Flange Binding

[@barbraelizabeth395]

Donna. Sometimes there are not words that express why we are grateful. Thank you! Absolutely a work of art.

[@sherrijenkins3918]

I just found this video.....I have to try this......amazing!! Thank YOU!!!!!

[@mmiddleton8807]

Love that flange binding! It really makes your beautiful quilt pop even more. You are the best. From OZ

[@AnitaSouthall]

Hello from Geraldton Western Australia

[@maryhodge2625]

Just re-watching today to remind myself how to make the flange blinding. That's a wonderful tutorial!

[@cathyphegley7414]

I so prefer this type of binding! Thank you!

[@sonjadezeeuw2255]

I want to do a flange on all My quilts. Thank you so much for this.

[@kikasnook2472]

I love your work, it's so neat! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@susannipp9822]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm learning a lot from you.

[@kathleenmillet4182]

I like this way cause it let's you turn over to the front ,and you do have more room to put that stich in the ditch alot more easier with the small amount of red color showing,it looks great. Thanks.

[@kathynodolf8393]

I really love your teaching. You are very through and you are so good of what you do. Totally talented, kind, thoughtful, and beautiful. Thank you.

[@kellychojnacki2117]

Love how you teach , you cover every question that comes to mind. This tutorial gives me confidence:) Thank you!

[@m53goldsmith]

This method of binding is magic -- such precise work, but such a great finish -- thanks for showing us!

[@bethwood9377]

This might be five years old, but today is perfect for it to pop up on my feed as I finish up a baby and a toddler quilt. ... I love your tutorials!

[@blanchestine769]

I really enjoy watching you show how you cut, sew and design the projects. You have a great gift to be able to show others how to do every step. Thank you so very much Blanche

[@Ronibearable]

Love the quilt! You do such great work, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos. And I really like that the openings of each video are different, different intro, different music it makes it fun.

[@trishbrooks5475]

Love your tutorials! You are an excellent teacher! You explain everything so well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@joannmccraw7235]

I've never seen a flange binding demonstrated or 'in-the-making', until this video ... learned allot. Thank-you so much. I will be giving this one a try ... maybe on some place-mats first ... haha ... Got to go a little at a time. I am fairly new to quilting. Purchased quite a bit of fabric from yall several months ago, then my machine went down before it came in (the same week) ... to much going on at the time ... but I finally purchased a new machine and will be getting back into sewing/quilting again very soon. Watching all of the Jordan Videos and learning daily. Keep it up ... doing a great job! Thank-you for sharing your time and talent freely. God bless you and yours.

[@karlabergwalker3332]

Wow! Magnificent quilt!! Donna, I have learned so much from watching your videos and I only discovered you about 3 weeks ago! I've started the finger pressing and you are so right about it making the later pressing so much easier and accurate. Also, your binding videos, including this one with the flange, are all excellent! I am definitely one for machine sewn binding and you have it down to an art!! Thanks so much!! Wish you were closer to Maryland!!

[@eileenjones8552]

Great job on the corners !!!We are so bless to have someone like you who will share your talents with us! Thanks a million!Eileen Jones

[@MsNicoleLeo]

Yes, we are so blessed to have her!

[@lindadavis8082]

Just reviewed this tutorial. Very helpful and the camera work is exceptional!!

[@kimellefson8348]

I love this quilt. I also want you to know I love all your tutorials and your patterns. I plan to make this quilt for my Cousins Wife she was in the Army and was in Iraq. It will be my quilt of Valor for her. Thanks again.. Kim

[@annphilbeck5174]

Hope you did just that. Im a longarmer for QOV!

[@marilynczapnik3982]

I also do Quilts of Valor and will do this one soon...love it!! You do a super job as teacher, Donna!! 💞

[@rubbysajjad9575]

Fantastic you do a super job as teache Doona

[@sandratorres9635]

Oh my goodness, thank you for this excellent tutorial. I create many red, white and blue quilts for our wounded veterans. I love the Stonehenge fabrics and I feel empowered to try a flange binding. Thank you so much!

[@shawnaleewhitney6630]

Coming back to this tutorial so I can add a flange binding on a fall-themed mug rug. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@dijones2441]

Fantastic Donna, and another beautiful quilt ....I'm going to do the flange on the quilt I'm going now. I always enjoy watching your tutorials and the funny thing is a think of you as I copy your techniques and tips 😂

[@joangarrett5364]

Me too!

[@juliannaburgess9177]

Absolutely lovely! Perfect corners! I'm SO going to study this...mine are a hit and miss at times. Thank you for your time.

