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!
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!
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!
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
A very good video, and very easy to understand.
