It's good to leave in the mistakes so we don't make them . thank you for clarifying flange binding.

[@veevee111]

I love Beverly's 'binding extension with a flange' tip! I say we start calling her the Quilt Whisperer 😊

[@eileensecrest2185]

What a pleasant guest and I learned a lot! Thanks, Bev! And thanks for demonstrating, Di! I really do want to try this! Now Im off to watch the binding hack video!

[@christi4169]

I'm just going to be honest. I almost didn't watch this video because I thought this isn't something I'll ever want to do. I am so glad I watched it! This was so inspiring! I've done several bindings since watching your binding corner hack and I can't do it any other way now, it's the ONLY way to do it!!!!

[@marshawallace7522]

I love using a flange binding when it accents a quilt. Bev is correct, a flange binding doesn't always look good on every quilt. I too have used a flange binding when I didn't have enough of the fabric remaining that I wanted to bind my quilt with. It was the perfect solution. Bev brought great examples of flange bindings that work and a couple that didn't as well as expected. I appreciate seeing the scrappy flange binding and seeing what happens if there isn't enough contrast in the fabrics used in the flage. I am sure that she just kept me from doing that same thing. This was a wonderful tutorial! Bev is delightful! ❤ the rockin' tunes.

[@paulabecker7483]

I absolutely love how the quilts look with the flange. I can't wait to try this

[@karoliyer4860]

Wow…. I’ve learned something new and absolutely beautiful…..I’ll definitely try this out on my next quilt……thanks to both of you Beverly and Di……..I’m so excited to try this!

[@barbaraanderson2554]

Ken's Sewing Center has an industrial stitch in the ditch foot that fits on your machine that makes sewing down the flange really easy. It cost about $20. It is articulated and has a little fence in the center. It rides along the edge of the ditch. Thanks for showing how to split the strips and spread out the bulk. I have used the flange method on my last 20 or so quilts. I cut mine a bit wider because I like to use a wider seam for attaching the binding. That way more fabric is held by the feeddogs. Thanks for the great channel.

[@judyhebert8928]

Will definitely watch this again and try it on a quilt!

[@jshipard54]

Great video Ladies. I haven’t made a flange binding for a long time. You have me inspired now. Bev’s quilt at the end is amazing! Love from Australia 🥰

[@ladybugsareviciousdefenders]

I just join my whole binding + flange on the diagonal as for normal binding. It lines up perfectly and it's quick and easy.

[@longarmingbyjaclyn]

Me too!

[@TheSewingChannel]

💥The flange binding looks great girls!!!! (Hi ya Bev! ❤) Love the quilt!!!

Thanks Tracy, it was fun having Bev. We all learned what a cutie she is from my retreat, right? Thanks for watching.

[@SusanMealy]

You're such an accomplished quilter, Di, but I can't believe you had never done a faux flange! What a treat to have your friend Bev come in and teach us all! I stayed up late to watch this tutorial and it was well worth my time, too! I loved seeing all of the quilts and understanding what works and what doesn't. Please plan to do a future tutorial using Bev's last quilt as inspiration.

[@sherylsolcan8354]

Great video, lots of tips and great instructions. Beautiful scrappy quilt Bev!

[@PhotoKevin]

What a "FLANGETASTIC" tut.....and Di....you're a hoot!

[@mariejohns1387]

Hi Di! I never would’ve thought that flange binding would be that simple until you get to the joining of the pieces at the end. Bevs Quilt at the end of the video is absolutely gorgeous!

[@ladybugsareviciousdefenders]

They complicate the end join. Just do it the same diagonal join as usual all in one piece. Lines up fine.

[@vickiheath6133]

I didn’t even know this was a quilting term, I just finished making some quilt binding using this exact method and I thought I’d come up with it out of my own head. I’m glad that I was on the right track.

[@pattischolten7303]

[@annsipe821]

Thanks so much for the videos you have been doing on binding - learned something from each. I gave up flange binding because my join and corners were awkward and did not look great, looking forward to trying this method .

I just want to go through the screen and hug Little Miss Bev. She’s so adorable…not to mention she makes the most AMAZING bread and rolls!! Miss ya guys. Love the flange binding. Gorgeous quilt Bev made on your design wall. Can’t wait to see how you quilt it Miss Di. 🤗🤗

[@sisterchicksquilting]

I know, she is so huggable 🤗 Didn't she do a great job of teaching me?!? How would you quilt it Debbie?

