How to Bind and Finish a Quilt

[@stitchann]

Laura, your voice is so soothing it feels like you are reading a story to us. Just what we need in these times.

[@hotmessjess2762]

I was JUST thinking that. I came to find one of Lauras videos to destress me before bed as I have been spending too much time on my phone watching updates. xx

[@amyferro7397]

I agree! And very knowledgeable too

[@maggiemae987]

You explain things so well. It’s like sitting in a class with a teacher. THX

[@kojw7100]

The quality of your videos along with your clear instructions are second-to-none. Thanks!

[@SewVeryEasy]

wow, thanks:)

[@connieferrell4432]

If i hadn’t. Been at home and bored, i doubt I’d have watched this one. What a lot i learned. Thank you for your wonderful hints.

[@gwenbroward275]

you're never too old to learn new things. I am almost 78 and I've been sewing for years. I just tried this tip on a place mat and loved it. THANKS from a native Floridan. 7 more place mats to go

[@louettesommers8594]

I’m watching on September 2, 2024. I’ve watched this video several times. Thank you once again for such great instructions.

[@dianewarde6074]

Your instructions are so clear. I love the way you teach.

[@SewVeryEasy]

thank you:)

[@lightdancer4146]

I’ve just attempted my first quilt for my 3 yr old great niece and your video has given me confidence to finish it. Just hope she likes it (and so does her Mum! 😅). Wonderfully precise and slow explanation to get a professional finish. Thank you.

[@mariav957]

Thank you Laura, for explaining everything, so eloquently and taking your time so that we can understand every part of your wonderful video! We really appreciate it!

[@peggywarren8112]

I’m finishing my first quilt. Your instructions are clear, concise and easy. Thank you for speaking slowly and enunciating the directions perfectly. I wish everyone spoke so well on other videos.

[@karenjohns8859]

I learn something from you each time I watch one of your videos! Thank you!

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

Great tips on binding a quilt!!! Laura answered questions I didn't know I had! Her sewing techniques are so spot on and make a difficult situation so much simpler. She is a master at her craft!!! Thanks so much, Laura, for sharing your knowledge with us! You're the best!!!!

[@laurisnicholson1602]

You gave me the missing pieces 🧩🧩🧩 to the binding puzzle! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ five stars! Thank you so much!❤

[@joanthomas7082]

This particular video of yours has been so helpful to me. I watch it almost every time I bind a quilt. Thank you.

[@lindakochis5476]

I come back to this tutorial usually after I started the binding but finishing attaching the ends always sends me back to you. Thank you

[@yvettehendrickson3423]

Oh my gosh, you are magic! I just watched this and used your techniques. The pointed end binding for east joining and using the thread ends were complete game changers. Thanks so much for teaching so clearly.

[@carriesaffell8116]

You are instructions are very clear and your voice is calming. Thank you.

[@roseannhartman3753]

As a beginner quilter, thank you SO much for ALL of your wonderful tips!! Your tutorials are so clear to follow and “sew” very, very appreciated!!🥰

[@lydiamashcka4362]

Oh my goodness what an awesome way to join the binding, so much less complicated than the way I have been doing it. I will never do it the old old way again, how clever, thank you so much!!

[@debbiebrown7095]

Lydia Mashcka me too!!!!

[@ljgrow]

Your tips are GENIUS! Thank you so much for this video!

[@NolaTheAlamoChiliQueen]

THANK YOU for showing the hand stitching, it is beautiful.

[@marshalindquist5540]

You are such a great find. I really like the way you sew on your binding. Very easy instructions and a huge thanks for not going so fast!

[@SEW_B]

Laura, you are such a good teacher. And with this video I learned a new way to bind a quilt. Thank you.

[@elizabethhuntzinger2071]

Yes, I agree that your voice and presentation is so very soothing and gives me confidence. I watch many videos but always come back to Sew Very Easy. Thank you!

[@jackiemobley8529]

I love putting on the binding, and I do mine just like you did. Stitching the binding is like putting a nice frame around a work of art--which is what a quilt is! Beautifully done, Laura.

[@michellegarraway2214]

That was one of the best binding videos I've seen. Much nicer than the others. Will try on my next quilt. Thank you again for sharing.

