Good video the way I do binding

[@irenezewski]

I have seen a hundred binding videos and this is hands down the very, very best!! I will never dread binding ever again! Can't thank you enough

[@DJ-rx5lz]

I agree, 3 quilts to bind before xmas and the clock is ticking down-I am less anxious now so thank you for that

[@staceyleecreative]

Wow, thank you! That’s awesome! Thanks for watching 🤗

[@christopherwalker5351]

Irene, you said exactly what I was thinking.

[@7HoofsforYHWH]

I agree completely!

[@HazelSmith-y4l]

Hi there. I'm just a beginner quilter and have been dreading binding my first quilt. But not any more . Your tutorial is wonderful. It's by far the best one I've watched, and I've watched a LOT. So thank you so much. I'm anxious to get started. Thanks again. 😊

[@staceyleecreative]

Wonderful! Thanks so much for watching!

[@kathyandruss9623]

I have to look at a video every time I finish a quilt project. This one, by far, is the easiest one to do. Thank you for the “plain talk” of walking us through this process! I’m not going back the the other way of measuring the tails and folding using the binding tool. Can’t tell you how many times I have needed to rip it out and start over, lol!

[@staceyleecreative]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment 😊

[@janicekingsmill5150]

I hate binding till now you are so good at explaining this I think I'll be back to binding my quilts again Thank you so much

[@staceyleecreative]

You are so welcome! Glad you found it helpful! 😄

[@cornczechcornczech2024]

You instructions SAVED me and my quilts. I am a newbie and every time I would try the "pocket method" - I couldn't stuff it in, it would be a HUGE bulk in my binding - so much so, that i was embarrassed to even GIFT 1 of my quilts - then I saw your video where you CUT the edges with a 45D angle - both pieces - YAY! I finally made the almost perfect quilt with almost perfect binding - and all thanks to YOU.

Thanks Stacy !You teach well ! And you have such a clear sweet voice .It's really soothing to hear you talk !

[@jeaniemichaels8281]

I have come across all these little tips elsewhere before but now you have combined them all into this brilliant tutorial which I can refer to anytime I need a refresher. Many thanks for this.

[@dorothyrockwell8157]

I really appreciate you taking the time to show how to set up the sewing of the strips together. It is not as easy to do it perfectly as some folks show. This is very helpful.

[@staceyleecreative]

I'm so glad you found it helpful, Dorothy! 😊 It's true, getting everything lined up can be tricky, so I'm happy my video was useful. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment! 🌟

[@annascavezze616]

Thank- you, Thank-you, after years of struggling to put bindings on my quilts, this technique is a game changer. A dream come true. I will never do it any other way going forward. Thank-you again!

[@staceyleecreative]

That is awesome Anna! Love it! I appreciate you taking the time to come back to my video and let me know how you got on! Please pop by my channel again soon 😊

[@leighagarcia]

I've put off finishing my almost 8 year old son's baby quilt (yes, for that long) because I hate binding so much, but this video was truly a lifesaver and actually made the process very painless! You are SO good at explaining everything in just the right way! I decided to blind stitch the front of the binding, but otherwise, my son now has a finished quilt!!

[@leighagarcia]

I wanted to add- I learned how to quilt from a lovely Australian woman, and while your accents are slightly different, nothing made me feel more *safe* than listening to your accent while doing this project! 😅

[@staceyleecreative]

I'm so glad the video helped you finally finish your son's quilt! 😊 Binding can be tricky, but I'm thrilled the process was painless for you. Your son must be so happy to have his quilt! 🌟

[@staceyleecreative]

Aww, that’s so sweet, Leigha! 😊 I’m glad my accent brought you some comfort while working on your project. Thanks for sharing that-it made my day! 🌟

[@debiogle3798]

THIS is how I will bind my quilts from no on! Thank you for detailed descriptions!

[@staceyleecreative]

Awesome! I’m glad you found it helpful. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment 🙏

[@karenmcmullen9884]

Perhaps someone has already suggested this. If one does not own a lift compensating foot, a zipper foot works beautifully. Thank you for your clear and concise instructional videos...a gift and blessing to all of us '"newbie" quilters...

