Thank you so much for the SHORT tutorial! So many time I look for a quick explanation so I can get back to work, but end up with a lot of bla bla bla, before they get to the point. Thank you for the short and sweet!

@nonya.bizness thats exactly what I just told her too. I hate all the 😮yammering about unnecessary information like what her dog ate and how the neighbors hate her fence, lol . Not that it's what's really been said but you get it.

[@christinej2358]

Thank you for the corner tip! The corners have always caused me issues until now. Thank you!

[@nancych7081]

For me, the hardest part of quilting is the binding. Thank you for showing and explaining the process in such a clear way. I really appreciate that. After watching your video, I feel confident to go finish the Christmas tree skirt I'm making for my Son and Daughter-in-Law for Christmas.

[@toniremy6426]

I’m a beginner quilter and this looks like an interesting method to try. Thanks for the tutorial. 😊

[@patriciagechei8145]

So glad I found you. I couldn't figure out how far to extend the backing. Short and easy to follow❤😊

[@marlenejones6266]

I am just learning. I am making a landscape quilt which isn't perfect but it's not bad for my first one. I knew I had seen this method done before but didn't know what it was called. I just put in what I thought would work, and I found you, thank goodness. You are precise and to the point. Now tomorrow I can finish this. And start a new one of sea life with a big turtle as the focal underwater main dude. Lol thank you so much. I love your baby quilt.

[@marycaratelli9785]

Thank you so much. You are a wonderful teacher!! I feel very comfortable moving forward with this technique.

[@froesfamily335]

Thank you lots. Your method and directions, especially for the mitered corners, are so easy and clear! I’m doing quilt after quilt this way now and it’s so fast and easy and it saves fabric and money and time’

[@susanolevson1317]

I really like this binding!!! I have been making quilts using different bindings and none are easier than this one. I found quilt as you go the most time consuming and difficult to bind, and the next one was adding a 2 1/2 inch strip binding sewn to the front and back(not easy for me either) and the easiest was one I just finished a self binding one but the binding is too wide for my liking. I am about to finish a quilt for my son as a gift and I will use this binding for that…Thanks so much

[@susieinthecountry4434]

until I have more confidence sewing, I will use this binding method. thanks for sharing it♥

[@jackiesullinger8471]

I just found your channel and I am so excited at how you explain everything. Please continue adding videos for quilting g Grandmothers like ne. I'm a Missouri fan!!!👏👏

[@kellygoforth8380]

Love this. I hand sew my binding as well. Just think it makes a better finished product. Thank you for the video

[@marktreatrepeat5543]

This is so helpful and concise! Thank you so much.

[@bondee5865]

Nice tutorial 🙋🏼✂️🪡🧵, you make it look so easy!

[@miriamnahom3963]

This is great! I have to try this method! Thank you! Would u be able to show how you make those beautiful perfect hearts?

[@kredfox]

The Best Video Tutorial! Great instructions. Simple to follow. Easy to understand. Well demonstrated! THANKS!

[@macy.nathanwilson1220]

So simple and easy to follow. Thank you!!

[@jenniferlee9697]

Thank you! This is just what I was looking for!

[@atomicpepper]

Your corners look beautiful. Thanks for the tutorial

[@jdmarr2259]

Thank you! I was going to round the corners of a wallhanging I'm working on & use bias tape in order to avoid the mitered corners. Your explanation convinced me to keep it square & use mitered corners.

[@luci9407]

This was incredibly helpful thank you!

[@maria2400]

I’m so glad I found this video. I very much love how you did this. Thank you.

[@lindajoyce5322]

Thank you , very well explained

[@pattyhargrove3430]

Gorgeous quilt and great tutorial! Thanks so much-

[@mona1949]

Thank you so much for this video. Am just starting to learn the basics of quilting. Our church makes quilt to donate.

[@Me-xo5tw]

Thank you I love you ❤️

[@karenkauffman8193]

Best explanation I’ve seen

[@suebean3873]

Very well done, thank you. Have not tried it yet, but I think I can handle it.

[@tinaandersen8910]

Thank you for this video. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos. I just stumbled on your page.

[@joanmacleod1362]

Excellent explanation

[@yoliec9426]

So helpful!

[@windycityliz7711]

So easy - and efficient. I always have at least 1" of backing leftover, so why cut more binding, fold, sew again, when I can just do this? Thanks for making it look so easy.

[@sherylmichael4754]

Thank you for this wonderful way of binding. It cuts out so many steps and looks much better than the other bindings. What a genius you are.

[@conniecruz880]

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the support!

[@agnesaj9199]

This method looks so easy!!! But, I'm confused about how you went about squaring up your quilt without cutting off all of the excess batting and backing?

[@Rayan_nasser]

[@dianegentry3255]

Great video. Thank you!

[@IrmaCortez-hc4yo]

Great video for this newbie soon-to-Grandmother!! Love the fabrics on this baby quilt. Where can I get some? Can I get it online? Thanks again! 😊

[@judykoudssi9850]

I have a question. I have found a very old hand quilted top that my grandmother did many, many years ago. It’s very dirty, so first it needs cleaning. Should I hand wash it? Next I would like to finish it but I am unable to do fine handwork. So, what is your opinion of me finding a flexible fusing web, ironing on a bed sheet to her top? Any idea and help would be greatly appreciated!!

[@ckeith1274]

What rotary cutter do you use? I have bought four and none cut through butter. Or is it your mat that is the trick? Thank you!

[@hazelem1266]

Thank you for this. So you just do the same if the binding is wider? Just make the batting and backing wider?

[@QuiltsOnTour]

Yup, that’s what you would need to do.

[@micheleberry1878]

I'm making a quilt using charm packs. Probably around the size of 60x80.......not sure yet. I'm not planning to do a border like you have there. How wide should the finished self binding be? Do you think I need a border like you have?

[@QuiltsOnTour]

You don’t have to have a border. I would make your backing fabric at least 4 inches wider and longer than you need so you have plenty of material to work with. Especially since backing fabric can move a little when quilting. So going by the measurements you gave I would make your backing 64x84 and center your top so there is 2 inches showing all the way around. I hope that makes sense!

[@pennyrogers314]

Can the front of the binding be sewed on machine instead of hand sewing?

[@AuntBBrett]

Any chance you could post pattern/directions for the baby quilt shown? Please???

[@QuiltsOnTour]

I didn’t really have a pattern. I used 4 1/2” squares and laid them out in the design that I wanted. And cut out some hearts and appliquéd them on some of the squares. Then added a border to make it the size I wanted. Hope that helps!!

[@valeriehofmann2615]

Tried this but ended up cutting the backing :(

[@pamelafowler4406]

Binding is not my friend. Your method is so much easier!