[@debbiedobbins6785]

@@sisterchicksquilting she did amazing. Very easy to understand. What about that heart swirl design. Something kinda flowy. It’s such a cute and cheery quilt. ☺️

[@debbiedobbins6785]

@@sisterchicksquilting oh wait…you mean the one Miss Bev did…gosh I don’t know…someone told me once of the design of the top has diamonds or squares you should go with a swirl or circles so it doesn’t take away from the design but I don’t know how true that is.

[@diane19456]

me too! I have finished tops that need binding! This give me incentive!!!thanks

[@ThePerniciousAngel]

OH MY!! So glad I didn't pass this video up. I'll be putting my very first flange binding on a quilt soon and had absolutely no clue about unpicking at the end before you finish sewing it on to the back!!! Thank you so much for making this video 😁

I'm glad you liked it and thank you so much for watching my videos! BTW I really like your screen name, I think we would be good friends and partners in crime, ha, ha, ha!

Could you do a tutorial on the french braid border? I love your quilt Beverly! Thank you so much Di for the great flange binding tutorial!

[@sylviasayers9332]

I did one flange binding, and it did not turn out well. Thank you for the tutorial. I might get brave and try it again. By the way, the background music was very Boss!! I think you should have been wearing black leather!!

[@sisterchicksquilting]

HA, ha, ha to the background music comment! LOLing! The Engineer loves rock and roll and I told him to choose the music. So far one viewer has complained about it and now you like it! :) Black leather, ha, ha, ha! Keep trying with the flange, frankly I'm still a tad hesitant but am going to give it another shot until I master the skill. Thanks Sylvia :)

[@person2463]

Engineer! "Is was fussy"?? The horror 😱 agree with Bev about the setting triangles being made larger, can always trim down, but adding on, will eat your points. I love her scrappy four patch. But two inch squares! And then one and a half!! Congrats Di on your first flange binding. It is so cute, and adds such "ta-da"❤. Hugs, Chel 🌸

[@tsmith3774]

Thanks ladies for this tutorial. I have been waiting for it so I can play it while I try my first one. Things always go a little easier when you have some support in the sewing room with you. Tell the engineer I thought his music choice was fitting since you both rocked this video! 😄

[@SandyDenney-so5ms]

I love your video & you & Bev are heavenly. I'm sewing a flange binding on a quilt now. What a great technique.

[@deborahlunsford6983]

Wonderful video. Thank you for bringing this very cool lady. Will definitely do it.

[@Craftythrifter]

I love a flange binding! That’s a great tip to sew the ends together separately. To you’re right I don’t usually like how mine come out, I will DEF try that next time! Thanks!❤

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

Brilliant tutorial, thanks. I keep meaning to try faux flange binding I have done a real flange binding before on a small project. I tried your binding trick of adding an extra few millimetres at the corner and it worked beautifully, so many thanks for that tip Di.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Oh, I'm glad you like the binding tip Zaza! It's the best thing I've learned in the quilting world for a really long time and every time I use it I'm still amazed at hoe easy it makes the process. Thanks for watching!

[@dannamcgowen3889]

I love the flange binding. Thank you ladies. Di- 4 patches from your 2.5" scraps will look beautiful (especially with a flange binding.)

[@sisterchicksquilting]

They would Danna, but every time I see one of her tiny block quilts I get a little jelly and think mine will look goofy with great big 2.5" blocks. Ha, ha, ha! Thanks for watching!

[@lindakQOV]

You and Bev make a great team!🎉 Flange binding are one of my favorites, too. Only thing I don’t like is that you have to sew those LONG strips together. 😂

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thank you, she started as a customer and has become such a great friend. We've even FARTED together, LOL! When I saw the end results, I didn't mind doing any of the work, I love me some flange binding! Thanks for watching Linda!

[@annolsen8276]

Love this. I just did a flange binding. The border and binding was the same dark mauve, with a yellow flange, which matched the yellow inner border and background. The yellow flange pops. I used your corner method, and my corners were perfect. Thank you for the tips. I love watching your videos. I wish I had watched this before I did mine, the attaching the ends together was very informative.

