This is the absolute BEST method for binding.

[@marlenejones6266]

Ohh my gosh. The least stressful video i have ever watched. Your calming voice with the simple procedure to replace long sewing binding is such a God send to me. Im 74. I try to learn things. But binding was going to bring me down. Now i can make my little wall hangings so easily. THANK YOU

Thank you for your comment! Lorena

[@Jane-fq6uz]

Lorena what a useful technique. I am making fidget blankets for patients with dementia. This will save me so much time and mean that I can make more. Thank you for such an excellent and clear tutorial. Hope you'll do many more.

[@Retired_Teacher]

Absolutely the best binding video out there. Thank you!

[@janhunt5978]

Love it! No tails (ends) to join! Thank you for such a clear “how to” tutorial. From now on, my quilts won’t have a sad looking binding.

[@ToniNov25]

Cathy Milson I hope you like it and it works for you!

[@katherinecasanova8329]

I have been looking at tutorials for binding and this is the only one that made sense. Thanks so much, can't wait to try it.

[@gbyrd1970]

Amazing! I'm almost done with my very first quilt top, and now I know just how I'll bind it!!

[@alpharoughneck8619]

Thank you so much for this!!! A super fast, yet Very professional looking (end result) thanks to your NEW technique. I am new to quilting and I have made 4 quilt tops but have been so intimidated on doing the bindings for them --- that I kept putting it off. I'm trying this for sure. :-) Alpha

[@ToniNov25]

AlphaRoughneck Binding is not my favorite. I hope this really works out for you!

[@thoughtfullysewn7456]

Lorena - this is brilliant! I just tried this technique on a quilted placemat, and it was so much easier than sewing a binding. It came out just as you described. Perfect mitered corners. Thank you again for sharing your technique with us. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

[@ToniNov25]

ThoughtfullySewn by Kathleen Thank you so much! I’m so excited it worked for you!

[@jdmarr2259]

Thank you!!! I've just made my first quilt in 30 years & have been avoiding the binding... for months. This is an amazing idea & so much easier!!!

[@beaniegreen4849]

Incredible! Amazing!! And it looks fantastic too. Thank you for this great hint.

[@ToniNov25]

[@elizabethcervantes3957]

I love this, I can't wait to try it. I'm a beginner so this is perfect for me👌🏼. Thank you!!😃

[@ToniNov25]

Elizabeth Cervantes I really do hope this works for you! I also have this technique done on a large quilt!

[@valbowie6524]

Lorena, thank you so much for your very informative j"Quilt Binding Without Binding", I have learnt a lot and will give it a go with some new place mats that I need.

[@ToniNov25]

Val Bowie thank you for your comment!!! I'm excited that your going to try this technique out!

[@Cindy-re1cc]

Thank you for a quick reply. I just finished a quilt and I’m gonna do it this way.💕 binding has always been a pain, but now, it will be better. Thank you.

[@trijbijop]

thank you so much for posting! I am new to quilting and trying to finish off my first quilt, and the whole binding strip thing was absolutely intimidating!

[@ToniNov25]

me too.. love this way of binding.

[@heyBrownBerry]

This is incredible. First time that I’ve felt like I finally have all the learning I need to complete a block or a quilt. Thank you so much, Lorena. Great light, perfect demo angles and enough repetition to make this feel doable 👏🏾👏🏾

[@varvarabondarenko9602]

Thank you so much! I'm a beginner quilter and I don't want to deal with the binding just yet. This is perfect!

[@ToniNov25]

I am old quilter and still don't like binding. I love when i figured this out.

[@becka225]

This technique literally just saved me hours! I used the binding strips method on my last quilt and it was difficult and disheartening, but this method makes my quilt look beautiful and professional. THANK YOU!

[@dustydiamond6799]

This has become my favorite method for placemats, table runners, wall hanging, even special cards. So easy. Very well done. Thank you.

[@BeSimplySusan]

this is awesome! I'm so bummed I JUST trimmed and squared up a quilt I'm working on! haha now I wish I hadn't! But my next quilt I will try this method! Thank you.

[@ToniNov25]

You will love it! I appreciate you watching!!

[@codeslinger8]

Thank you soooo much for your great tutorial. Using your directions, I finished a quilt that I started before You Tube existed because I just couldn't figure out how to mitre those corners with my backing fabric.

[@ToniNov25]

codeslinger8 I’m so glad you like the video and thank you for your comment!

[@shezcal]

Fantastic tutorial, thank you. I do a similar technique when adding linings to bags. I don't bind I just use pull up the lining by half inch and top stitch to give a nice edging to the outer bag fabric.

[@superferiorfilms]

Finally an easy finishing tutorial that I can actually follow and grasp. Thank you!

[@paintlady5188]

My mother used to do it this way every now and then, I've done it my self a time or two. But haven't tried it on large quilts. Baby quilts or lap quilts. This would also be good if your making a quilted wall hanging also.

[@ArtemisPen]

Thank you for making this so easy! I have been paranoid about making mitred corners. I love this technique. :)

[@ToniNov25]

+Aspasia Baker I really hope you try it out. I also have a tutorial on how to do this technique on a large quilt. Lorenakzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpyoYmWYlsqDj8U

[@ArtemisPen]

+Lorena's Quilting Perfect! I just made the top strips of blocks and I need to sew them together and then I'll buy enough backing to use your method. Good job. Thank you.