[@evaseibert3994]

I used your chenille Christmas quilt as my instruction to make a sweet baby quilt for my new grandson. I just watched this video to add the binding to that quilt. Thank you for your videos. I'm a beginner quilter. Anytime I need to learn a new quilting technique, I turn to your channel!

[@ellenjohnson8137]

Brilliant! Love the way you attach the beginning and end of the binding. Much neater and more accurate than other methods I have used. Thanks sew much!

[@maryannecadd796]

I almost didn't watch this video because "I already know how to bind a quilt!" I'm sew glad I did!!!!. The extra tips you gave - especially about offsetting the angles at the corner, were things I hadn't done or known before. It's never too late to teach a mature dog new tricks. Many thanks for another great video. :)

[@michellegarraway2214]

I find I'm always watching Laura's videos because she has different ideas.

[@cheryl8280]

Mary Anne Cadd You said it Mary Anne. Being a self taught quilter from eons ago, there are plenty of techniques that weren't around when I first started quilting. At that rate, there's always something new to learn.

[@michellegarraway2214]

I tried Laura's binding method last night. WOW...it was easy (even the corners)and fun to do. Thanks again for the tutorial. Cant wait for the next.

[@nicoleneboshoff8102]

First time I'm looking at your tutorials and thanks for explaining in detail... Especially for novices like me

[@greenquiltsgalore1326]

Thanks for covering the basics! It is always good to review them.

[@nildavalencia5524]

This binding demo helps me finish a quilt very nicely. Thank you 🙏

[@teresaogg6533]

Very good instructions on how to bind and finish my project. I’m a first time quilter and your video gave the the confidence I needed to complete my project. Thank you!

[@wendyhanlon6948]

I love the way you join the ends . I received your book yesterday afternoon! Thank you so much for signing it. I watch your videos many times and your tips have helped me improve my quilting and sewing.

[@SewVeryEasy]

Hi Wendy, so glad to hear that you have received it already :) have fun!

[@vinitafonteyn239]

Excellent - now I can make it perfect instead of just ok. Thank you!

[@lynnlange1147]

Got my book today....it's just beautiful!!! I am going to sit in the sun on my front porch and read every page this afternoon! Thank you!

[@SewVeryEasy]

Hi Lynn, I am so glad you received it already, have fun:)

[@annahumor5869]

...hallo Laura, thank you for so usefull tipps of binding. I have learned sewing as an autodidact by myself and I`m so lucky about this demonstration of perfect and cleaning working, special for binding and difficult technics for sewing, thank you so much teaching me, an older woman from the North of Germany...😊💐

[@sitinowak]

Thank you for the video. I wish I had found this video much earlier, but it's never too late to learn.

[@shineonucrazydiamond7536]

Love your videos they are super friendly and professional and you are very glamourous too. Your voice is a welcome sound while I learn.

[@dottieglenney314]

Binding the quilt is my favorite part of a project. Thank you for such great tips, Laura! You are so easy to listen to and follow. Thank you for your informative videos.

[@veracampbell9583]

I love the way you do your binding. Never saw it done like that. Thanks Laura.

[@pattiduffy6101]

I needed to do a refresher on doing the binding. I'm so happy that I came across your video. Just finished sewing the binding on, WOW what a simple and easy way to bring the ends together. Thank you. Now off to do the hand work, most definitely not my favorite thing to do.

[@TheGailhaynes]

Just did this technique on a binding that i used 8 different strips ... wow, so much easier than my usual method ...thank you so so much!

[@melissab.3377]

This is by far the best method I have seen for sewing the binding! I am ready to bind a quilt soon and I will definitely use this method! I love all your videos! Thank you!

[@marilynkick2956]

Hi Laura, I really love your videos and your SO calming voice. You make me feel that even I may be able to do it. I've tried many times to bind my work using 90% corners, but have usually ended up rounding them. I only have an ordinary sewing machine, and I'm too old to invest in a long-arm, so my quilts tend to be small cribb quilts or lap quilts. I look forward to attempting to bind my next quilt using your lovely detailed instruction. Thanks very much for your help.

