am new

[@aostrosky]

How many battings do i want for a regular all season blanket?

[@krystalsevey1300]

I used your tutorial for my first quilt and it came out really nice, however I wanted a thicker binding, so I tried doing the conversion on my own, and it worked out well enough its just that I didn't do something quite right to get the Mitered Corners, they ended up being rounded, which happened to work out nicely, however I am making a quilt for my new nephew and I would like not to make the same mistake again, and I cant seem to find how to do a 2in binding anywhere..

[@yvonnemccrindle9989]

Hi .awesome job ..thank you .....What is the machine you are using ..ty again ..

[@nancymalon8574]

Thank you for the tutorial. I am making my first quilt and needed some help on this process. What clear thread do you recommend.

[@janettan1640]

Nice quilt design especially the Christmas tree design. How to download the quilt design. Thanks

[@bookldy7741]

I would have liked to see what it looked like on the back.

[@angelabalukas3667]

me too, great miter corner tutorial. For me, I prefer to finish the binding on the front. I want to make sure My stitches are hitting the binding edge on the face side. But still a great tutorial for the miter corners. I always go crazy with those.

[@donnasands107]

What kind of Brother Machine are you using?

[@SamiKhan-ev1rl]

How do you turn the thing inside out ? I can't do it.

[@anitagoodesign]

Hi Sami! Feel free to contact Anita Goodesign Tech Support, and they'd be happy to give you some advice :)

[@coralbishop8168]

Where did you get your rotary cutter?

[@TheKinetoscope]

What kind of sewing machine is that?

[@Goody5059]

+Sassy Cat It is a Brother. I have a Dreamweaver and love it.

[@SamiKhan-ev1rl]

Cnt do binding I'm struggling with it.

[@anitagoodesign]

Feel free to give us a call and our tech support can give you some advice! :)