[@staceyleecreative]

Thank you so much, Karen! 😊 That’s a great suggestion-a zipper foot can definitely work well if you don’t have a lift compensating foot. 🌟

[@lynnebivens2119]

This is the best, most helpful tutorial I’ve seen on binding quilts. I’m getting ready to bind a quilt now and really love that I found this video!

I followed this and it’s the easier binding method I’ve tried. I’m sold! Thank you.

[@staceyleecreative]

I’m so glad to hear that, Francesca! 😊 It’s awesome that you found this binding method to be the easiest you’ve tried. Thanks for sharing, and happy sewing! 🌟

[@michelecaldwell3962]

Thank you! Your video was SO helpful. I’ve watched several lately and you are the only instructor who didn’t assume I knew what I was doing. Others skipped steps etc. Your video was outstanding! So very helpful!!

[@staceyleecreative]

Thank you so much, Michele! 😊 I'm really glad the video was helpful for you. I try to make sure I cover all the steps so everyone can follow along. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment!

[@painter225]

I just made my first quilt (at 64) and have been looking at youtube videos on how to do binding! Hands down you were on the top of my list! A very close second was someone who did it similarly but started at the front instead of the back. I had intended to find the left compensating foot for my machine, but I can’t find one. That would have ensured some neat stitching lines. But I’m sure I’ll figure something out. I’m at the final step now. Thanks for your helpful video!!!

[@dawnsweredoski5059]

I had to add another comment. I finished my quilt thanks to you. I put the binding on the back and sewed it to the front. I save so much time. I also used your method to attach the binding using the pocket that you showed. I am thrilled to have finished my first quilt. And the App for measuring the number of binding strips is priceless. Thank you so much.

[@staceyleecreative]

I’m glad you found it helpful! Well done on finishing your first quilt 🥳🥳🥳

Stacy Lee, I just discovered you as I was scrolling to find some relaxing gospel music to lull me to sleep. LOL! There you were talking about binding quilts! I missed part of the video but I'll keep watching you, help me with binding my quilt. Thank you so much! I appreciate you! You are so kind and patient. I believe I'll learn a lot from you! Thank you on behalf of the other quilters who might be a little shy. May God bless you and keep you close to him, in Jesus' Name.

Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment 🤗

[@sioux9468]

Great video - well done. I do my bindings this way and the only thing I would add is that when sewing the attached binding down from the front, make sure your top thread matches the binding, and the bobbin thread matches the backing fabric because there will be a visible stitch line around your quilt back NEXT to (away from) the binding.

[@staceyleecreative]

Great point! I am a cheat when it come to thread and almost always use white!

[@staceyleecreative]

Sorry to irk you 😊

I have always sewn on an antique Singer. I just purchased a Brother and I am in the middle of making a baby quilt, and quilting by using the machine and its walking foot. I was stumped about the binding. Thank you so much for this...this is exactly what I needed!

Thanks so awesome - I’m glad it was helpful. I would love an antique singer, they are beautiful 😍

[@lydurd7949]

Thank you so much for such an amazing way to bind a quilt. The corners always gave me trouble but you showed how to do it in such an easy way. And now, I don’t have to measure and hope for the best when attaching the ends. Now, when I get compliments for my quilts, I won’t have to say to myself, “Don’t look at the corners, don’t look at the corners, don’t look at the corners!”

you, my dear, are the best! i just used this video to bind my second ever quilt-- watched it through, then again, pausing every step of the way to do exactly what you show. easy peasy, and turns out that when i know what i'm doing, i actually quite enjoy the binding step-- the grand finale! yay for me! 😁 i've been stalled on this one at the squaring up and binding phase for a couple months, have worked up 4 more quilts in various stages, waiting for the stars to align so i was ready to bind #2-- and turns out, you are the star! thanks!

[@debraewing2859]

I LOVE the Left Compensating Foot! It's a binding game changer! (Brother and Babylock owners - your foot is called a Left Bi-Level Foot. Sure wish Janome would make a Left Compensating / Bi-Level Foot. You can use their Stitch in the Ditch Foot and shift your needle to the left - and it works pretty well, but not as well as a Left Compensating / Bi-Level Foot.) Thank you for your tutorial! Very informative!