[@amadeus4313]

I KNEW there had to be an easier way to finish that last little bit when coming around the last side!! Thank you!

[@daphnemarch9962]

Love your videos. So easy to understand step by step instructions and you are so very pleasant. Keep on stitching.

[@caryneisenberg1504]

Wonderful tutorial for a new quilter!! Thank you so much. And yes your voice is very soothing 😊

[@cleach5501]

This is one of the best tutorials I have watched on binding. You explain everything in detail. I find binding can be hit or miss. Not my favourite part of quilting. But with good instructions it can make it so much easier. Love watching all your tutorials. 🇨🇦

[@beverleybrowning3480]

This method of starting the binding I saw on one of your previous videos and it works so well! Because of your previous video I almost didn't watch this either, but I love your presentations. The corner tips are new and I'll do that now. My hands are too arthritic though so I'll continue to machine stitch from the top in the ditch. Not sure why but 2 1/2" is just the right size for me to use or I can't catch the binding when sewing in the ditch from the top. I do measure for the 1/4" sewing line. Thanks again for fabulous tips! Cheers! 🇨🇦🍁🍁💐

[@Phollenbeck1950]

Great tips. Easy to understand and thanks for adding the darker thread to demo.

[@phyllisclark5011]

Thank you, Laura. I especially like this method when finishing smaller items like mug rugs. Very nice.

[@Trixy8521]

Love using this method. I've been doing it this way since I watched your video on flanged binding. I no longer dread this part of quilting. Thank you!

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

So clearly explained. I especially like how you started and ended the machine sewing. Thanks!

[@merrilynblackmore6962]

I love this. Never saw this technique but will use it now. Thank you for your videos. You are amazing.

[@izabeau1953]

That is a beautiful quilt, I love the colors.....so beautiful....🌹❤️🌹❤️

[@janislong279]

I enjoy doing the binding as well and for the same reason. The quilt is finished!

[@johannepaquette969]

Best and most detailed tutorial on binding ever. Thank you so much. Many things I didn’t know even though I’ve done lots of quilt binding!

[@pamelakirby-davies7837]

Laura, thank you for such a clear tutorial on binding. It looks so neat when done. Your instructions were easy to follow.

[@hehasrizenful]

Thank so much Laura once again you have taught me something new I have always had problems with my binding and by watching this video I feel successful can't wait to try what you have taught me

[@loriczopkiewicz6460]

Laura, I love listening to you. You explain things so well and your sewing skills are amazing!

[@crystalcky1]

Omg, this is the sweetest video. I love the end saying to enjoy finishing it. I am usually so over the project by then I rush through it and it looks sloppy. But now I have learned to enjoy the ending. Thank you!

[@maryannfaulkner7998]

Thanks again for sharing all of your talent and wisdom. I received your book the other day and I love having you in my home!!

[@SewVeryEasy]

That is great news, and thank you, I love being there :)

[@PYN111]

Gorgeous! …I’m so glad I found this explanation. Many thanks!

[@Momzie808]

I just love your tips and the way you connect your binding, thank you so so much! Just love your tutorials!

[@ivanawinter4481]

I just love this video Laura you are so thorough in you explanations making binding a quilt so easy😊

[@sandraleliboux6801]

Thank you for this video, it is perfect. this is the first time that I do my binding and for once she obeys me instead of doing it at her head thank you very much

[@szelop]

Beautiful quilt. Thanks for the tips.

[@kayejc]

Laura, I finally found this. I have been struggling all these years. I founda few that made it a but easier but I do believe I'm done looking. Now to finish my latest project today. I'm not going to tell you how many I have made. Full size and mini quilts.

[@brendamoore3937]

I have watched several binding videos and yours was the best I've seen thank you so much

[@gisellemineur821]

I would love to see a full view of this beautiful quilt you’re binding!

[@SewVeryEasy]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/m33deqqvjLiHgrs

[@Robin-qc4gn]

More great tips! I also didn't know about the fold going in opposite directions at the corners. Your way of beginning and ending the binding is so much easier than what I've always done!

[@Hel1264]

It's too nice lesson! Very simple and very important detail! Thank you!

