I love watching your videos! There are many reasons why I choose your videos over other quilters. First, Your voice is soothing to listen to and you are not in a rush. Next, you give so many examples to explain the reasoning behind your process of doing things. It’s like I am sitting right beside you learning directly from you. Thank you for your talent and wisdom. ❤️

Thanks for this and so many other wonderful videos. You're an excellent teacher with a calm and professional manner. I have complete confidence that the projects I try from your tutorials will succeed. So far so good. I have switched from 2" to 21/2" binding. With a little trimming there is no danger of skipping on the back when machine sewing the binding on.

I like my strips to be cut at 2.5 inch. When I trim my quilt edges I leave slightly more than 1/4 inch so that when I fold over my binding to hand stitch on the back side of the quilt the binding has a full feeling. I don't know if that makes sense.

I find the width depends on if it goes on a quilt that goes on bed I leave it 2 1/2 inches. If I’m using on a floor toy mat it’s 2 inches with a very thin cotton batting. Either way it’s whatever you like in the end. I love the green and white polka dots.

Yes binding can change on the size of the batting and on the size that you want the look to be. Have a great day

excellent tutorial!! your'e a really great teacher! not only cuz you explain and show things super clearly, but because you even anticipate questions we would likely have. I suppose most experienced sewers would forget their early beginner questions from back when they started. (which is also why many people may be great at something but can't necessarily teach it from the very abc's). I was always one of those annoying kids that was like 'ok but whyyyy?' lol. now that I've 'matured' (do we ever really? ;) ), I'm ok just telling myself 'shut up, just cuz this is how it's done, trust the experts' and moving on, but I admit in all the vids I've watched showing this, I did keep having this nagging pesky question 'ok but curious tho, why not attach with a straight across seam?" well, now i know, so thank you!' :)

great idea using 2 1/4 inches for the strips. If you are machine sewing the binding down, do you sew with the front side of the quilt facing up or down? It would seem that doing it from the front would be sure to catch the binding with the stitching close to the inside edge of the binding. your videos are great, your voice is wonderful, calm, and reassuring and very instructive.

If I am machine stitching the binding down I like the front to be the underside side, that way the good side is always up:)

How would you determine the seam allowance if you want the binding to look the same (be an equal amount) on the front and back?
@kathleenkingsbury3674 жыл бұрын
I like to use a 2" strip on small projects like pot holders or little hanging quilts. I generally use 2 1/4" for bigger projects. I do have a question though. Do you have a reason for cutting the strip seam allowance wider than a quarter inch?
@alexandradombrowski49153 жыл бұрын
Yes. 1/4" seams are only necessary for precision piecing of the quilt top, as they are all presssed to one side. This is not done for bindings or borders. Notice how Laura teaches us to press these seams open as well. When you press any seam open, it should be wider than a quarter inch for strength, since a 1/4" pressed open might become undone more easily than a wider one would. 'Hope that helps?

Just curious - why do you trim your seam allowance (after mitering the two strips together) to slightly larger than a quarter inch? Thank you for all your (wonderfully informative!) videos.

My brain needs additional procedure guidelines. With the fabric having a definite right and wrong side, no problem. But when both sides are the same I invariably end up with the binding seams not all being on the same side. Embarrassing to get stuck on this seemingly simple task. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you
