I never thought about reducing the bulk like this! Thank you for such a wonderful idea :-) I like how you pin the binding down too.

Finally! A mitred corner tutorial that I understand. 😀

[@lindamanganello4881]

I'm done, I don't care for the commercials.

[@lindamanganello4881]

Your hands are in the way, need camera overhead

[@jandtbang]

Too many annoying advertisements in your intro!!!

[@gardengate1339]

You can just skip past the ads.

[@transcribecologmailcom]

I skipped past some of them, but I took a minute to look at the products they were advertising to see if I could learn about a new company, fabric, etc. If you liked these ladies, then I would like to know what products they use. That's usually one of the first questions I ask my teachers and friends.

Very helpful reminder. My corners have been getting sloppier as I've been too lazy to take the project out of the machine at the corner ... big mistake. I don't do much quilting yet bind a lot of towels, pot holders, etc. It's a great way to finish an edge.

[@mariandimson8450]

I watched this video and finally got my corners right. This is I think quilt # 5. And the first one where all four corners came out perfect. Thanks.

[@MsDiamond611]

Thank you, the 1/4 in edge demonstration was crystal clear! Thank you.

[@Lsutube963]

Great video but why the pop-ups? I’m elderly so I have to either read the pop-up or pay attention to what you are saying and doing - it was lovely being young and doing both at the same time but I can’t do that now. And besides, what was important in the pop-ups anyway? Like “We are going to demonstrate this together today”. Well, yes, I was paying attention to you doing just that so you didn’t need to break my concentration to tell me what I was already watching you do! Sorry to be critical because I love your channel but I thought I would share this for those of us who would rather you just show us what to do and not make us read what is obvious or what you already told us. And to anyone who wants to ignore my praise and criticize my suggestion, please remember you’ll be old one day too! Pretend I am your great-grandmother - would you criticize her?!

[@karengill6214]

Thanx for explaining how to do this binding edge neatly as a beginner it really helps me to learn the art of nice neat work 🤗

[@333whippet]

Thank you so very much this method worked wonderful for me . i watched many videos but this one hit home .. thank you for the clear explanation from your mom .. ❤❤❤❤

[@Beautyonthebrain_]

I have been quilting for 4+ years now and every time I have to miter corners on a quilt, I come back to this video. It is so incredibly helpful.

[@johannebrunner6477]

How many sponsors do u need to post?

[@CarolsVideos]

I have always loved watching Quilty. I started trying to quilt a few years ago (I'm 23 now) and something about Quilty is modern and easy for me to watch. It's always so organized and the milti camera view is great.

[@cherylbee9899]

Lol, bonding with your quilt. Ok. Good video. Thanks

[@hannahcoleman2940]

Annoying adds

[@transcribecologmailcom]

I followed, paused, followed, paused, backed up to try again and voila - perfect corners - and it couldn't have been easier if I was sitting there with them.

[@kathyvalentine1543]

I’m a beginner , my binding on the table runner I worked so hard on looks like 2 cats chewed it. Up. So sad thanks for the video

[@lynb8966]

Thank you for this lovely video. I failed sewing at school as the binding fell off the apron pockets and sleeves! Now 60 years later I’m learning to quilt and binding ……😢 is an integral step. Hopefully the corners will come out as beautiful as yours!

[@frognuts6969]

Skip to 1:30 to start NOT learning how to bind a corner, WTF?! using a folder here trying to turn corners

[@zenspirit2335]

You lady's are fantastic! I am glad I found your video, thank you so much, you both did a great job showing and explaining. I have only just started learning to quilt and my biggest issue was the corners! I cant wait to give this a try. Happy quilting :)

[@lindawilson3770]

Have always been unhappy with how my binding corners turn out. Going to try that little snip and see if that makes a difference for me. That's the only thing different than what I've done in the past.

[@shirleytrill3151]

Thank you for such clear instructions - I have just made really neat corners for the first time!

