Machine Quilt Binding Cody’s way

Check out the new merchandise store to help support the channel.

I’ve been asked for many years how I do my binding So I finally got around to making a video on how I do it. From start to finish. If you are familiar with creating the quilt binding you can skip ahead and just see how I sew it on. Or just watch the entire video and hopefully I’ll teach you some tips and tricks. Enjoy.

[@carolsmith4678]

ALLCody’s demos are absolutely fantastic. NEVER watch anyone else’s now. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@maryannevanoff4464]

To the best sewing Guru. Love this binding tutorial. This 73 year old thanks you!

[@Boldlyquilting]

Your technique for measuring and placing the two ends of the binding is brilliant. I appreciate your channel very much.

[@larryherndon8350]

I wish I would have watched this at the beginning of my quilting hobby! For the first time, I’m excited to bind my next quilt!! Excellent video!!

[@joannecava2418]

I LOVE the colors and pattern in this quilt! Can you help me find the pattern and the fabric ??????? So cheerful

[@pamelamatthews7976]

You are a master Cody! Thank you for carefully and SLOWLY showing how to twist the fabric while finishing the quilt binding strip!! You are a FABULOUS teacher! I love your videos and have learned so much! Keep them comin!!! A big fan!!

[@gracindabueno7256]

Me too!! Thank you very much Cody! :)

[@wam0357]

youre the first one that said, I think we cant show this too much ! i appreciate your details snd the fact ypu arent afraid to admit you pin stuff before you sew. i get frustrated with other tutorials.

[@linzjan4276]

Absolutely the best binding video I have seen.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Yay! Thank you!

[@lynneklipsch4068]

What a wonderful way to do machine binding. Thank you for your demonstration.

[@pamelahelgesen5011]

You literally just blew my mind and I’ve been quilting for 30 years

[@karenwalschott3540]

You do an AMAZING job at explaining how to do binding. Great Job!

[@shulamussnug7120]

Excellent demonstration of binding. You give such detailed description of each idea or step. It is very helpful. Thanks

[@carmenmaldonado6486]

I love the way you teach. Thank you ❤❤️

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Thank you for watching. I am so happy you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. I enjoy teaching 😊

[@teresadillon1198]

Cody, I love this video. It is my go to reference for binding a quilt. And it’s available at 4 in the morning when I can’t sleep and the Bernina is calling! Thank you Thank you!

[@maggiegordon6551]

I can only reiterate what Mary has said below in her comment. Cody's detailed tutorial is excellent and I cannot wait to bind my next quilt using the processes shown. Thank you Cody!

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

I hope this technique works for you. For me it makes binding go so quick and isn’t something I dread doing.

[@maggiegordon6551]

@@sewingwithcodyandpete8651 So glad I came across you on KZbin 🤗. I’ve subscribed and look forward to watching many more tutorials especially those relating to Bernina as I have a 770QE model. I’m based across the pond in England.

[@notesfromleisa-land]

Decobob is my go to thread for piecing (and attaching binding!)

[@michaelcrane1215]

great, great explanation. i like your technique a lot!

[@kimberlystahl1746]

BEAUTIFUL QUILT AND GREAT TIPS! ESPECIALLY THE JOINING OF THE STRIPS, PREPPING THE CORNERS, IRONING TWICE AND CHANGING THE FOOT.

[@vivaldi1948]

Great tutorial. Thank you so much for posting.

[@marycreed-pallone9732]

I have watched many videos on how to do bindings and this one is absolutely the best! Cody covers every step in the process clearly and with great detail. I never thought of pressing the binding twice, and the instruction on how to work with the corners should solve my lumpy corner problem. I have the same machine and can’t wait to follow the recommendations on stitch and feet! If you want to machine bind this is a MUST watch!

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Thank you for your glowing review!!! 🥰🥰🥰. Yes pressing the binding twice was a big game changer for me when I did it the first time. I hope it works out amazing for you too. Thank you again for your kind comment 🥰.

[@alisoncurrie1438]

Totally agree with you. Thanks Cody.

[@christophernejman]

Love your fur babies!

[@amywarnick4393]

11:40 02/27/23: I am a newer quilter and binding is not my favorite. However, you taught my things I did not know and am not afraid to hit it head first. You are a great teacher. Thank you!

