How to hand sew binding on a quilt 

I appreciate people who have patience to do this... 😉

Always appreciate your thorough explanations. They are so helpful for me as a newbie quilter 😊

I am sure glad you are teaching us how to sew the binding- I didn't have a clue how to sew it and did the best I could but now I can learn to do it the right way so thank you very much, Laura!

Thanks a million Laura for such a useful tutorial!🌺🌸

I havent hand sewn many quilt backings but this tutorial is the best of all i've viewed for refreshing my skills!

As you were sewing i realized that the picture on the quilt was veggie tales and my inner child got excited! That quilt is so cool I love it.

This tutorial helped with some areas that are always harder for me. Love the safety pin to hold until done. I've always used a straight pin and it never quite holds or comes loose. And the way you put your beginning and ending bindings together is soooo much easier. Thank you Laura.

I agree I love hand binding. It’s my time to sit and relax and enjoy my quilt that I worked so hard on

Love your tutorials! I always learn something from watching... Thank you. I'm working on my first quilt and thanks to you it's made things much easier. I'm at the binding stage and didn't want to machine stitch. Now I know I'll get a better finished edge. 💕

Fabulous! I am self taught but you just taught me a few new things and now I can hand sew the binding properly for a beautiful finish.

GOSH THIS WAS THE BEST HAND BINDING EVER! Thank you so very much!

I'm new to quilting and I've only finished one quilt so far. I'm going to try holding my quilt the way you are and see if this will work better for me and more achy wrist. Thank you.

I love the hair cut!

wish I had seen this video before I sewed on my binding lol it looks fine, stitching is good cant even see it but I did have difficulty with the corners....ah well am already making another quilt so I can use these great tips on the next one :) ty so much for being such an awesome teacher.....the very first quilt I have ever made so I'm proud of it irregardless lol

I always learn something from watching (and re-watching) your videos. Thank you!

Very informative. I appreciate learning how to do corners and joining the binding.

I needed this video for the corners! and the hand sewing part of binding. Like others have said, your videos are really well done with great pointers. I feel lucky to have found your channel because I have no one who can help me learn

How do you do binding on the front after it has been machine sewn? Can you tell i am a beginner.

Thank you that was very helpful!

This was awesome and perfect. Thank you so very much.

Thanks!!!

Great demonstration Laura..You speak & demonstrate so well... slow & deliberate so I can digest...very well done..Thank you..Laura..What kind..size sewing needle do you use❓❓Jan

good tutorial especially the corner part!

I also like those short pins. can you share where you purchased them? Your teaching is excellent and also the filming. I agree about the housework comment! I can see how much you truly love doing a real quality job!

Love, love, love your videos! My class for tonight was cancelled and I’m at the binding stage of my very first quilt. My quilt binding has the batting in it and is actually the material from the back of my quilt so no need to sew it on. I’m assuming I should start on a side and not the corner? Also, will my corners work the same since there is batting involved? Anxiously anticipating being able to snuggle up under my first quilt!!!

Do you use a single or double thread. I try single but want to use double..

How long does it take to hand bind a quilt? like if I wanted to do a twin sized quilt, how long should I expect to spend on just binding it?

Sometimes I feel a little guilty in watching your YT videos - like I'm cheating. It's as if there's this weekly conference at a local hotel that gives top secret instructions that only experts know. Rumor is that the registration fee for these seminars is too expensive for me. But then a hotel employee tells me how I can easily slip through a side door with no one noticing and attend them free of charge each week. So like a naïve young teen, I sneak in that very door. Then I sit down alongside those who paid the registration fees and try to act like an adult. I soak up all the information and am thrilled I'll be able to apply all this knowledge on my upcoming sewing projects. And yet . . . each week I walk out the door feeling a tad guiltier about not paying the registration fees when I think there are probably other ladies not attending because they don't know about the side door and think they might have to sacrifice some of their family budget money to attend. If only I could tell them. After I few months, one day I'm walking down the street and coming towards me is the instructor and with a warm smile she greets me, "Oh, hello! I recognize you from my classes. Are you enjoying them?" Shocked to see her out of context, my mouth drops, I stutter and say, "Y-y-y-e-s" and then out of shame I break down, start crying and confess my thievery. She effortlessly removes a tissue from her purse and gently offers it to me. "Oh my dear lady, there's no need for tears or to feel guilty. The classes are entirely free to anyone who wants to learn. It's my joy to teach others and share my skills. Please, come back and bring your friends with you. Let's see what we're sewing next time in the sewing room; bye for now." And then I realize . . . this lady teaches us all more than sewing lessons. Thanks, Laura; I especially enjoyed these detailed tips on hand sewing a binding on a quilt.

Have you tried using the blind stitch to sew your binding? Instead of nipping into the fold of the binding tunnel through the fold about a quarter inch then into the quilt backing just like you did. It looks very professional as the stitching thread is almost invisible.You don't see the thread where it nips the edge of the fold. I would like to hear your opinion on the blind stitch method just to see what you think of it.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hvb-Fq4-zjA.html

So, you aren’t a fan of binding clips?

okay I see, oh wait you are going to sew the whole binding all the way around? gosh Alfalfa that is a lot hand sewing.... good grief Charlie Brown...