[@melmaymom929]

Never doubt your skills!! I entered a quilt show just to "get my feet wet" and to figure out what they were all about and ended up winning 1st place in the lap quilt division! You don't have to have decades of experience, and to be honest I think the judges like to see fresh new perspectives on quilting from the younger generations 😊

[@devis3863]

A real help! And thanks for explaining and showing closeups clearly and the tips too ! I am grateful to you girls ! At age 65 I have started to enjoy my sewing again !

[@marilynsutcliffe8235]

My corners look perfect and I love your way of pinning now to sit and start my hand sewing.

[@julieleighton-co9xj]

Thank you for your through explanation of how to address the corners when sewing on the binding. I love the mother-daughter teamwork. My mom an avid quilter passed 3 yrs ago she was my teacher, I miss being able to pick up the phone and ask her a quilting question.

[@hemidancer64]

Thank you!!! I *finally* learned what I have been doing wrong and why my corners always come out wonky. GREAT tutorial!!

[@hilaryshannon4226]

I am so very happy and it's thanks to you. I have been making quilts for the past three years and have never mastered the binding corner. Always a bit of a fudge/dog's dinner/teenager's bedroom - you chose the analogy. The trimming of the corner is genius and it works. Many thanks

[@catd6235]

Thank you,,,,I got 4 quilting blankets laying around waiting to be binding and I just hating doing that part cause I couldn’t do it right...now I see how easy this look...thanks....

[@joanrecker230]

Thanks so much for the tutorial! Love seeing you work together. I'm taking you into my sewing room and finish my baby quilt.😊

[@lilibetwindsor2386]

Why do these women look so much alike? Did she say "thanks, Mom" at the end?

[@janorzewalla6564]

The best video to learn this task. Especially taking the small piece of material to start top edge

[@cindymaziol1170]

My mom was a great seamstress….I wish she was alive to teach me her tips! You are fortunate to have your mom to share quilting with!

[@pamstrong8709]

I'm sure this method works well, but as a beginner/novice, I found this a little too quick and difficult to follow. I'm thankful for the 'pause' button. Also, the camera should be closer to the work being done...

[@kayball9784]

I'm so happy I found this tutorial. I just finished my first quilt top and I have had a time binding it. I just can't get the mitered corners. I'm gonna start all over and take this info you have given to help me get it done.

[@BA-ng9bx]

I remember watching Marianne and Liz do this over 30 years ago. They were the first and the best!❤

[@rondabergeron4414]

You are very right. Marriane is a great teacher. Her method is so easy!. I hand sew a lot of my quilts and do miter corners on them. Reducing the bulk will make it much easier. Is there a video of her method of hand stitching the binding?

[@illhaveabite.7711]

My daughter's mug rug has PERFECT corners, thanks to y'all. Great demonstration.

[@carolbarnes7844]

I finally get it. Thank you a million times, thank you. You ladies are the best

[@sw-ohiolakers2670]

Good instruction. I wish my daughter would sew with me. :(

[@maryannbuck7720]

Hi my name is Mary Ann🌺

[@delephaagee1190]

where is Mary Fons I miss her but i like those shows and I like her way of doing things

[@tatyanasurenyan-krech6372]

Thanks! I leave it in the machine and I miss it.

[@virginiarangelperez3109]

Subtítulos en español por favor

[@tracybrewer5844]

This video came on just as I was starting my binding on a boys quilt. I do mine this way and always turn to back and hand sew very small stitches. I enjoy this part as it is the finish of yet another quilt and the hand sewing is very relaxing I think.

[@tonjacovington7782]

I used your tip for opened belled sleeves on a dress and the contrasting binding looks perfect! Thanks so much!

[@nikkiblakeman5749]

What model babylock machine is this? Thanks!

[@jessikahughes4471]

I love your easy teaching relationship with each other! Great demo. The 1/4" stop point is what I was missing.

[@itsnu2u]

way to go Mom that was a great tutorial !

[@beverlymartin1414]

If only her daughter would keep her mouth shut...She is so anoying and disrupts the conversations. A great loss when the original quilt ladies retired.. This is an old video and I am sure Mary has moved on...

[@fatimaeliot9792]

In french we say:telle mère telle fille.Vous êtes toutes les deux adorables.

[@lindafriend9392]