[@patcohen2463]

What a wonderful video! I have just taken up quilting again, now that I am retired. I have watched many on doing the dreaded binding, but yours is amazing. I am waiting on a quilt to come back from the long arm person and I can't wait to try all your tips. Thank you for going into such detail and explaining everything is several different ways so that any person can follow along.

[@brendaweaver8618]

Thank you Cody that was a great video. Very good detail. Will refer back to it often

[@randiortega8901]

Now I have to buy another foot for my sewing machine! 😂 Very nice tutorial!

[@jeffreylee7040]

Came across this. Wow!!! I need a Bernina But they cost so much. Five grand. Excellent video. I have issues with binding and this is an excellent one!!! I’ll practice tomorrow with the scraps Thank you Cody and Pete

[@ritasokol646]

This is a GREAT tutorial! And I love the Invisifil and decobob threads as well! Your slow, precise and clear instructions are so helpful and very much appreciated! Please keep these educational and inspirational videos coming! Love them all!

[@vickirobles3406]

Excellent video on binding! I especially love your part that explains how to meet the ends up! TY, TY, TY so very much!

[@maryallen3127]

Excellent and detailed! Cody answered many of my questions!

[@pilkjaer]

What a great video! I wish i could attend one of your courses.

[@WestlakeThymes1]

One of the best videos I’ve for machine binding. It’s perfect!

[@sherrywilliams1131]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.. the quilt is gorgeous!! Its so happy and cheerful.

[@dottiemathews6853]

that blanket stich looks good!

[@nsalshamsi]

I don’t know why I never came across your video when I was searching on machine quilt binding. I am soooooooo happy that I did. Yours is the best one I have ever seen. Excellent tutorial and valuable tips.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Thank You I am so happy you truly enjoy the video. :)

[@tigerlily9051]

Excellent video, and your attention to details, fabulous finish look!

[@sharonbarker7159]

Another great video! Been learning a lot about my Bernina that I never knew 🤦🏻 Glad a found you on KZbin 🥰

[@annethevenot461]

Great technique. Thanks.

Thank You!! :)

[@dianabarker3815]

Great tutorial on binding. Thank you!

[@patriciaperez5815]

Hello Cody - once again you taught an “old dog” some new tricks! :) Just great! Thank you so much.

[@candycottrell6469]

This is a great tutorial! Your instructions were easy to understand and see in progress. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to do machine quilt binding, great method!

[@JoAnnBeacham-f7g]

You saved me today as I was struggling with connecting my quilt binding. Thank you for such a direct and concise explanation and video. You're my go-to forever! Happy New Year!

[@malusantos1551]

Thank you Cody for such a brilliant lesson. You are the best! ❤

[@sherrypace8980]

I love this video! The house, the animals, and the technique. Some of my quilting friends insist on hand sewing the binding - no way is what I say…once again you hit it out of the park. BTW, I know you know about the button foot to sew those by machine as well 😉

[@nancymiller349]

Omg! Where have you been all my life? LOL. I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos. I've done plenty of binding but I'm working on a particular fabric that has some stretch to it so I started looking at binding videos and found you. I can't wait to see all your other videos.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Glad you found the video. 😀. I hope it works out for you 😊.

[@mightymouse2098]

I am trying to create an easier way to do binding. I have tried it on a couple place mats and it is perfect. Will share when I try it on a quilt and if it will work as well.

[@spw2822]

Thank you so much for your video! I have searched high and low for guidance on how to attach a binding with no luck. This video nailed it and it will become my go to video in the future. I’ve subscribed to your You Tube and channel look forward to more expert advice!

[@barbaracarter5724]

Thanks for showing us Louise and Gumbo! They are sweet. I will try using 2 1/8 binding. Thanks for showing us..

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

🥰🥰. They are a mess 🐐. Hopefully you’ll be able to implement this method into your next quilt.

[@gigiontube]

Great job Cody ! Love your work and your detailed explanation 👍 You are very talented.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Glad I can share and help 😀😀😀

[@marilynrn711]

I added this to my saved binding videos as this explains very well how to connect those two binding ends as I always get confused with that. Thanks Cody.

[@loriannpayne4483]

Love, Love, LOVE this video Cody! There were a couple of little tricks I didn’t know. Well done…

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

I am very happy you are loving the videos. :) Thank you for watching.

[@colleenkissel4879]

Thanks! Just picked up my first 2 quilts from your shop; and this video is perfect to finish them off

[@mybestofutube]

Best video I've ever seen on binding. You break it down so well. I used this method on a quilt and it turned out PERFECT! I'm back to watch it again for a new quilt. Thanks so much, Cody!!

