HOW TO BIND A QUILT - BINDING HACK TO YOU NEED TO HAVE

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Happy Friday...what a week. There are lot of ways to make binding. But before I talk about them, we need to know the basics. If you haven't made yourself a 3-in-1 tool yet, you'll save yourself a lot of headache if you do. Enjoy.

[@trac6009]

Lol I get so stressed and my neck disappears, I've been clenching my jaw and grinding my teeth...and I laugh and grab a tea, take a break and a breath, and remind myself that it's my first quilt for one of our kiddos! They love it already and it'll be warm usable and washable lol !

[@cordulawiersig39]

Thank you for another wonderful video! You are an inspiration!!

[@koalamaster101]

I've used mine for a couple quilts and smaller projects. I LOVE it! Thanks so much.

[@Rhodeygirl]

What is a quilter's knot? How do I sew the binding down on the back? Do I just sew along the edge (parallel to the edge) or should I sew X's, or perpendicular? What keeps the binding down the best?

[@musicmom614]

Just made mine. Looking forward to using it. Your video made so much sense. I especially like the reason for not pressing your binding in half. I have done that and wondered why I struggled so. I have been quilting for 26years. Love your tips and your channel. Thanks Karen

[@cmichell]

I wanted you to know that this is the ONLY video I could wrap my brain around. I have tried and tried to learn this method, but I don't see things the way others do. It always looks backwards to me. So, tonight, I stopped and worked frame-by-frame and it WORKED. OMG I am beyond relieved. I'm working on a special gift and just had to have it perfect. THANK YOU from the bottom of my still learning heart.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Congratulations 👏👏👏

[@ravensmokedancer8242]

Ok....First let me just say....Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am so glad you did this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Karen THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok...now I have my tea and I am going to watch....i am so excited!!!!!!! Binding is MY nemesis!!!!!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

So glad 🤗

[@kschallert3569]

Hands down, BEST binding video on the internet, or in the entire world for that matter! And this is why I stick with you Karen, to just get it done, and done right!!! Thank you for all you do!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

🤗🤗🤗

[@littleolivefox]

You're telling me that for a whole 3 quilts I could've just TUCKED THE BINDING?! Thank you for showing this, as well as why a walking foot is so important! I can't wait to make my next quilt!

[@sherib4709]

This is the best binding video I have seen. I will be making a 3 in one tool right away. Brilliant.

[@joannedifrancesco4555]

Thank you for this video! I love the first option where you tucked the tail in to the starting piece. I have been struggling with the fiddly way and get a knot in my stomach every time I have to cut the binding lol. I am a new pandemic quilter and have learned everything from KZbin and generous teachers like you. You have made it possible for me to turn isolation into beauty and creativity. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@paulinechapman5669]

AMEN..🇨🇦

[@krisgessner493]

Finally! A great explanation- especially in how to lay the fabric out, so it does not twist.

[@SandraDayman]

Karen you are such a wonderful teacher Thankyou for your easy to follow instructions

[@mariod7473]

Thank you Karen, this is the clearest video yet on binding. I find the fear of binding is leaving me!!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

You can do it!

[@reneeanne2918]

Hello Karen. Just to let you know that I am already watching you from my home sweet home. New hip on monday afternoon and back home on wednesday morning. The operation went well now it's healing and hand quilting time. Thanks for your kind thoughts and Love from France !

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Glad all went well...especially now

[@ksharpe8137]

You taught this Quilting Grandma some things today!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Glad to hear

[@Kate98755]

❤️the quilt will still be warm and cuddly, life is imperfect. great timing, i have two quilts to bind today

[@polyesterbebe]

i'm so close to getting the courage to try my 1st quilt because of your channel

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

You’re almost there....you can do it

[@sarahl6093]

Just finished my first quilt after watching nearly all your videos. Thank you for your inspirational videos and these very clear practical video too.

[@pamspradley7392]

Watch this video each time I’m binding a quilt! Thank you for such clear directions and video!

