Thank you , sir, for the wonderful tutorial. Everything is perfectly clear and without unnecessary information. Your job is highly appreciated.

[@mariesly2035]

I have made a few of the self binding receiving blankets, now I watched a person (female) that uses the same technique as you do. But she just zips along and I have stop and rewind numerous times before it gets processed. I am going to say this because I think you deserve to get all the credit. You one explain it really well and your video on the step by step instructions is very good along with your camera being right there showing each step as you go. You sir are my new hero. This is great and I plan to watch more of your videos keep on sewing. I just took up sewing in the last couple of months so I am an extreme novice. But you give me hope that I can and will be successful.

[@ellenhofer3343]

You can slow the speed of the video But, I agree with you about some hosts just go too darn fast

[@kayeprescott8228]

I think I watched the same video. Her video was just a little too speedy for me. This video I just watched is excellent!

[@Sandringham100]

I had the same experience, watching a lady who just zipped along and the camera was at an angle that I could not see properly. This video is so much better. Thank you for taking the time to make it!

[@sonyamarion8569]

Mr. "Ask me how I know!". I find your tutorial very refreshing. Just like a comment, a female teacher just blows through the blanket, and I'm, "Wait, what?"Back up! You are very clear and informative. Thank you so much. 😂❤

[@EvaDoubleMama]

" line up the ruler WITH THE FOLD!! Ask me how I know!! " Love it!!!

[@danmarhoover3837]

“Ask me how I know!” 😂 I watched a different tutorial and my first blanket had wonky corners. Now I know! Thanks

[@ramonaharris5255]

He explained this so much easier than anyone else I've watched. Thank you!

[@megegert861]

This was the most clear, through, and organized video I’ve seen. You’re a great teacher and apparently friend!

[@ellenhofer3343]

Me, too

[@pampelly267]

Thank you a hundred times over. I followed several other tutorials, but always got lost on mitering those corners. I ended up with a lot of bad news. I could not see how they handled those corners, but you showed how not once, but twice with a good view of where the fold lays, where you place the ruler--it was all so visible that I could follow right along with you and I had success! No more bad news. Thanks for making it so much easier!

[@ScrappyPatch]

That’s awesome!! Glad it help.

[@beerich2117]

I love watching guys who sew! 😁 Thanks for sharing your beautiful blankets with us. Great job!

[@debbiebrugman4543]

Great instructions. Clear, precise and to the point. Thanks so much. I will be making several tomorrow for charity.

[@angelaprcs1]

Love when a man sews, i have taught my boys how to sew and embroider. thank you for making this look so easy!

[@beverleyoakland298]

I love the way you sewed this minky! So easy! Thank you from Souuthy California.

[@petermurrayjr.5907]

Oh thank goodness you explain this so easy. Especially making sure about where the edge should be to mark to make the ears!!

[@douglasradowick508]

SC, as a 58 year young guy-me- whose been seeing since I was 8. Bought my own sewing machine at 23. I'm enjoying the sight of another guy that can see "with no shame to his game!" NEVER allow anyone-not even yourself-to badmouth you for your talent! I know I must subscribe to your channel for my own growth as a "seamster"! Doug❤️👍😁😇🤓

[@lalalaura747]

Your tutorial made it easy to understand how to make a receiving blanket. I just made one and now have the confidence to make some more. The mitered corners don’t look so hard to make anymore. Thanks to you for the excellent tutorial. Oh, btw the reminders to back stitch is so helpful.

[@sandibrowne4580]

The best instructions I've seen on this type of blanket. Thanks so much.

[@barbarastruhs3733]

You are adorable. I love it when a man sews. I remember those nice, big home made receiving blankets I received from friends! They're the best. Thank you for a good tutorial.

[@suelematty]

Started sewing at 63. First blanket I’ve ever made, and it turned out! I’m so impressed with myself. Your instructions were perfect! Thank you!

[@jndking9419]

Very clear and step by step, thank you.

[@irenehamilton7353]

I LOVED this video! Thank you so much. Great teacher!

[@traceymaher5292]

I thought you were amazing at explaining I have watched other videos on this and you make it so much easier I think so thank you

[@brendascally116]

This is the best self binding video out there. SEW easy! I have wasted a lot of time with other videos that were not clear. This technique makes it super easy and fun!!! Ty

[@marniesmalridge8152]

This was the most exact clear teaching on how to make a self binding blanket that I’ve watched on all of youtube tutorials. I appreciate the focusing with your camera when marking the exact measurements. Thank you and I’ll definitely watch your other videos ... great job! 😊

[@ellenhofer3343]

I've watched alot of them and I have to agree! I've made many of them and I'm making one now...

