Easy way to Join the Binding on a Quilt 

I walked in the room where my husband was sitting and said, “I hate to say this, I really hate to say this, but I’ve watched six women tell me how to finish off a mitered binding for a quilt and have had to rip out three times. I just typed it in on RU-vid and found one video by a MAN explaining how to do it. And he did it perfectly! One try and I got it. Thank you very much.

Best instructions ever! I have watched many, trying to understand the process. Thank you!

Another quilt binding, another review of your wonderful tutorial! Thank you!

These are the clearest and most detailed instructions I have found . Thank you

Wonderful and well paced video. This is now my go-to video for joining binding. Please do not delete this video!

I follow this video every time I do a binding. Excellent demonstration.

Hi Emerald- I just completed my very first bias binding join. I was successful the first time due to your excellent instructions. Thank you so much for taking your time to share your knowlegde with us crafters.

Thank you for the calmness as you explained each step. Your wife is a great teacher, and you are a great instructor.

Very clearly explained - the best I have seen and by far the easiest and most accurate - thank you so much from New Zealand

the best video on binding. your wife can be proud of you. keep up the good work. thank you.

This is the best tutorial I have seen on binding - very clear. Thank you so very much

I’ve watched a dozen of these videos and this was by far the simplest and clearest on how to join a quilt binding. He was clear, concise and the Two colored binding made it so understandable. Thank you.

Great visual instructions with no special tools. Makes sense.

Thank you that was the easiest to follow of all the tutorials on this method that I have seen.

This is the best explanation of this method yet......Thank you!!!!!

This works perfectly every time! It is my go to video when I need a reminder. Thank you Emerald!

I Love yourvSewing Tutorials! You explain and demonstrate things so well. Thank you!

Oh my gosh- best method ever.I have always struggled joining the two binding ends.this method was very easy. I was successful on my first try.Many thanks!!!

Here I am back again watching your video after ripping out the binding ends twice. Thank you for such a clear and easy way to put the correct ends together in the correct way!

Best video on this I have ever watched. First time I haven’t twisted the binding! Did it right the first time. Thank you SO much

This method is a game changer. Perfect binding every time.thank YOU

I found this video recently, it now is a pleasure to bind all my projects, I just bookmarked it and bring it up every time. Thank You again

After watching so many other instructors for this method, I have finally found yours, which by far is the best. Thank you so much.

I made a small practice quilt just to learn how to prepare and sew binding on a very special baby blanket I'm finishing this weekend. I'm so glad to find your demonstration just in time--thank you!

Brilliant video. So well explained. Makes finishing off binding a quilt super easy. By far the best I’ve seen. Thank you.

Best tutorial on joining binding, I have ever watched. And I have watched 100s. 1000000 stars

This is an instruction that really helps left handed quilters. Thank you so very much!

I can’t even tell you how helpful this video has been to my life! Thank you thank you thank you 😊

This is the best video I have watched to explain this technique. I especially liked the 2 different colors he used to demo. It helped me keep the right and left sides from becoming an exercise in frustration!

Oh My Goodness.... I have just now found this.....without a doubt the very best tutorial ever! I wish I had found it a long time ago!!!

I am a visual learner and this was SO SO helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!

Thank you for providing this video. Very clear instructions and the close up was very helpful. My binding came out perfect!

Yours is the easiest way to complete the binding. I always search for yours when I need to bind a quilt which I have done today. Thank you.

Because of your easy-to-follow, visually clear, step-by-step instructions, I just finished joining the ends of my quilt binding without issue, which is a FIRST! Thank you for the excellent video! I am definitely saving it to refer to next time! 🙂👍👏

I always come back to you when binding is needed..thank you so very much…using 2 colors is such a great help…I have recommended you to many friends

This the the best method that I have found. He makes it look so easy. Thank You so much!!

Thank you. I appreciated the tip of folding the first binding tail at 90 degrees....wasn't sure what that was about. It is a perfect solution to not getting twists when joining this way. Twists are sneaky and yours is the only video that I found to address this.