[@vanessaodomsellsmansions]

I iron my binding before I turn it over so it's not so hard on my fingers when sewing it down.

[@carolynlewis1264]

Well Donna , here I am again you're my #1 on explaining and showing how to do a flanged binding. This time I'm back getting a refresher for hubby's queen size quilt. Thank you so much for your presice instructions and videos.

[@eepsers1]

LOVE how you staggered the joining seams, and especially how you seamed the main and flange fabric separately and then re-joined them.

[@helenreidt3315]

Another good tutorial, thank you. In New Zealand that's called a 'floating border' ☺

[@kquitberg4297]

Such a simple concept and yet makes a huge statement. I’ll try it on a doll quilt first tho.

[@elaineperez8781]

Really clear instructions for a beautiful finish! Thank you.

[@marilynnandbobseifert3986]

I have enjoyed watching and learning during this time of covid. Thank you do much from Victoria BC

[@dianelockman9007]

Thank you SO much! I followed along for my first flanged binding and now my finished quilt looks very professional.

[@elaineadair]

I just finished my little quilt, and the flange/binding turned out wonderfully! So neat and crisp - thank you so much (again!).

[@andreaprice6717]

WOW! This was eye popping to watch!! The colors, the technique, the quilt and THAT FLANGE are..... Well, beyond words. My hands and forearms were aching watching you muscle this around to create this beautiful piece of art. I just started quilting this year and have made several quilts using your videos + patterns. They've gone very well. I don't think I'm up for flange binding yet, but when I am, I know where to come. This quilt is STUNNING! Thank you Donna and team for all you do for us. Sending love, hugs and blessings from Seattle. XOXO

[@michelecariveau3973]

Do you have a kit in these fabrics? This would be perfect for my nephew in the Navy!!

[@rosiemontano318]

I Love everything you do I like always this pattern too it’s Beautiful thank you for showing us how to do the it ends on the Quilt’s thank you Donna

[@nataliarodriguez6766]

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I struggled with mitered edges on the bindings of my quilts. Just tried a small square using your technique and all corners mitered nicely.

[@lupehawk5930]

Donna, your instructions are so precise and easy to understand that you have inspired me to step “out of the quilting box” and try something new! Thank you for the enthusiasm you bring to every project!

[@faejones2582]

Your tutorials are so good and have really helped boost my skills. I've shared this one with countless friends. Looks so sharp and is deceptively easy. Thanks, Donna!

[@elaineadair]

Thank you so much for another clear demonstration of sewing/quilting techniques. I LOVE a narrow binding such as this demo, and also wanted to use the flange effect with the binding.

[@daniellegrazianistone4632]

Beautiful job! Amazing! I will still use the mitered technique when joining the ends. Can't wait to use this on all my favorite quilts!

[@silentpeace1588]

You are brilliant. This was so helpful. Thank you.

[@annabucciarelli3720]

Incredible teacher! I have learned so much from Donna, after my years of quilting I didn't thin I could learn much more but I was so wrong. I ordered the kit for this step ladder quilt a while ago but haven't gotten around to putting it together yet; seeing this wonderful video inspires me to get moving on it very soon. Of all the quilting tutorials I have watched by so many others, no one does it better than Donna. Thank you so much.

[@PrepperDino]

I really like that, looks sharp! What a good teacher you are, thank you... Dino

[@elainewilczynski6948]

I've really enjoyed watching so many of your tutorials!! The placemats and napkins was right up my alley!! I love the smaller type projects, because I don't have alot of space. Thanks for great teaching!!

[@cazfromoz1]

Donna, I Love your techniques. This one gets my #1 vote for flange binding. It looks great and not difficult to do. You ARE the best teacher and fabric shop owner. You show us how to do everything with quilts (SEW) perfectly. :)

[@Olivers-G0mmer]

Good idea to unsew the two strips and stagger the joints! Thank you! 💜💛💚💙💜💛💚💙

[@roseannecarratkinson4271]

I also love how you put your binding on the back, not the front first. That's how I do it. It makes the quilt look so much better when you do it that way. I'm not one for hand stitching the binding.

[@sylviaparnell6736]

I’m going to try this..... Quilting for a long time, but you have given me the courage to try😉

[@barbaradelarwelle7280]

Donna you are just so good at bindings!!! I really enjoy watching you!!

[@kelsp5568]

Binge watching all your video. You make it look so easy. Thank you for the tutorials, very helpful.