[@Qui7422]

Thank you Mr Scrappy Patch. This is my newest obsession. I have a 4th grandbaby coming and I just made this. I hope you come back soon.

[@cinnybuggable]

Thanks for your awesome tutorial ❣️ My sister & I faithfully watch it every time we need to make another baby blanket. It's the best one out there❣️❣️

[@sharonmccollister4204]

Great demo and great teacher. Those dog ears had me stumped and first try was the BAD NEWS you spoke of. I watched tons of vedios and thought I had it but nope. After watching your close, clear pictures, I got it. Thanks.

[@melodypoage6067]

Agreed! Your instructions and visuals are very clear. Truth be told, I saw your pic and chose this video because my brain works like a man’s brain when it comes to constructing something (dad’s family all cabinet makers!) Now to go back and fix the first two quilts. Third time’s a charm!

[@kraftygayle9718]

Glad that you said on corners “measure from the fold” I did one before and the instructions didn’t say “from the fold line” Thank you, Thank you!!

[@ScrappyPatch]

You're welcome!

[@judysanchez3924]

I love your version of the self binding receiving blanket. I will definitely try to make this. Your instructions are so easy to follow. Thanks for sharing, God bless you!

[@sharonolson8534]

I enjoyed your tutorial on the self-binding receiving blanket. Very well done! Not only do you show the step but you describe in detail. I’m a visual learner & this helped me so much. Thank you.

[@ScrappyPatch]

You are so welcome!

[@sharon3017]

I've seen this tutorial done by others, but your example is the best. Very clear, and I love that you showed the pucker, as we all have them sometimes and panic. Love your work.Thank you.

[@anniecollins6219]

Have watched several videos on selfing binding blankets and this was the best. Well done!!!

[@evahudson6128]

Thank you thank you thank you. I was beginning think I didn't have a brain until I saw and understood your clear and concise instructions. I am so grateful. Eva UK.

[@sharonmccollister4204]

OMGOSH..I really did get it from your instructions. I struggled with those dog ears over two months. Watched your vedios twice and I DID it this time I GOT MITERED CORNERS. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[@ScrappyPatch]

CONGRATS!! Sharon!! I would love to see it! You can post pics to my Facebook account if you have one! facebook.com/scrappys.patch.1

[@janicegroganbrown6403]

I spent hours on this part and I couldn’t figure it out you are the best

[@lucilledaub5991]

Beautiful bibs burp cloths and receiving blankets.

[@DianaHernandez-kn1ne]

Awesome video, adorable blankets! tfs

[@joanneogley4874]

I appreciate your video on how to make these

[@MsMollyMuffinHead]

This was great. Slow, step by step, easy to understand. This beginner just did her first one, and it came out great. It was forgiving where it needed to be and the corners are sharp. Thanks so much for such an easy to follow project!

[@sherylsnyder1374]

Hi Scrappy. I’ve watched numerous videos on how to get the mitred corners correct, but your video was the most informative! Thank you so much.

[@kathyb.8769]

Superb instructions. I watched MSQ's tutorial a long time ago and never really got it.... but after watching you, I made one! Thank you so much.

[@tinapoirier3524]

Such beautiful gifts, I’m sure your friend will love it, I know I would’ve, when I had my babies.* There is nothing nicer than getting a homemade gift that’s made from the heart.

[@donnabankstahl2457]

You videos are AWESOME! You make everything so easy to follow along. Thanks for sharing your talents with all of us❤️

[@ellenhofer3343]

[@jackiedillard127]

This is an amazing tutorial! Thank you so much for explaining each step. I'll be making this blanket this weekend. Appreciate you! ❤

[@ellenhofer3343]

Fabulous video. Best I've watched. Thank you for showing a top view of the corner cut. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I've made many of these and I always do a basting stitch in the corners and turn it inside out to make sure I did it right on the 1st one!!!I I'll print a screen shot of the corner and won't have to baste first. Also thank you for the tip about buying 2 yards of each fabric!

[@patriciahorvath1137]

best video ever on these baby blankets... made approx 10 so far, over the past year and this is my 'Go To' video !! thank you!!

[@OhjenniferO]

Excellent tutorial...especially the mitered corners! You made it so clear and EASY-peasy!

[@veamcher]

Thank you for this video. Even thought you made it 3 yrs ago, I recently came across it and just made 2 blankets and they turned out super cute!