[@ToniNov25]

+Aspasia Baker That is awesome! Let me know how you like it! Lorena

[@ToniNov25]

SallyO716 You make me happy!,, thank you for your comment!

[@sharond6703]

Love this video. Made it very clear and easy to understand.

[@ToniNov25]

Thank you for watching! Lorena

[@Uquityabtchn]

Lorena, I have just finished one of the quilts intended as Christmas gifts this year, and am now relaxing for the evening. I wanted to thank you for posting your video, this method is so much easier than, making yards and yards of binding, then _fingers crossed_ joining up the two ends. Since I only have 2 days out of the week that I can do my quilting, this is a time saver as well. Thanks again, p.s. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year.

[@thoughtsofjoyk]

It’s 5 years later (during the Coronavirus pandemic), and I’m so happy to have discovered this! I love it! It’s brilliant!!! 🤩 I will try it out soon! Thank you for sharing it! 👍

[@ToniNov25]

Thank you so much !

[@cloud9lingerieboutique132]

Great idea...never thought about using glue before. Thanks!

[@stephaniemiller8229]

Why doesn’t EVERYONE bind like this?! It makes perfect sense. Thanks very much!😊

[@ToniNov25]

I think they are used to the other way! I’m to busy to spend time on binding so I figured this out!

[@ToniNov25]

Julia Hynes I haven't tried it on flannel backing. I do think it should work the same. I recommend that you give your self a little bit more room like 1 1/4 when your cutting the outside back fabric. I think flannel is a little bit thicker to fold over and maybe an extra 1/4 or 1/8 would give you more space to fold you fabric over. I will try to find some flannel and try it on a little swatch and let you know but I do think that thicker fabrics will just need a little bit more fabric on the back to fold over nicely than the 1 inch on regular cotton fabric.

[@carolgrosz4359]

I leave a 2 inch border with flannel. It makes a one inch binding which is better. I have also left a 3 inch border with flannel for the best binding for the thickness of flannel front and back. That makes a 1.5 inch binding. I liked the tutorial very much.

[@janisfraser6720]

works just as well with flannel backing...i did it about a month ago

[@estellestone5322]

I LOVE making blankets/quilts and have made quite a few. I STILL can't get the binding quite right. After seeing this, I think I can easily finish them off. This is GENIUS! Thank you a million times over for this. Now I can breeze through them.

[@ToniNov25]

Yes you will save 2 hours doing it this way.. thank for your wonderful comment!

[@lance3665]

I love this technique. I have watched several times and I used it more than once. You did a great job explaining and demonstrating. Thank you once again.

[@miasiaosbey9722]

2 WORDS: LIFE CHANGING Lorena, I was hollaring watching this! You have changed the game. I could NOT stop yelling at the screen. You took me to church with video. Thanks for sharing this technique. All of that binding nonsense stressed me out so bad as a beginner quilter. Thanks for your common sense and clear teaching. Thank you!

[@ToniNov25]

Oh thank you!

[@slowlifedreams]

You ma'am, are brilliant. I am a beginner in sewing and watched several tutorials on how to make a border around my a quilt I'm about to do and yours is by far the best technique. Great job!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@ToniNov25]

Thank you so much.. I really appreciate it.

[@lindahealy8336]

This is the most useful tutorial I've ever found on KZbin. I recently started quilting, but haven't mastered binding yet. The way you've explained this simple technique is amazing. Thank you!

[@michellechristopher5033]

Lorena! Thank you so much for sharing this technique. Although I have always done self-binding quilts, I still struggle and have just rolled it over as I go just like Granny did. I dread doing the edges for this reason and have been trying to find an easier way. This will be a HUGE time saver for me and it looks so beautiful. Glue...that's ingenious! It looks so beautiful and much cleaner than my edges have been. Can't wait to try!!

[@ToniNov25]

Michelle Christopher I really do hope that it works for you!!! I also have a video on doing this on a large quilt!!

[@beckyburnham6869]

[@jamesmiller8551]

Where is the larger quilt tutorial? I would like to view it. Thanks for the this one,

[@petmomful2260]

This looks like a great technique! I will definitely try it. Sometimes I watch videos that make quilting like rocket science, so hard and intimidating. But unless you are making a quilt for a show or contest, it does not have to be that way. This is a really nice tutorial, you explain everything so well. This will really simplify things.

[@ToniNov25]

[@ToniNov25]

[@ToniNov25]

Bruce B I am so excited that you finished a quilt! I truly appreciate your comment!

[@lcron5023]

Nice technique...you make it look easy...but I prefer the look on the back of a quilt when the binding is a different fabric, so I will stick with the traditional method of sewing on a binding.

[@AlexSmith-gx5lc]

LOVE your tutorial. You explained everything very well. I'm going to do this. Thank you!

[@ToniNov25]

Thank you!

[@angelarutherford1840]

[@trijbijop]

exactly!! feel the same

[@ToniNov25]

To Becky Sills I use Elmer's Glue stick wash away. You can also use liquid glue it works also. It got messy for me to use it and I found that Elmer's glue wash away glue stick was easier for me. Lorena