[@jiffer240]

This looks much easier then the way I am doing it now...Thank you very much...

[@ritameditz7342]

thank you for making my binding project's a lot easier!

[@debjacobson9800]

You've outdone yourself Laura! I have followed your previous binding video for countless bindings & this new tutorial is even better. Thank you so much 🧡

[@joannefountain5355]

I do agree you have the perfect voice for instructions. Please I would like to know how to make the quilt on the wall. I know its made from scraps and I would like to make one. I have so many small pieces . Thank You. You are awesome.

[@angelaarena5208]

Hi just finished the binding on my quilt and folded you step by step it turned out awesome your way is the easiest to follow. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and making it easy for me I always had trouble adding the binding 🧵👍♥️

[@SewVeryEasy]

You are so welcome!

[@joannesgstuff5116]

Thank you so much. Great way to start and stop binding. Lots of good tips.

[@karenguzzi748]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. You are so good at explaining. I followed along and got my quilt bound with no hickups. Looks perfect!:)

[@katherinemach1097]

You are an outstanding instructor, thank you 😊

[@elizabethveness7340]

Thank you so much for this. Binding is the one element that I detest about quilting. This makes my next project a little more appealing now.

[@mc3974762]

This is great! I have learned many things about quilting from you. Thank you for all the great videos! Kfc

[@quiltingforthesoul]

I’m always happy to see it done God bless you and your family

[@kathleen.rogers1442]

Thank you Laura, this tutorial was really instructional for me and gave me some much needed tips to make it easier and the quilt look much nicer following those tips!!! Thank you for all your videos 😊

[@clairee4901]

SOOOO VERY EXCITED!!! Just got my book!!!! Love it. Because i do alot of your projects i wanted to purchase your first book. But i cannot wait for a second book with your other crafts and projects you do so well. i like quilting but i would make a dress before a quilt. Free motion quilting is a hard one but i love how beautiful it looks if you could make a series on free motion, that would be great. Laura many blessing to you and yours and to all in this very hard time we are going through.

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thank you very much:) and I am glad you like the book!

[@donnaheflin6312]

Loved the wonderful tips on binding as I am a new self taught quilter and struggle with this! Thanks SO much!

[@douglassteele4892]

Thank you! That is a great technique, I am going to use that on my next quilt.

[@kathosim501]

Oh my gosh this is way easier than the way I was taught with my first quilt. Just sewed the binding on my second (first unsupervised) and it was way easier.

[@rachelburgener819]

Ohhhhh Thank you sew much, this was awesome!!! I recently accomplished my first quilt and I used my back fabric as my binding. I was so pleased with the whole process and can’t wait to do more! I enjoy each of your videos and learn something from each one 👏👏👏❤️😀😀😀

[@gailjernigan2482]

As usual, great instructions! Love your tips and tricks!

[@sarahbrantonwilkerson626]

Great video! I’m so glad I watched your binding video! Thanks for the tips!

[@kathleenmahan462]

Great tutorial, Laura. You provide me with the greatest tips. Thank you so much 😊

[@marisevorster1711]

What a great tutorial....Thank you Laura....lovely fabric! ( so by the way, my anti-virating mat has arrived; both of them and I don't know how on earth I have survived so long without them. A life saver for any electronic machine)

[@NiecyRose]

As always, a great and concise quilting tutorial. I love your joining method, it’s easier than measuring with just a few more stitches to secure. A shout out from me for the beautiful free motion quilting on the quilt you’re binding!

[@SewVeryEasy]

thank you

[@debbiebrown7095]

Loved this!!!! I will be changing how I bind my quilts!

[@bevgill3180]

Thank you for giving so many details.

[@LesleyChandlercrafts]

I keep coming back and watching this to perfect my binding! I love this. My question is how do you transfer those markings on corners to the binding?

[@letaclarke9853]

Thankyou so much for sharing.....I’m only just starting out quilting and this was so helpful. 😘

[@mgs783]

Excellent tutorial on alternative binding tips👍. Yesterday I received your book~ what a special pkg to brighten my day❣️. I learned something new today & I thank you.🤗.

[@SewVeryEasy]
