Great tutorial. Very valuable information and how to sew a hexi binding. I’ll refer back to this video when the time comes to binding a hexi. Thank you! 💕🧵
Thank you for the great tutorial. My binding instructions always say to leave 6”- 9” and I struggle with the fabric. 16”-18” seems so much easier. So you have really helped with 90 degree angles, as well.
We are glad you enjoy this tutorial. We believe in you! And just remember- we're always here to help answer your sewing & quilting questions. Thanks for watching! 💖 -Michelle
Thank you . I've never had success with these wide angles so tended to avoid these shapes. Now I've watched your helpful video with good camera work I can go ahead and deal with these edges getting a better result.
14:28 I never top stitch from the front and hope I catch the back. For me, the binding always slips out of line and I have to rip it out and go over it again or the stitches look like a drunkard's path on the back, but perfectly straight on the front. It's always a mess. ... If I'm going to machine stitch both sides of the binding (vs hand stitching the 2nd side) ... you can apply the first side of the binding on the back and top stitch the second side on the front, ensuring everything is caught and neat on the front (you might get a drunkard's path on the back, but it's not as bad as the first method.) ... Truth is I rarely stitch the 2nd side down by machine as I hate that drunkard's path of stitching. I was raised in the old school of embroidery where the back was supposed to look as beautiful as the front, so I usually hand stitch the 2nd side down on the back. But hints for joining and the corners were priceless, thanks. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵😷
I so happy to be watching your video! I had a very busy day and I want you to know that I enjoy your channel's content. I hope you have a fabulous week ahead! Thank you for posting!
Thank you so much for showing us how to make this beautiful table topper. I've always wanted to make it but them Y-seams have put me off, now after your tutorial I know I can have a good go at it. You showed it perfectly. Thank you Jen very much Kathleen from ENGLAND.
Thanks for this great tutorial, Bethany! Your techniques make the whole process so much easier! Plus, I didn’t know about the corner clipper. I’m going to add that to my toolbox! 🙏
Hi Judi, There are many different ways to bind a quilt, but I typically sew the binding to the front of the quilt and then turn it over to the back and stitch from the front to secure the binding down. However, if I have the time to spare, I love the look of hand sewing the binding down to the back after I've machine-sewn it to the front. Hope this helps! -Bethany
Bethany, so nice to see you again! This was a great tutorial showing how to get those mitered corners on a 120 degree angle. I also was really fascinated by the techniques you used in the orange blossom quilt and want to try that as well. ❤️ from Texas.
We're very glad you're enjoy Bethany's fun tutorials! We appreciate her unique skill set and we look forward to hearing how these techniques work for you. Thanks for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
Thank you for this! I've been quilting for a little over 5 years and just made something with a corner that wasn't 90 degrees. After seeing how you did this, I get it LOL.
Excellent video and tips to deal with angles. I have a Christmas tree skirt with these same angles, and will be saving your video to reference when I finish quilting and get to the binding. Perfect timing! Thank you.
