I like to use a folded corner ruler to cut ends of stipd. Just stack up right sides up and cut. Perfect every time and makes it easier to sew. I finish ends this way too. Very nice tutorial.
It seems to be a good tutorial, but the music made me quit watching about halfway through. It adds nothing and is very distracting. It also poses a barrier to viewers with auditory disabilities--it makes it difficult to separate the speech from the music.
I tried this with the 71 foot and the stitching on the back of the quilt once the front was sewn was a considerable distance from the actual binding which looks horrible ... off to search for another tutorial ... and sadly rip out a crap ton of stitches.
I have watched numerous tutorials about how to machine stitch the binding and have yet to be able to pull it off. I continue hand sewing my binding to the back. It looks nice, don’t have to rip out stitches, and saves thread.
I cut the binding 2 inches wide, not 2.5 inches as she says. I also follow this video, which showed me how to correctly bind with the 71 foot, it's the video that I always recommend to anyone who wants to use this method successfully ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tpl-7L4SEzM.html
@@elizabethnevers3945 Use this method, she explains the method of using the 71 foot well. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tpl-7L4SEzM.html
that is my thought exactly! of course we can just try the method as described and see our own results, but would be really helpful if she added a few pictures at the end of the front and back of the sample sandwich for each foot
This method of using the 71 foot works every time for me. Shelly recommends that you cut the binding 2" wide, not 2.5" wide ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tpl-7L4SEzM.html