[@staceyleecreative]

Awesome - thanks so much! I appreciate you naming the foot for other machines 😊

[@KKIcons]

Also it's great to finally find out what "that" foot in the old collection is for and what it does. What is it called for singer machines?

@KKIcons - I don't know if Singer, Viking of Pfaff makes one. (I work for a local Janome, Elna, Brother, Babylock, Juki, HandiQuilter dealership.)

It’s easy when you have a big table for sewing. I envy everyone who does. I live in a townhouse/ cardboard box so it’s frustrating to cut anything. Sorry just want to complain to anyone who will listen.😊

[@staceyleecreative]

I understand. I record these tutorials in my bedroom on one desk. When I cut everything has to come off my desk and the sewing machine goes on the floor 🤗

[@ellathefinefella2084]

Felt! My only available space was an end table but we persist lol

[@brenda121143]

Chorika, I also live in an apartment but have solved this problem. I got a cutting table at Jo-Ann's that have two sides that fold down for narrow storage. I was able to afford it by using a 60% off coupon at the time of purchase. If you do not have a Jo-Ann's nearby I think you could order it and have it shipped . If you download their app that will get you started. Good luck

[@suebean3873]

That was a very good video. I would have liked to have seen where the front stitch ended up sitting on the reverse of it. That seems to be my problem. I can usually see the stitch on the other side and not always in the right spot. Can you show us the back please? TY

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi Sue, do you follow me on Instagram? I can share a pic there. You could use thread to blend in with the backing to help it not be as noticeable 😊

[@monaquilts4679]

Sue, I finish all my quilts this way. When you pull that binding over you have a very narrow binding showing on the reverse side as opposed to if you were doing the traditional method of hand stitching. I use invisible thread in my bobbin (I buy them pre-wound because it is hard to wind them without them getting too tight). With this method your top stitch will not fall onto the binding on the back side because it is so narrow. Stacey used a straight stitch on hers which is very nice. I use a decorative stitch on all mine, usually the serpentine (curvy) stitch. I own a 9mm machine and I love the way the curvy stitch looks on my binding. I have been teaching this method for a few years now and am so glad Stacey did a video. I hope many more people choose this method. Some of us are aging and our hands just won’t do the binding any longer or some are limited with time.

[@Oceanskye11]

[@jeanperren6094]

Using a Creative Grids Clipped Folded Corner Ruler eliminates the need to join binding strips by placing one strip vertically over the other horizontal strip, drawing the diagonal line to stitch on, sewing and cutting a 1/4 inch seam and then cutting off dog ears. Strips (as many as you want at a time) are placed right side up on top of each other. The folded corner ruler is used to cut the ends of the strips diagonally, eliminating dog ears at the same time. It is very simple to join strips as the cut edges fit together with the 1/4 inch seam matching perfectly. Saves so much time and leaves virtually little chance of error. Wouldn’t want to go back to the traditional method.

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi Jean, I hadn't heard about this ruler, thanks for telling me about it. I will go and check it out now 😊

Thanks, this is great as I don’t want to buy yet another specialized ruler just for binding. Clear directions using what I already have. Keep up the good work

[@cathyharris8942]

Great video! Never thought of looking for an app to calculate how much binding, backing etc is needed. Downloaded it now and it will be a great help in future. Up to now have always done the calculations the old fashioned way :-) Going to try this binding method with using my stitch-in-a-ditch foot.

[@SheriKoshkin-ve6kj]

Thanks for this suggestion. I never have drawn a line, but I recently bought the ruler you mentioned and that is a way to use it that I had not thought of. Thank you!

[@carolwann990]

Best binding tutorial I have seen. Thank you from Indiana-USA.

[@staceyleecreative]

Wow, thank you! Thanks so much for leaving a comment, I really appreciate it 🤗

[@naturalwitchery]

THANK YOU! This is so much easier!❤

[@staceyleecreative]

Awesome! I’m glad you liked my video 🤗

[@DebraPrater-jg7qy]

This is the best quilt binding video that I have ever seen!!! Thank you!