This is the first explanation of binding that I’ve been able to grasp. I’m new to quilting, and self taught. I’m thankful for this great video ❤

I’ve watched many videos on this topic & yours is by far the best! Using different color fabrics helps a lot, as well as the way you laid the fabric on the table. It’s easy to see & follow along. You helped me get perfect results! Thank you!

Thanks for this video. I've watched a few, and this is the first one I understand about how to bring the two ends together. Thank you!!

This is and always will be my go to for finishing binding on a quilt. Great job!❤️

This is the BEST video for finishing the binding on a quilt!!! It's my go-to video, and I appreciate it every time I watch it. Thank you!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Finally an easy way to join the ends of my binding on my quilts.

What a great way to achieve this binding, so simple, great teacher and NO advertising to buy tools and templates ect.Thank you very much. 10 out of 10.Will keep an eye open for more tutorials like this from Emerald Meadows.

This has been a rather confusing process to me in the past. Your video is the best I've seen. I'm sure I won't have any more problems joining the ends of binding. Thank you very much for a very detailed video.

took me trying twice using the instructions that came with my tool, twisted both times, watched your video twice and BINGO! Success. Thank you for saving my sanity.

This is the best joining video I’ve seen! I always get a twist in my binding! Not anymore Thank you so. Much! Beautifully explained!

I saw this video a few years ago. It was the first time I was able to make a perfect join. To this day I prop my tablet up next to my sewing machine and follow along - perfect result every time. You've been an important part of every quilt (and table topper, wall hanging, Christmas skirt, jacket) I've made. Could have done any of it without you. A thousand thanks!

Just wonderful easy to follow, please never remove this from You Tube. I have tried this method and never been successful. Now I know how thanks to you. Thank you.............

The best way yet for me to join my binding. Thank you Thank you!

Love it. Just did it on my quilt and am very happy with the precise results. Thank your wife and tell her to put out more videos. 👍😊

Thank you so much for this. I come back to it every time I need to do a binding! So clear, easy to follow, works every time.

H, I use your video every time I bind a quilt. This time for a mini wall quilt. It is brilliant and worked well as usual. Thank you.

Thank you!!!!!!! You are the only one I've found that have shown me how to attach the ends of the binding correctly. I kept getting my results twisted. You showed me how to turn the right binding up in a 90 degree angle and from there it came out right! Thank you for this hint.

I use this every time I need to do a binding. When doing a binding, it’s so easy to make a little mistake. The instructions here are meticulous and very clear. I’ve never had a failure since I started using this.

Thank you for this video. I have watched three videos on how to attach the binding to a quilt, and yours is the only one that made sense to me on how you place the two ends so that you don't get a twisted mess! Not that I've ever done that, of course!!!! But I've heard tell---- : )

No other video ive watched is as soothing and is as precise. Every detail you include is vital. . I hate it when a tutorial tells me to "eye ball" it, because i dont know what im looking for! This time it was "laid out" for me, counted out for me, and measured! Who knew? Not to mention pinned. Thank you for using contrasting colored binding ends for this demonstration All of your efforts were very helpful.

FINALLY !!!!! I got it. I just finished ripping the seam out for the 5th time. I got it right with one try thanks to your video!!!! Thank you so much!!

Very informative. This was a great video because I understood what was going on. Thank again.

I'll save this under Quilting and delete the others showing this step. Much clearer. Thank you for using 2 different fabrics for ease in visualizing the process.

Best and easiest tutorial for finishing binding 😊

I have been using this method this the first time I saw your video!!! Thank you this has been the best yet!

Six years later...you have no idea how you have helped me get thru the joining of binding. I was pulling out my hair because my last 3 projects had the binding twisted. 😱😫😭😭😤 That little fold was the biggest tip ever. Thank you so VERY much!