[@helenpeddycord2241]

So much thanks to Bev!🎉 And thank you for the demo Di. Can’t wait to do my first flange binding🧡🧡🧵

You guys are wonderful together! Both so talented. I’ve done flange before and didn’t find it difficult until I had had to join the ends!! Perfect explanation! TY! Can I ask, who picked out the music for the video?? This is not meant as a complaint but as good as you ladies are, it doesn’t match your personalities! It sounds like mad mechanics, extreme sports or motor sports. 😊

[@marycook9607]

Like your quilt.

[@lcsd863]

I tried a 1/4” flange binding on a quilt. When i flipped it over I had the same concern about it flipping up. I used a serpentine stitch to sew it down. I went back to a narrow flange for my next quilt.

[@bapekar02]

I love this idea ❤

[@crissmorris7378]

❤awesome job

[@delwyngraham4033]

They look great but I am funny about the stitching on the back that’s why I tend to hand sew binding down but with the flange need to sew in the ditch😂 catch 22

[@ru4repeattoo]

Superb tutorial! Thank you Bev Thank you Di. *By way of feedback...the sewing music was a bit jarring. Could be my migraine, but it seemed a bit too loud, and a bit of a juxtaposition with the overall video.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Oh dear! I gave The Engineer free reign with the music and he chose ROCK and ROLL, What in The World?!?! I won't make that mistake again. Thank you for watching :) Di

[@gmhalmeoni2085]

By golly I had the same response. It did seem too loud and rather unsuited somehow. Something melodious like Moonlight Serenade without its vocals or no music at all? My sincere apologies for disliking the "music" ~ it just made it hard to pay attention to anything else. (But hey, I’m an old lady…) My suggestion for anyone else who found it jarring is to turn off the sound & turn on the captions. That way I could turn the volume up again when I saw that you were talking. 😊

[@adeleshapiro3205]

Great tutorial but not sure why this is called “faux flange”. It s a real flange

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Actually a real flange would be an entirely separate piece inserted under a binding. This is a faux flange because it's sewn/attached to the binding and by the way it's pressed it mimics a real flange. Personally I think the faux flange is a genius invention/method as it comes out so perfectly even. That would be difficult to match on a real flange binding. Thanks for your comment and for watching my channel Adele.

[@adeleshapiro3582]

@@sisterchicksquilting Thank so much for getting back to me and so quickly!! I didn't realize that there is another way to do a flange! Love this method and love how well it was explained.

[@anndalynnketellapper8296]

To add to Di’s comment…a normal way to add a flange (Brits call it a fillet. Pronounced “fill it”)) is to cut a 1” piece of fabric, fold it in half and stitch the raw edge on to the quilt then add your binding. I added a flange to my Christmas quilt and did an edge-to-edge design. It turned out great, but I had to tape the flange down so the head of my foot didn’t get caught under it. Nice addition to a quilt, but a pain to quilt on your home machine.

[@brendagriffin6437]

WOW!!!!!

[@georgiamccroy6527]

I’m getting ready to bind a scalloped edge quilt. Have you had success in using this method with bias binding?

[@longarmingbyjaclyn]

I have a video that shows the formula for your own custom flange measurements on my channel. I actually still owe a striped binding video! I guess I need to go fabric shopping. How have I used ALL my striped fabrics?

[@melanietannertaylor0401]

Di, does it matter which fabric goes on top when sewing them together? I do believe it does. I'm having flash backs of some messed up flanged binding 😢

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Do you mean when you sew the flange strip and the binding strip together? No I don't see that would matter because you could just flip the whole unit over to sew it on the quilt. When you're sewing the binding unit onto the back of the quilt, it matters. You need to have the binding side facing down and the flange side up. If I misunderstood you question, please email me [e-mail] TFW!

The quilt you think the flange didn't work was because of the color you chose, not the flange. The red and blue are too close in value and hue, contrastis needed. That light border repeated would have worked great.

You say FAKE flange binding but this is the only type I have seen. What is Real flange binding? BTW Google didn't tell me. Just more of the same

[@sisterchicksquilting]

@rhondawaldron fake or faux flange binding mimics piping with the cording inside it. According to the research I did, that is what makes it “faux” or fake. I used the word fake because it’s more of an attention grabber. A real flange binding has a small cording inside and is a separate piece from the binding. At least in my experience. It got us talking, right 😳? I hope this helps, if you want but to discuss more, please email me. TFW😊♥️🐥
