This was awesome. I do my binding like you, in that I sew to the back and do not iron, but I have not joined the ends like this in the past, I will be sure to use this method in the future. I love the simplicity of it! Thank you so much for sharing.

@DonalovesMegaLadybird12 10 ай бұрын

I took home economics in the 60s and we were taught to always rip my fabric instead of cutting with a rotary cutter. No one in the shops have heard of this! I find when I am trying to straighten up my fabric for it difficult to do with the rotary cutter so I think I will go back to ripping for that first step. PS. The photo for "me" is really my mom, who would be 100 today!

This is a great video! I recently made a quilt out of men's dress shirts. I torn the fabric to make sure I was cutting with the grain.

Good info, back when I started sewing they always ripped the fabric when you bought it. Now with cutting, it gets wonky and too much waste.

@TinyOrchardQuilts Жыл бұрын

I always rip wideback fabrics too because they are always folded so weirdly on the bolt. Cutting can be great for small pieces but ripping is a great option!

@tonitoland846 Жыл бұрын

When I first learned to sew, I think all fabric shops tore the fabric. It's amazing how many inches you loose from both cut ends these days because of using the fold, rather than the selvedge, to "square up" fabric (it's rarely folded evenly from the factory). I always press my fabric open, then refold, selvedge to selvedge, to make sure it's straight. And yes, I do still tear my fabric when I can (i.e. yardage, as vs. precuts)! Loved this binding technique, thanks!!

Thanks for another great video! I’ve torn my binding strips forever -but never admitted it publicly. It not only gives a reliable straight if grain strip, but I find it much faster, and I really like the sound of ripping fabric. I’ve never seen the join done quite like you demonstrated. I will definitely try it. And I love your Halloween quilt!

@Sybil_Detard Жыл бұрын

Lol. Never admitted it publicly. Afraid of the quilt police, eh? I know we all are to some degree. Committing our little quilt "crimes" in the privacy of our sewing sanctuaries. I wonder why we are so afraid of the quilt police? I also like the sound of ripping fabric, especially when I am doing it. It is very satisfying.

Perfect timing for me-I have a quilt to bind! I have bound quite a few quilts, but you have shown me a couple of new skills that I will try this time. I will definitely rip my fabric, and I think the way you join the binding as you are finished sewing it to your quilt is genius! Can’t wait to try it! Thanks for your videos; I always find something new to try.

You saved my life a couple of days ago - cut my binding time in half (even though I went off-piste and pressed the strips I'd torn). I worked myself to a standstill but I got the quilt finished, wrapped and in the post in the nick of time - thanks to you. Have a wonderful Christmas and a very very happy new year!

In order to get perfectly on grain fabric I may have been known to pull a thread with a pin all the way across, gentle press any creases out and then cut along the line left by the thread with scissors. I can be persnickety 😂 I also wash my fabric as soon as I get it due to allergies and sensitivities to the chemicals used to finish fabrics. How lucky you were your stripes were printed on grain. Sadly I have found often printed patterns are off grain. Your quilt is so lovely for Halloween/Samhain!

@TinyOrchardQuilts Жыл бұрын

I've done the pull the thread on looser weave garment fabrics but I've never had luck doing it with quilting cotton. I've also had prints but really off grain before which is such a bummer! This was riley blake stripes and I've had pretty good luck with it.

@Carol_Sews Жыл бұрын

I don’t rip fabric because it stretches and curls the edge. You can also get perpendicular pulls of threads into your fabric. If you fold your fabric in half lengthwise, let it hang down, and adjust the cut edges back and forth until everything hangs smooth, you will be able to cut fabric strips that make binding that is straight and won’t twist.

You have revived teaching an old fashion method of sewing a binding on .... this was a way binding was sewn on prior to the advent of TV quilting shows ( Fons and Porter, Kaye Woods, Georgia Bonesteel etc.) They had started the trend of sewn connections instead of tuck ins. BTW I have ripped fabric forever to get straight of grain.

Its a wonky log cabin--no particular pattern. I made all the blocks and then trimmed them all down to 12 1/2" so they would sew together nicely. I don't think I've ever done a video on a wonky log cabin but I'm sure someone has. Its my favorite way to use up strip scraps!