[@staceyleecreative]

Thanks so much for your sweet comment! I appreciate you watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment 😊

Stacey, if you don't mind my saying so, you have the most elegantly shaped hands that I've seen in many years. Long slim fingers, no big knotty knuckles, no bulging veins, well proportioned, with no bony appearance. Lovely nails. Beautiful, Ma'am. I'm an artist, and I've always noticed things like that.

[@staceyleecreative]

That’s so sweet of you to say - thanks so much ❤️

[@joancremo6258]

Perfect instructions 😊

[@hurricanelolly]

She does!

[@susancychowski582]

Love your videos

[@adventuresof2]

This was SO helpful, thank you! The camera angle made it so I could see everything so well and understand exactly what you were doing!

[@staceyleecreative]

I'm so glad it was helpful for you! 😊 It's great to hear that the camera angle worked well and made everything clear. Happy sewing! 🌟

[@robin7222]

I'm so grateful for your tutorial, I've struggled with binding, because I couldn't understand the many other instructions out there. I can comprehend what you are saying and doing, thank you so very much.

[@staceyleecreative]

Wow - thanks for the sweetest comment ever! Thanks for watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment - I really appreciate it! 😊

[@patriciaberne613]

I just read through all of the comments pertaining to this tutorial. I have watched at least fifteen tutorials on how to bind, and this is one of the best that I have seen and actually used. Stacey explains things more clearly than most. She reminds me of Tracey on The Sewing Channel. You know, if persons have personal, negative feelings, they really should think twice about posting them. Many of us are loyal followers of Stacey Lee and do not appreciate trivial negativism. Why not suggest an idea in a positive way. Why not compliment the good points. Why not explain how that persons completes the same project. I am sorry for such petty behavior on uTube. It is not necessary and is certainly not productive. Again, Stacey, do NOT let silly, uninformed, negative comments disturb you. I think the tutorial was great, and for once I finally completed a binding project that doesn’t look extremely unprofessional! Thank you! Pat Berne, USA

[@staceyleecreative]

Thank you so much Patricia! I appreciate your support and kind words. The good news is that when people start commenting on other people's comments I don't get notified, which is where most of the "not so positive" comments seem to go. I did have to delete a few where people got angry with each other - oh boy 😜

[@Joana-v7c]

Omg I didn't know there was an app for calculating material it's one of the things as a beginner at quilting that I struggle with thank you so much for sharing it's a game changer I always have to over estimate buying material to make sure I have enough❤❤❤

[@staceyleecreative]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment ❤️

[@DJ-rx5lz]

Thank you thank you thank you--I just finished binding on two quilts and one to go and this is by far the best way to bind. 3 quilts bound for 3 grand daughters for xmas and now I can breath, thanks again

[@staceyleecreative]

That’s so awesome! I’m glad it was helpful 🤗

[@jancampbell600]

Excellent instructions! I used your directions and made a self binding baby blanket and I am now obsessed.

[@staceyleecreative]

Great job Jan! Thanks so much for watching my videos ❤️

[@kittyswanson3611]

I always hand sew my binding - it is the only hand sewing I do on my quilts and I love it but I may have to give this a try. Thanks!

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi! I think hand sewing is the tidiest 🤗

[@jmezger1]

Oh my!!! I just used your recommended left compensating foot. It was so easy. I ordered it using your link. Best thing ever. I know I will get better and better. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video.

[@staceyleecreative]

That’s awesome! Thanks so much for using my link. I really appreciate it 🤗

[@reneerunning9933]

Love this video! I have watched many of the machine binding videos out there and this method works the best for me. I have bound 4 quilts now and resolved to keep the walking foot on my machine until all my ufos that just need the binding are done. Thanks for helping me get things done.😊

[@staceyleecreative]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching 🤗

[@tncowgirl]

Thank you so much for showing how you correct issues that we will probably see! Like the binding not being exactly at the corner. Wonderful explanations and camera angles! I can see everything! Well Done!

