[@merrymabelmarket]

Here is our full demo for more helpful tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ_NlKN_r5mrndE

[@mjp5129]

I have watched this so many times and have used it perfectly once, but I hadn’t quilted in a long bit. I got bored and made a bunch of bags or purses. So, I got back in the mood watching yours and other quilting videos. I’m a lazy quilter, so it took me a couple weeks to make a simple trip around the world lap quilt. Lazy. Lol. I just get bored really fast. So, I’ve finished it and put the binding on. I thought I remembered your method. Well it turned out all twisty. So had to use Jack the Ripper…lol. I tried this 3 times. Still twisted. So I watched your video again. Three times to be sure and while I was doing it. It worked first try. So, thank you again. I had to walk away a couple times. The quilt was in danger of becoming the dogs blanket. You saved my quilt. 🫶🏻

I love this demo. It works like a charm. No more twisted binding mistakes!!! I’m probably responsible for 750 views cuz I pull it up every time I bind a project!!! Thank You.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Glad it is helpful!

[@RosemaryN]

I do that too ! Waiting for muscle memory on this fantastic method lol!

[@lindapucillo3493]

You make so much sense with this method. So often I connect them the wrong way or sew them the wrong way. So very frustrating. This method is brilliant. Thank you.

[@heathersarbo271]

Was so so happy you mentioned not to cut until you check!!!! I’ve been quilting for years and I STILL make that mistake every now and then. TY

[@karryweaver6540]

I wish I could hug your neck. I have watched a dozen videos on connecting my strips. My ends always end up twisted and a mess. You dumbed it down wonderfully. I'm so grateful. Thank you.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Hug accepted!

@@merrymabelmarket…Me too! Me too! Lol

[@murielglaphre8946]

I don't know how you figured out that technique but you're a GENIUS!! How is that perfect? It just is. Amazing!

[@IAmJustOneMom]

Sharon Schamber taught this fab binding technique long before her 2011 youtube tutorial. 1/4” gap is better, fyi. Leave 10” of binding unsewn on each end, to allow for opening, overlaying, and stitching.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Glad you have a method that works.

[@marygallagher9996]

I am so directionally challenged! Your tutorial is perfection for me. I want you to know that I’ve been quilting for years and this is the best tutorial so far! 👏👏👍 Thank you.

[@marylamm4254]

I've never seen 1\8" gap before. Thank you!

[@CraftyandChic]

Perfect! My mom taught me this YEARS ago. Just don't cut til you check!

[@KgaboChueu]

Good work ❤

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I tried this and I always ended up with a twist in my binding….God I hate being so stupid…..

[@annremling9735]

I use 1/4 " and longer tails.. dont cut off till sewn.. figured it out years ago.. I do pin and mark because my quilts are big

[@emarie7591]

I agree. The most brilliant I’ve seen. Thank you🎉🎉🎉

[@christinekirkpatrick5400]

I agree with you!!

[@searulersays]

The full video "Bind like a Boss" caught my eye and has changed my quilting life!!!!! Thank you so much for demonstrating this! I am forever grateful! ❤️🙏🏻 Now every time I bind, I hear your voice in my head 🥰

[@merrymabelmarket]

I am so glad that our video has been helpful to you! Thank you for sharing.

This was the EASIEST binding video I have ever found! It really works and I actually got it right the first time !!! Thank you so much for sharing this great tutorial!!

I have struggled with bindings for YEARS, and it’s always an awful feeling when you’re happy with the quilt and then wind up with a wonky binding, I am saving this video! Thank you for making it approachable!!

[@merrymabelmarket]

You can do it!

[@merrymabelmarket]

We have a full version if you need to watch it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ_NlKN_r5mrndE

[@SewSmart-wd3dt]

This is so great! Finally a straightforward way to handle lengths of bias tape, too. Thank you!

[@lap8329]

Great to see that old technique demonstrated so clearly. It can be very hard to follow and understand when it’s poorly demonstrated. And for anyone who wonders why do they want to use this method - it makes a very smooth join because the bulk of the folded fabric is spread over wider area instead of all being bulked in the same place if you just stitched them directly across

[@zm7830]

That's the experience you're talking about 👏🏻

[@ksharpe8137]

Oh, my word! Where have you been all my quilting life? I’ve been quilting for over 10 years and I’ve tried many many ways to join the ends of my binding and never had much luck. But I followed your directions and it turned out perfect the first time!!! I’m in total awe!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!

[@merrymabelmarket]

You are SO welcome!

[@claradockery1072]

What a great helpful tip. I only wish I had known this little helpful tip years ago when I did a lot of sewing for other people. It would have made life much easier 😊. Thank you for sharing your video with us. Be Blessed, Safe and Healthy, Grandma from Florida 🇺🇸

[@denihand9739]

An Einstein moment, I need to try this. Thank you.

[@lindawasko9622]

My quilts are usually twin size throws, but I struggle with the binding. I get so excited when it works. I followed your video today...watch, pause, do it, watch more, pause, do that. When it turned the right way and fit perfectly, I jumped out of my chair with a loud YES!!!!! Thank you so much for this video. ❤

[@merrymabelmarket]

I am SO TOTALLY glad!!!

[@showmegalusa4521]

I was taught this method in 2002. Still use it and love it. Always works.

[@MagMitch]

This is the 3rd video on quilt binding I found. First two involved binding rulers. I gave up, then found this video. So easy, it’s brilliant. I even remembered how to do it without watching the video a million times. 👍🏻👍🏻🌟

[@merrymabelmarket]

Wonderful!

[@annshepard795]

Gonna have to try this method of finishing binding as it looks easier than ANY other method I have ever seen a demo of!! Thanks!!!

[@marialeal5090]

Awesome. So easy. I always have to redo the end because one side is usually turned the wrong way. Thank you. ❤️

[@jamesanderson83]

Wow perfect and so easy. Thanks so much for sharing with all of us. I am going to try this method.

[@sharonflemming3026]

I’ve been doing my binding like this for years! Works great every time. I do pin however but not where I’m sewing. I also sew the binding to the back, press the seam on top flat with back so it’s going towards the turn towards the front, then using clips clip the binding to the front. I machine stitch along the edge on the front. I do get a line of stitches on the back so I use bobbin thread that matches my backing. My quilts are made for use for family and friends not competition so I’m happy with this method. I have arthritis in my hands a bit so this works well.
