Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills.

Sharon, what kind of tip do you have on your Elmer's ? It looks like a tip for cake decorating. Thanks!

[betsy1947]

WOW! I'm so glad I found this tutorial. I have never used glue on any sewing project - ever. Never used spray starch either. I usually consider binding my quilts a tedious job, but I can't wait to try Sharon's method on my next one!

[trudysewist]

Although I think this is a very good way to make the binding, I think that Sharon should have told us that the binding should be placed right side down. She was using a solid so it may not have mattered but if you are using a fabric with right and wrong sides it makes a difference....Ask me how I discovered that.

I love this whole 3 segment series on binding quilts. I am a new quilter and this process had made binding a blast. I can hardly wait for my quilt to be finished so I can bind it! Thank you!

[skorkyrn]

Thank you so very much Sharon for taking the time to show and explain how to bind a quilt in the correct manner to showcase the quilt we all took time to make and now want to finish in a "professional" manner. Taking the time to do it CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME will pay off in the end!

[sparkysmom]

Wow, I just finished making my first binding using this method. I've always had trouble getting those perfect corners when stitching the strips together and this really helps a lot. I feel a bit covered in glue and starch right now but I know that practice will cure that. I can hardly wait to start putting the binding on the quilt. Thank you, Sharon!!

I first used this binding method a year ago and it came out perfectly! No pins to poke or snag on hand sewing thread and it stays totally under control. The first quilt I used this on was in the AQS Knoxville show and it won best of show in my county fair where the perfect binding was commented on! Thank you, Sharon.

I'm still very much a beginner. I never understood why some bindings looked so crisp and lumpless. I guess gluie, starch and a hot iron are the answers. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful technique. Pat

i love this video but can't get sound yet the sound on my laptop works great with other videos--other than youtube. anyone help.

[letterwoman1]

Eureka! I feel like a light bulb just went on over my head. What an excellent binding tutorial. I've never seen binding done like this before and it looks so nice and neat. Mine never turn out that nicely. I can't wait to try this method. Thanks so much!

[rhetaj1026]

Sharon, whenever I get stumped on a technique or forget how to do something, I can always come here and find exactly what I need. Your videos are clear and precise. Your generosity in sharing the free videos is GREATLY appreciated.

[Kasperack]

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful binding instructions with all!

[robbijoy]

Sharon, you are a genius.

Thanks for the binding videos.

[barbslucy]

These videos should be called Binding the Angel by the Binding Angel :) Sharon, thank you so much for sharing this technique.

[wildatom69]

Sharon, You are awesome. I have been quilting for a year now am am eager to learn as much as I can. Congrats on your best in show. It is stunning!

[Westernwilson]

Excellent presentation of a meticulous but not difficult method. Glue tips are available not only from Sharon but in a glue set from Lee Valley.

[GeneIvey1944]

Excellent, Thank You.

[krissib4]

Thank you so much for your videos. I have learned so much from your teaching. I will be ever grateful to you for your kindness

[Martysews]

I've watched this video twice and used this technique and the similar one on curved binding for 2 quilts that were on display in an OH museum. The bindings were perfect. Thanks so much for you willingness to teach...UR great!!

[bellynda1]

Thank you for sharing these videos, they are invaluable to a new quilter like myself and wonderfully detailed, I would love to try this technique and was hoping someone could tell me what Elmer's school glue consists of? I am in Australia and need to find an alternative, I would really appreciate any info. Again thank you for all your great videos.

[Martysews]

bellynda, Go o Sharon's website and leave her an email. If she can't offer an alternative for you to buy locally she would probably send some to you. She's a wonderful person as you can likely tell

[ldivall]

Sharon, I attended two workshops you held with the Bear Creek Quilt Guild in Keller, Texas last summer. Adding this information to the tons of information I learned in your workshops was just icing on the cake. Your techniques are amazing---and your quilts are incredible. Thank you for sharing your wonderful techniques with us---you are a powerful teacher and there are hundreds of beautiful quilts out there because you were willing to share!

[joeysmom27]

[catsden]

I have never seen this glue technique, and I have been quilting for a long time. I plan to give this a try.

[southeasterly]

Sharon, thank you for sharing your techniques. I have used your binding method three times (in the last couple weeks), and I am very pleased with the results. No worrying about getting stuck by pins. No worrying about misplacing clips. No worrying about the fabric rippling while hand-stitching it down. Everything stays in place. I need a little more practice on my corners, but I'm getting there. -Alice

[Patzee02]

Excellent video! Thank you so much!

[Zola90210]

Great Video!! Thank you for sharing.

[carbonglo]

This are great videos. Thank you for sharing.

[promisso]

Sharon's method for binding really does work! I followed it step by step and for the first time ever, I can now say I have one quilt with PERFECT BINDING. Many thanks Sharon.

[Conartist1945]

Hands down, that was the best explanation I have ever seen for binding a quilt. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!

[misstroye]

Thank you for sharing. I have never had any quilting classes so this is helpful to me. I am not much into perfection but good workmanship is what I like to pride myself on. Thank you again for sharing.

[teacupgrannie]

This has been so helpful for me! Thanks so much for sharing this with everyone. Teacupgrannie

[promisso]

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and knowledge, you videos are fantastic. Although I've joined a quilting class I keep referring back to your presentations which has helped enormously. Tonight I made the binding for my first quilt following the instrictions here and I am delighted with the result. Do you do a beginers quilt course on your website? Thanks once again