[@dennismirac6603]

Another easy and practical sewing video. I'm sure your friend will be thrilled.

[@kraftygayle9718]

EXCELLENT.!! I like that the camera is always on the project. Videos.

Perfect timing! I need to make a baby blanket this week!

[@WhippetOut]

You’re an excellent teacher. This is a great idea!

[@bobbiejoyce1402]

I forgot the 1/4" mark at the corners. Your instructions were great and the easiest I have found. Will send picture of corrected completed project. Thank you so much for sharing not only your sewing/crafting talents, but your gift of teaching. 😉💙

[@beckytheobsessedstitcher1170]

[@TheMzTR]

Tks for sharing this tutorial with us. I love making gifts & it's more personal & a lot of love gets put into it! Looking forward to more uploads

[@marens8925]

Just finished my first blanket , it turned out perfect. Thanks for the get tutorial.

[@shelmeckinmoo]

I tried this blanket a year ago. Seriously a year ago and gave up after the first go. the tutorials (7 different) I watched were absolutely useless! I gave up, cut up the flannel for dusting rags and chalked it up for my fail even though I've been a seamstress for 40 years this relatively simple blanket eluded me.. I watched your video last night, thought I'd give it a go as our friends daughter is having a first baby. today, thanks to your tutorial, I actually did it! I am seriously happy and thankful for your guidance.

[@deborahburgett5878]

Oh my gawd. I just plain LOVE you! Those mitered corners have been so pesky... I formulated my own free hand way of KNOWING they are right.... and it’s exacting.... JUST USED YOUR METHOD. It is PERFECT!!! The line perfectly matches my OCD engineering method. “THANK YOU” does not begin to show my appreciation!!!!!! THANK YOU GOBS and BUNCHES!!!!!!!!!

[@ScrappyPatch]

AWE!! You're welcome!

[@sonichedgehogcooler3542]

Nicely done Scrappy! I usually make lined drawstring bags, but this looks like something I could handle...I love straight lines!!

[@marens8925]

Of all the videos I havwe watched for making a self binding baby blanket, yours is the most understandable. You are very precise and make following along very easy, Thanks for another great video.

[@ScrappyPatch]

You are so welcome!

[@pjgfountaine7690]

Thanks so much. I have a new grand baby coming, and this will be great as a gift. Your way of explaining the steps means they are very easy to understand and make sense of. This is a keeper video....thank you and i hope your friends’ baby is enjoying the blankets! Surely, so

[@donnalynnhorniacek4785]

Great tutorial. I have made several,but needed a refresher to be sure that I do the corners correctly. Thank you

[@yvonnemoretti7646]

I really like how this turns out. I have to give it a try. I picked up a panel piece of flannel and I found some to match so tomorrow I am putting it together. Thank you

[@wendywilliams9893]

So easy to follow and full of really useful tips. Brilliant!! Thankyou

[@MrAKAyot]

Thanks for a perfect instructions video. My first receiving blanket looks amazing! Did it for my Grandson :-)

[@wilycat5290]

Great job 🤩. Love the blankets and accessories. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕

[@judyharding2702]

TY so much. I watched 3 others making the self binding quilt . But I was lost at mitred corners. Now I can do, thanks to your explanation.😊❤️

[@janakpurohit2062]

Beautiful And very easy. Thank you.

[@karenholly6221]

I will have to try this soon. Thank you!

Oh, so Sweet! I love the fabric you picked out! What a lucky friend you have! Nice job. Stay dry and safe. Love your videos! Peace and Good Fortune to you and your family.

[@ScrappyPatch]

As always THANKS!!

[@anndalynnketellapper8296]

Thanks for your tutorial. I have been sewing for years and making baby clothes etc, but have never made a blanket like this. Very clear instructions! Before turning right side out, I ironed the seam towards the binding. I also did a double row of top stitching, instead of a decorative stitching, on the binding. It turned out great! Thanks again. Keep the tutorials coming!

[@ScrappyPatch]

Awesome tips! Thank You!!

[@jsilva7586]

This is one of my favorite video and you're a great teacher thank you very much for sharing

[@robinmazariegos1]

That was very clever!!! I love your method. Thanks

[@lindawozniak706]

Thank you so much for this easy to understand. I have watched 3 other ones and continued to get box corners instead of mitter corners. I was ready to give up and found you, I just finished my first baby blanket and it’s perfect. I am looking forward to watching the rest of your videos and making more blankets.

[@ScrappyPatch]

Glad I could help!!