[@staceyleecreative]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching ☺️

[@traceybartlam7737]

This video is excellent. One of the clearest I ever seen and looks like a method I could do. It just made sense the way you showed. I have a table runner I’ve quilted which will be my first attempt at binding before I bind my first quilt so I’m going to try this method. Thanks for sharing

[@staceyleecreative]

You’re so welcome! I’m happy it’s a method you feel confident trying! ❤️

[@traceybartlam7737]

@@staceyleecreativeI’ve got it all on using the same method however if I sew near the edge of the front binding the stitching on the reverse is on the actual quilt back and not the rear binding and most definitely not in the ditch! Have I done something wrong because I’ve watched multiple times and can’t see that I’ve done anything different. I used the same width binding strips as well 🤔

[@DJ-rx5lz]

Thanks for the tip about the Robert Kaufman app--didn't realize there was such a thing and now it will save my brain😀

[@staceyleecreative]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🤗

[@michelleolsen2358]

Best Binding video out there. So clearly explained and can see what is being done really clearly. Bravo!

[@staceyleecreative]

Glad you enjoyed it! I always enjoy hearing that my videos are easy to follow, thank you for the comment!

[@samanthamurray9671]

I am new to sewing, and am watching lots of quilt videos, this is great for me as a beginner. Thanks so much :D

I love this how too! Binding has been so confusing and difficult. This looks so much easier . Thank You Stacey. I love your how to videos.

[@staceyleecreative]

Yay! I am glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment, I appreciate your support ☺️

[@debita9535]

Thank you so much for making and posting this video. I made quilts for my daughters for Christmas and the video really helped me with the binding which I had never done before.

[@staceyleecreative]

Wonderful! I’m glad it was helpful 🤗

[@never4getmylove4you37]

Thank you, finally , short and straight to the point.

[@staceyleecreative]

Thanks for your feedback! 🤗 I'm glad you found the tutorial concise and helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Happy quilting! 🌸

[@jaimereg]

Finally!! A way to join the binding ends that makes sense to me and i can actually do. Thank you.

[@staceyleecreative]

Thanks so much! Here’s a video if you would like to see the back of the quilt kzbin.info/www/bejne/apjIkKx4qbGSm5Ysi=fh__RTxf8q84okh_

[@kjeanjbean]

I did my binding like this with the very first quilt I ever made. Before I knew how you're "supposed to" do it. I tried with my next 2 quilts to finish it how it's traditionally done and I ended up having to rip seams, reattach extra fabric, etc. It was a nightmare! This is such an awesome method and your quilt looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@staceyleecreative]

I’m glad it was helpful! Just do what works best for you when quilting. 🤗

[@JenJiJ316]

You make the best detailed videos and I for one thank you for that. A lot of others skip over details that us newbies need and I would never have known until I watched a video by you on the same thing. Again thank you!

[@staceyleecreative]

Thanks so much for your sweet comment! I shared it on my instagram stories 🤗

[@farahmayadeen5522]

I used to dread binding before this video, but this so good, the instructions are easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@staceyleecreative]

Wonderful! I’m glad you liked it ❤️

[@patoconnell5007]

This was one of the best videos I have seen on binding. Thank you for this. Your voice is so calming I need you in my quilt room when I take this on again 🤪

[@staceyleecreative]

Thanks so much for the sweetest comment! I have heard from my regular viewers that if you listen to me enough, you will start hearing my voice - lol 😂

[@dorothyrockwell8157]

really clear instructions and easy to see what you are talking about - one of the best basic binding tutorials I have seen

[@staceyleecreative]

Thanks so much, I appreciate you watching my video and your kind words ☺️

[@claradavidson3258]

Best binding video I’ve seen & I’ve seen a lot !!!

[@staceyleecreative]

I’m thrilled you loved the video-it’s my favorite binding method too! ❤️

[@tammyb9274]

I learned so much from your video. The diagonal cut and tuck in the binding is brilliant. Plus, I can’t wait to try starting the binding on the back and flipping to the front. I appreciate how clearly you describe and show each step. Thank you!

[@staceyleecreative]

That’s awesome Tammy I am so glad you found it helpful 🤗 Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment ❤️
