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.
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.
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.
This is also similar that I watch everytime. Bonnie Browning shows you how to do it easily too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P1srfubwAIQ.html
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!
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!
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!
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! 🙂👍👏
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.
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!
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.
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.............
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!!
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.
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
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 .
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! 🤗
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.
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). 😊😊😊
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'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.
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!!!
I'll do the same as well... Since I tend to forget on how to bind, I have saved this video in my playlist. Thanks so much for the wonderful explanation and very clear instructions on this video!
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