[@ughettaparenti]

Awesome 🎉 and a gorgeous quilt!!

[@evelynfrench804]

I like your binding join at the end sewing technique. Thank you.

[@littlequiltsandcraftslittl4013]

Thank you for this video - somehow I always thought binding had to be cut on the bias! But I will try this method next time!

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Glad you enjoyed the video hopefully this method is helpful to you. ☺️

[@paddyanne2024]

love listening to your voice, thanks for the tips!

[@angelacannuli7194]

Cody, that was the best demonstration of how to attach binding I have seen, Love all your videos so much. Keep up the great work.

[@sandan2358]

2 1/8” makes me nervous since I’ve always cut mine at 2.5”. I’ve also always sewn binding on the back side then turn binding over to the front to finish sewing it on. I’m willing to give this a try.

[@anitajacobsen7637]

Thanks Cody this helped so much!!!

[@patriciawalton5897]

Love this I agree I sew my binding on with machine because it is so easy. I am still waiting for my new 570 an learning so much from you.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

It going to be worth the wait. The 570 is such a wonderful machine.

[@maxieone7358]

I’m from South Louisiana too. Live in Florida now. From New Iberia area. I miss the food! Thanks for the great videos:)

[@annphelan3342]

Cody, thank you for this great machine binding video. Could you please show us your sewing machine table/cabinet?

[@teresadillon1198]

Cody, this was THE BEST tutorial for putting on binding that I’ve seen! I have several take aways from it! Saving this one to my favorites!

[@tatyanasurenyan-krech6372]

This was a great video. I’ll have to try this on a sample piece .

[@Pip7-px3wq]

Cody’s way of machine binding is definitely my way now, absolutely brilliant 🤩💃🏻🦋🥳🐞 I just finished binding my first quilt and I was blown away by how perfect your instructions were. I’m saving this tutorial for future use so that I can refer to it each time I do a quilt. Thank you for your time and effort Cody 😃 PS I used 2 1/4” binding as the backing is minky 👌

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

So happy to hear you love it no agree with minky a little wider binding helps

[@kathykaplan497]

That quilt is beautiful !!!

[@juanitabridges6808]

I know this an older video but this is an excellent tutorial. I want a larger Bernina now seeing you put on binding without a walking foot. I’ve been debating dual feed 9mm vs 5mm models.

[@Donnazc]

Cody, You’ve done it again! This is the BEST yet. Great binding instruction and tips! Thank you, again!

[@victoriakarpinski3959]

Thank you so much for the thoroughness of your tutorial. I like others have watched numerous videos on this technique and I learned the most from your clear explanations. I’m going to check out your other videos and learn more about my Bernina, (B590)

[@angelagreene7920]

Thank you for this very thorough video on machine binding. One of the best tutorials on this topic I have seen and one I finally really understand on joining the ends. Thank you very much!!

I am so happy to hear that my videos are helping you and so many others. This is why I make them. If you have any questions jut let me know. :)

This was so helpful! Thank you.

[@brettster3331]

Great video Cody, this is so well done and explained so it is understandable. I so appreciate your videos.

[@birgittdom4042]

This tutorial is really fantastic! I did my first all machine binding with your help and it turned out great. I didn't trust myself and cut the binding strips 2 1/4 but 2 1/8 is in fact enough. ;). Since I do not (yet) own the foot you recommend I used the 1D foot and it worked well since it has a notch in the middle that I used as a guide. Thank you so much for your Bernina Tutorials. I learned a lot about my 770 QE. Greetings from Germany - Birgitt

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

[@jillmeads3794]

Hi Cody, I loved watching this method of binding. I’m curious to know your thoughts on the binder attachment (#88) that works with the #95c? Foot Your thoughts would be appreciated

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Hi Jill. I’ve worked with the binder attachment a number times over the years and it’s one of those attachments that require quite a bit of practice to master. Personally i don’t enjoy working with it. However if I made things that required a lot of small bindings like it creates I probably would try and spend more time practicing to master it but I don’t. To sum it up I always tell my customer up front who want it, that it takes a lot of practice to get the look you want. Hope this helps.

[@jillmeads3794]

@@sewingwithcodyandpete8651 thank you for your reply, I’m certainly not one to practice a lot, so it probably isn’t for me, especially given the cost of the attachment. I look forward to seeing more of your tutorials.