[@joannfoley2285]

Quick question. So when you sewed on the binding to the top of the quilt, you used red thread on top and blue in your bobbin? And you only sewed around the binding once, right? I love your videos.

[@capedoryus]

Finally got the miter lay out. Thank you for being so clear in your description.

[@janicelawson5341]

Thank you for a great tutorial. As a seamstress. first and a beginning quilter, I find when I get my binding sewn on , either self binding or using the backing fabric to come around.....I press my binding in place and then I add a strip of wonder under and press well holding that binding right where I want it. So much easier to go to the machine and not have to work so hard holding and making my arms tired. Really takes no time at all to 'wonder' it in place as you press. At this point I only have to SEW not pull and hold. THANK you again!!!

[@mrs7872]

Watched several of your videos by now, and it amazes me that what took you probably years and years to learn, you are just generously sharing with anyone who wants to learn. That's such a sweet thing. Thank you for this tutorial. Be well.

[@ronnawilson]

June 2020 still loving your video. Bristol Tennessee R2

[@vidhyahemmady948]

This tutorial is surely going to help me put the binding on the quilt.

[@theresawalker5193]

I just finished a baby quilt for my soon to be great great niece and I followed this video to make the binding. You are a fantastic instructor, Donna, and I could not have completely this type of binding without this video. Thank you so much, and keep these great videos coming

[@paulinederbyshire5694]

Love your tutorials always come back to you if I'm not sure on anything keep up the good work. You make lovely quilts

[@lindajige8249]

Another great NEW TECHNIQUE learned today! I love it.........contrast always makes a quilt so much more interesting! Thank you Donna!!

[@Wanda6308]

Hello Donna, I am making a baby quilt and I love this idea for the binding, I am at that point now

[@billrogerson2907]

I love watching your tutorials, you make it look so easy and are always in control of the fabric, amazing. Keep them coming !! Christine Rogerson

[@robertdunham8387]

I love this method. I use it more often then standard binding.

[@MadebyaBEAutifulqueenBea]

I need to stop watching your videos, but I can't! lol I need to work on my own quilt, but I can't... because I'm watching your videos. lmfao! 💙🐝💙

[@conniehusband1365]

Have watched this tutorial many times over.... This evening i sewed my first flange binding on a quilt! It has been a wonderful learning curve and the result is amazing! Thankyou Donna for the inspiration!

[@emilychadwick3857]

Donna, I just finished a flange binding, I wished I had seen this first. Your instructions are always so easy to understand. The quilter has the quilt now, can’t wait to get it back. Thank you for such great instructions. 🌷🙋‍♀️

[@grandmav]

I love the flange binding. You explained it so well. Thank you!

[@robcunningham7837]

I wish I lived closer. I know I could learn some great quilting technique from you....thank you for this binging video. I just finished the top is the carpenters square quilt from a previous video. Thank you for all you do...

[@CloudyWishes]

TOTALLY love how you got your corners perfectly matched . thanks for the inspiration x

[@JoeinPA]

Great video and explanation. I was able to easily make my first flange binding after watching this. It will be my go to binding now.

[@virginialegault4699]

My solution to stitching from the front is to turn the binding to the front then glue in place with binding clips holding it in place. Leave overnight then stitch in the ditch the next day. Just turns out way better when not having to hold it in place while stitching. Elmers school glue sticks work just fine.

[@louiselaforest6298]

That is a Beautiful Quilt, thank you so much for this video.

[@johnniebaldwin9470]

Absolutely love the entire quilt, the fabric selection is wonderful and then that fabulous flange binding is the bomb!

[@conniehusband1365]

An amazing tutorial Ms. DONNA! Only you could teach this concept and make it seem doable. Thankyou! Connie🐝

[@debbiewhiteman7173]

Love the flanged binding! It looks so nice!

[@sherrymatson708]

I’ve watched about ten tutorials on this subject, but not until yours did it become clear to me exactly how to do this. Your explanations and your close up shots did the trick! Very grateful. Thank you!

[@jjjlewis8351]

I've been wanting to try the flange binding. Your instructions were right on. I'm very pleased with how mine turned out. I used it on a wall hanging and it really enhanced the result. Thanks

[@maureengreen4008]

Definitely going to try this out on a baby quilt at some stage. Thank you🙋🏻‍♀️

[@chrissyoldfield8566]

Amazing tutorial! 👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@MarciaBaker1205]

just fabulous I use your technique & get great results. love your sparkly nails.

[@jordanfabrics8380]

Thank you - the videos give me a great excuse for gel manicures!