[@lwest5686]

I just gave this a super enthusiastic 'like'. The stress of bindings and corners has melted away. THANK YOU!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

So glad it helps

[@TheSchkings]

I've played and backed up and replayed this video to finish binding my first quilt! THANK YOU so much for good, clear instructions! And I made myself a 3-in-1 tool before I even started binding -- it was so useful.

[@sandrawithey7491]

Binding at its easiest to understand. Holy moly at last an easier way at last. Thank you!

[@ecoquilting7077]

What a great point about not pressing the strip in half!

[@kimzsewing3917]

Thank you for saying do not press your binding in half . I have not been pressing mine for years and teaching this for years too...... it definitely gives you less hassles. thank you for another great video.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you

[@mamahenderson845]

You have an engineer’s mind!!!! You have such a clear mindset in figuring out an improved method of quilting techniques! I love your method of binding for the first example. Tucking in the tail is just BRILLIANT!!! Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@lisareed5669]

YES! I think that's what I like. The engineering! What works and how!

[@pamelaforsberg]

Thanks for the video. I have had that tool for years and never knew how to use it. Thanks so much.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Glad to help

[@dianejobe8089]

You have inspired me to start quilting. I have learned so much from you! Now I need to claim a space and get started....

[@luannschomel2642]

do it Diane ! It's really alot of Fun.. and Karen has lots of Tutorials ! Good Luck !!

[@Tamaraniac]

I come back to this video every time I finish a quilt and need to bind. I know how at this point, but it’s good to have that reminder!

[@TheQuiltingfun]

Sooooooo good!!!! Thks a lot!!!! Love love love learning from you! Have a wonderful weekend! Martina

[@mikedelanoit6249]

You are a Godsend! So clear and concise! I'm a guy who loves to quilt and all your videos are so helpful! Thank you!

[@debcoberly522]

Thanks for a simplified version of making bindings.

[@carlafaubert1586]

Blown away once again! Don't press in half...what?!! Life changing! 😊 Thank you Karen! ❤ For getting beautifully sharp corners, when the needle is 1/4" shy of a corner, i stop with the needle down, then turn and stitch off the quilt at a 45 degree angle towards the corner. Works great!

[@lexitejeda6209]

I do that too! Also, I don't cut my thread there. I leave it attached and trim off later if needed.

[@kjmav10135]

That is a GREAT idea! Thanks!

[@kathylee4485]

Best demonstration about joining final ends of binding. Especially how to put the right sides together

[@mmbuck46]

Loved your tip about not ironing binding.

[@blacksquirrelquilts]

This is by far one of the BEST videos on binding. It works! And it's simple. THANK YOU.

[@loiswood3363]

I wish I could put another 'Like' on this video for every time I use it to bind another quilt! Thank you again, my motto is 'Make a Start'. Getting even a little bit done gives me some forward momentum and encouragement when I am stuck. Thanks to you for this 'frame of mind'.

[@jaynecallsmevera2321]

Karen, you are simply wonderful! I'm just finishing my first quilt and every time I doubt myself, I watch one of your videos and feel encouraged again. Thank you!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

It is a marathon...just a few more steps

[@lisahall9226]

Easiest binding video out there. Thank you for simplifying.

[@sherristauffer332]

Mike drop! I have got to try the first method for joining the ends of my binding. The other day I literally sewed & ripped out the join a half dozen times. And I never knew you could start sewing at the edge when beginning again at the corner. Old dog here is gonna try some new tricks! Thank you, Karen!!!

[@stackerofrocks]

I love this woman.

[@jodirauth8847]

Greatest binding video ever

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

😊

[@nicolanewington1798]

Thanks Karen. You're a lifesaver. That trick for joining the ends of the binding together worked a treat!

[@evelynfrench804]

Thank you Karen. Great video.

[@cathymorin9985]

The clearest instruction I have seen in print or video on the final closure. Thank you. I have bookmarked this one!