This is the BEST explanation including the visual how to do it! I have been binding quilts for a couple years and it's always trouble for me. This made it a breeze. Thank you so very much! You have a new follower! 0:03

This is the best....I come back and see you everytime.....Great job.... "your wife taught you wellll"....😉😋👏👏👏👏👏👏

thank you !! have been struggling ALL day trying to join binding on a jacket I am sewing. Very easy to follow Tutorial. Well done. Glad to finish the jacket finally.

This is easily the best quilt binding method. .I have had such problems with other tutorials , never quite getting it right . I notice that some people think you are too slow , but it saves hours of frustration if it goes right first time , so thank you .

This is the best binding video I've seen abs i watched a lot. Do what he says and it's perfect! No extra yak yak either! Thank you!!

Thank you! Best binding tutorial ever.

Thanks for letting me understand this process at last

I finally get it...thanks to your video! God bless your wife and the organization that she belongs to for making quilts for cancer patients.

Awesome demonstration, thank you. I'll give out a try.

4 years on and this video is still helping others. I’ll be using this way myself on all future quilts. Thanks for a great tutorial.

Have been using this technique for years but it would always take a couple tries to get it done. Your video is so clear and carefully presented I got my current binding finished the first time. No hunting for my old directions or un-sewing. Thank you so much! 🤗

This is the easiest binding instruction ever! Works every time! Thank you!

Thank you so very much for this video I have been quilting for years and this has been the easiest way to join my strips thank U again 👏

This is very detailed and easy to follow. Thank you.

Absolutely the most simplified tutorial on joining the binding. Leave it up to a man to simplify the process. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You wouldn't believe how many videos I've watched and was just as confused after watching as I was when I started watching! You made it so clear and understandable! Thank you!

Sir, I know you tape this video some time ago, but thank you so much. I have watch so many videos on this and your has been the most easiest to follow. My binding came out perfect. Thank you sooooooo much.

Best tutorial I have ever seen on this subject. I am no longer afraid to try it.

Excellent instructions and very good visuals with different color fabrics. The best.I've found. Thank you!

You explained everything and made my life easier

Thank you! This was very helpful. For my mathematical mind, it made great sense! It’s a method that my mind can recreate easily.

I have done two quilts and put numerous bias binding on different projects. Every time I come to watch your video because I always get perfect results (not necessarily the first time each time but I’m getting better!). Thank you so much for your clear and easy to follow guidance (especially the two different fabrics, makes it so much easier to see). 😊😊😊

success I did it . Thank you to you and your wife your the best big hug to you both!!!

Stellar video! Different fabrics made this process SO clear!

I may have commented on this before, I can't remember, but I just finished another binding using this video and the method shown, and I find it to be the easiest method to follow. I have watched tons of videos trying to get this down pat, and this one actually works. Thanks so much.

I'm here again! Just brushing up before I get another binding done. This is the best video. Thanks!

I have tried numerous ways of joining the binding together. Thank you for the clear and concise way of explaining this. My binding came out perfect!

I've been watching lots of RU-vid videos to prepare for binding my first quilt. Many show the method of overlapping the ends the width of the binding to get the correct cut. But none show it as clearly as you. I especially like the way you show to fold the right fabric up and open the left over it to pin it together. The others are twisting the fabric and it's hard to follow. Awesome video. Thank you.

I love this tutorial. Thanks because I always forget which way to lay the binding to get it right.

THANK YOU. This is the best tutorial for joining binding!

thank you so much for this tutorial i have done this several times and have always struggled with this. thanks to your demo i will no longer, have to second guess with this. very clear instructions, again thank you and your wife, greatly appreciated!!!

Great tutorial - I've always used a "binding tool" with the end result being iffy! This is a very good tutorial with perfect results.

i love this video. i watch it every time i have to do my binding. thank you so very much.

Great job, I have watched so many of these tutorials and yours have been the best sofat. It finally hit me and I believe I can do this niw. JOB WELL DONE thanks

I found this video very helpful! Thank you for making it so easy to follow!

I do this your way everytime.....thank you for making it so easy

Great video on how to sew in the correct direction when joining the ends! Other videos are not so clear in that area. THANKS FOR THE CLARITY!