[@calquiltr]

Never doing binding by hand again! Thanks for this tutorial.

[@denisestilling2810]

So many helpful tips and tricks. Thank you.

[@denisestilling2810]

Watching it again . . . and still learning!

[@annphilbeck5174]

You can use wonder clips to hold down the binding at the corners. Thanks for another great tutorial.

[@joyceburrill2738]

Another great video Donna! I enjoy flange binding also but I've always made a little bigger. You've inspired me to try smaller next time. I'm making your starry log cabin right now and enjoying it. Thinking about making the stars float so I don't have to worry about the points. I love your floating star points. You and your family have made a huge difference in my quilting. From cutting, finger pressing, pressing, floating stars, and precision I've learned so much and I've improved tremendously. If only I had a quilting machine I could get to the next project faster. :-) Actually considering quilting by check. Do y'all quilt for others?

[@jordanfabrics8380]

I think that the flanged binding would be easier if it had been cut a bit wider and I am going to try that out next. We only do a limited amount of quilting services and right now it is only for our local customers who come into our retail store here in Grants Pass, Oregon.

[@joyceburrill2738]

Thank you. Wish I lived closer.

[@cindymcfarland4686]

I usually cut mine at 1.75" and 1.5". Seems to work well. I love flanged bindings!

[@nancyleemills247]

Cindy McFarland Very clever and neat😃

[@sead705]

Always learning something new from you Donna! It never gets old.

[@LP-mg9tn]

I enjoy watching you so very much, this one has got to one of my favorite thank you BEAUTIFUL 💙❤️💟🎆

[@jodysoberon4477]

Hi Donna! I so love your tutorials. So excited to find out you are actually in Oregon, and in Gts Pass, no less. From Brookings, I'll get over a few times a year. Just dropped in this last weekend. LOVE, LOVE LOVE your fabric selection, kits, display of yardage and even remnants, and it was nice to have you drop in on a weekend and get to meet you. Looking forward to much more!!

[@jordanfabrics8380]

Thanks so much!

[@RosemaryN]

This is just a wonderful tutorial. I can’t wait to try the technique. I will make one change- when topstitching on the front and approaching the corner, I always fold the bottom portion of binding up first, then form my mitered corner. This puts the fold angles in the opposite directions front and back, and makes it easier to sew that corner because the front fold is going in the same direction as you are sewing, so not fiddly at all to get to the corner. (Hard to explain lol)

[@sueoferrell7673]

I'm trying this now, but finding pressing the 1/4" seam on itself to get that 1/8" flange is very tricky. I'm anticipating problems trying to do those mitered corners with all that bulk of the seam inside the flange. You make it look so easy, I guess I'm not ready for this, but too late, I have to get this quilt finished.

[@deborahemielita5949]

Nice flange binding demonstration. Prefer to do a 45 diagonal stitch at the edge because that helps for the mitered corners. Also just saw a video stitching the binding seam with fusible thread (bobbin only) before turning then it’s turned and the iron fuses so it won’t shift upon top or ditch stitching. Superior threads also has videos on using fusible threads in other ways, which might also be great pre-iron for keeping the flange correctly lined up. Happy sewing!

[@terilooney]

Thanks for all your careful, easy to follow instructions!

[@elaineadair]

I tried this for first time - worked perfectly and beautifully! Even the corners were very good. Thank you.

[@texasmimi1954]

Wow, the tiny flange border made a huge impact in the finished quilt! Thanks for sharing this video!

[@patrickfarley8036]

This is a cool technique! As for the sewing of the miters (specifically, the red strips in the beginning), you said the material needs to be at a right angle but that's not actually correct! I know sounds crazy! The fabric can be wonky if you want. The important thing is that the sewing starts and stops at the intersections at top and bottom. Said another way the "V"s the materials make top and bottom. Try it. I didn't believe it either. If your not matching designs or pinstripes then a perfect 90 is not necessary!

[@AIassistingquiltsandcraft]

This actually made me like binding🎉🎉 I can’t believe it!! TY so much!! ❤ Merry Christmas 2022❤

[@mikialafd0715yt12]

I'm watching this video again & am still wondering why u recommend using "fingernail press" rather than pressing w/iron? (I asked same question a yr ago, but don't see answer.)

[@barbaracastle9967]

What kind of steam iron do you use? I love your tutorials!

[@susancastelletti4356]

Beautiful finish binding! Thanks for sharing this tutorial!

[@oldrvr]

I love your tutorials! So clear and concise! Thank you!