[@normabirch2235]

First and foremost, thank you!! Since I started using your binding method, my bindings are now more attractive and my binding corners are now sharp and precise. Not pressing the binding strip is the way to go! That’s how I ha s been finishing my quilts since I saw your video. Thanks ever so much. Truly appreciated.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Excellent

[@susan3235]

@@JustGetitDoneQuilts Oh I noi two years have past - and what two years they've been -but i've just found you and I can't find the instructions for the 3 in 1 tool anywhere HEEEEEl please

[@seankayoden4001]

Thanks. I have been quilting since the 1970's and you keep teaching me new details to conquer problems.

[@carols8090]

Thank you for being clear! Very well done. And where has this quilters' knot been my entire sewing life!?!?!?!

[@carolyncampbell6149]

Thankyou for a great video on my least favourite part of quilting! Definitely be making that tool.

[@TheJAG1357]

Such an excellent video. Your visuals are so helpful. Thank you so very much. Best binding video demonstration ever.

[@lindawilson3770]

Thanks for the tip on getting those sharp corners!

[@marlamiller2865]

Thank you for showing how to finish putting on the binding with the sewn 45 degree joining. I have tried on 2 different quilts and just ended up doing a straight seam. This is the first video that I have found that shows EXACTLY how to flip the strips so that it comes out not twisted.

[@louiseroetman4859]

I finally perfected the fussy method of joining the binding, using your video! Thank you!!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

👍

[@barbmckinlay3400]

That was just an excellent tutorial. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sewn the joining seam wrong on the binding.

[@sherrytolbird7983]

Thank you! You made me a quilter with your videos

[@ellecross99]

I just have to say that I am SO thrilled to have found your videos. I am extremely grateful for them- you are an excellent teacher and as a beginner, I have learned so many new tips & techniques. I get turned off by so many other tutorial videos because they also include too much irrelevant babbling! Your videos are straight to the point & have precise, clear instructions. Keep them coming!!

[@kathy_funk]

I agree! Karen Brown doesn’t waste our time on things that don’t matter. I truly appreciate that succinctness!

[@melissabeasley2884]

It’s not that I couldn’t bind...it’s that it was my best guess on how to do it. It was inconsistent; sometimes great and sometimes a disaster. A cozy disaster. Thanks for sharing your method Karen!

[@cherylwhitney3118]

Wow! You just took the dread out of this step! Thank you!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Soon you’ll wonder why it was so daunting

[@audiclinton4385]

Wow I love this way for the binding. Thank you!!

[@nancyarmstrong5048]

I love your 3-in-1 tool idea because I've struggled getting my quilt binding corners to look perfect. Your hints are simple and straightforward-thank you

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

It’s a valuable tool. I’ve used mine everyday this week

[@sr69511]

Oh my!!!! I think your tips for putting on binding is the best one I’ve seen! I will do these tips on my next quilt and let you know!!

[@joanmacleod1362]

Oh my goodness ! What a terrific, tip filled video. Thank you

[@drleonesse]

Here I am...late to the party! Thank you so much. These tips have really helped me...better corners and an easier binding application.

[@debramckasson3020]

How appropriate that this video was uploaded today. I'm trying to bind 2 quilts. Thank you so much 💓.

[@RobinSampsonMcCarthy]

As usual, you made me happy, Karen. You and Jenny are my go-to girls. Thank you so much.

[@beverleyhasler1521]

Hello Karen from Sydney, Australia. It’s been a beautiful day here and it’s 2pm. Just finished watching another great video. I prefer your second method of joining at the end. Keep well Karen and keep your videos coming💐

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I prefer the second but I don’t always have the time

[@juliaogara8794]

You we're a life saver, so to speak, as your reminder about quilt label stopped me forgetting for a third time. This time, I will not be reverse stitching a corner to insert my label. Brilliant tutorial, thank you😀

[@archurama]

I am so glad I found your video. Your instructions are so clear. Binding a quilt has always been such a nightmare for me.

[@brownsuga7461]

Hello, Beautiful you're a life saver and you've encouraged, taught , and let me the real beginner quilter know it's okay I love all your videos I've just have to get with it. Blessings & Grace be with you and your family
