How to Join Strips for Borders and Bindings

[@Parmar.angelk]

This is BY FAR the best instructional video on binding that I’ve seen. Thank you!

[@suehale4890]

Thank you so much for the simple way you showed how to join strips. Your instructions were very clear and easy for me to understand.

[@caroletasker6519]

Thank you! This is my go to video for joining strips - i always forget what to do from one quilt to the next!

[@suepittman6864]

I was struggling with how to join multiple strips for a long border and your video saved the day. Thanks

[@overallquilter]

That’s great Sue, thanks for watching!

[@melanietannertaylor0401]

WOW 14yrs ago you made this video ! And i just learned something new from it ! TY 😊

[@sharonbaker9525]

Thank you so much for the detailed instructions on how to join strips together. It's always been a struggle doing this correctly but with your instructions, it was perfect the first time. I am sorry to see that you have not had a video on KZbin for several years.

[@janwolf2000]

Best video I’ve seen of doing this - Thank you!

[@debburton3836]

Thank you, very easy instructions, it would have been helpful to indicate which side your fabric sits for each strip, especially since yours was one color, it was hard to see which side was front or back.

[@jamiewhitman5343]

Agreed. Knowing right sides of fabric would be helpful.

[@LyndaRodgers-dc9xn]

So grateful; thank you, so simple and easy to follow!

[@markayw]

One of the best tutorials I watched so clear and easy to understand. Thanks for posting

[@maryviti6799]

Ms Aimee, Thank you for your time and knowledge. Haven’t made border or binding strips in a while. Sew much easier with your explicit directions, then relying on my senior citizen memory😉! 🍀

[@tnmtnmorning1178]

Thank you! Clear and to the point. Perfect!

[@overallquilter]

You are so welcome!

[@phillyart2wear76]

Really Good presentation! It was clear, audible, concise, and very understandable! Thanks So Much!

[@rapnacek3074]

THANK YOU!! I'm new at quilt.ing and have spent time trying to figure out how to join to make it look nice. Very clear instructions

[@kathyburda193]

Thank you for the clear explanation and video. Using your instructions, my borders came out perfectly!!

[@sherrieguerrero2472]

Thank you - I finally got it with your clear explanation and demonstration. Much appreciated!!!

[@98stryker]

Very nice tutorial! Cleared up any questions I had on doing this. Thank you.

[@joycehollenbach2513]

best video i have seen on this yet!

[@overallquilter]

Thank you Joyce!

[@rapunzelstower22]

this was a great straight froward video, loved it :) thank you for making it so simple

[@misottovoce]

Back stitching is important in projects such as clothing making to hold the seam closed while a sleeve or zipper or waistband etc needs to be set in or added. In projects such as this video, the seam binding will be stitched on to (and hence stitched OVER the little binding seam) a finished projects such as mug rug or baby bib or quilt etc. Where there is not a lot of handling or for very small projects, back stitching is not necessary. You are not wrong. It's a 'sometimes' thing.

[@misottovoce]

That little piece of cloth she placed under the pressure foot insures that there is no thread tangle nor that little point of the seam will not be drawn down between the feed dogs.

[@veronicabrown3208]

Thanks so much, such an easy way and great instructions!

[@Biddybee]

Brilliant-thank you!

[@vijayagauri7988]

Thank you for this tutorial.

[@darlenenelson215]

thank you that makes them so even :)

[@Perenniallady57]

Do you start with the back sides of the fabric together? Or the good sides together?

[@KissieKat]

Great video!!!

[@maryjo9049]

It would help a great deal if you indicated right side up or down for the strips. Your fabric is the same on both sides. but most fabric is different on each side.

[@MsJoannj]

Mary Jo Carroll always right sides together

[@marchgriffin]

Hi Mary, Strips should be right sides together, so the bottom strip is facing up and the top strip is facing down. happy quilting! Aimee

[@Carol-lz6dd]

Good thought. I thought the same thing - especially for beginning sewers. Very well explained otherwise though.

[@MBeal-dd2dt]

Well done.

[@thomolicious]

Much appreciated

[@misottovoce]

Right sides together :>D

[@needinsight]

i always thought backstitching was a must. I guess i was wrong.

[@Carol-lz6dd]

I think it's not necessary here because these strips are folded over and then sewed over when attached to the quilt.

[@Marla.22]

didn't see anything resembling a BORDER..This was binding

[@susangilland740]

Borders can be any width. Use this method for joining strips for both binding and borders.
