Love, love, love how you JUST DO IT, without the extremely slow and babbling about unrelated things like so many do! To the point!

This was probably the BEST video tutorial regarding machine binding that I have seen - and I've been watching everything regarding quilting for years. I especially appreciated the application of the binding with about an 1/8th of an inch of the quilt backing fabric showing. A light-bulb went off! Why didn't I ever think of that? It's easy to see how this relatively simple step will improve accuracy and appearance. I am FMQ the last two bordered sides of a huge quilt and am actually looking forward to binding it! Always, always looking for an easier or better or more efficient way of doing things and you checked all three boxes. THANK YOU! I believe some folks are born with a knack for teaching that no amount of college can impart. Sharing your knowledge and 'how-to' with others in a way they can understand and put to use - and actually find joy doing so in the process - is a GIFT. Still learning all I can in my 80th year.

The final join tip blew my mind. So simple and yet I had never considered it. Thank you so much!

This is the best tutorial I have seen. No faff, no addtional unrelated information. Straight to the point and informative. Thank you!!

This is hands down the most elegant thing I've ever seen in 60+ years of sewing.

You are a great teacher. You encourage, warn about possible mistakes and explain why you are doing what you are doing. I am 80 and have been sewing since I was 12, and you make me want to begin another quilt, using your method of binding. :)

I use this video every single time I bind a quilt. One would think I could remember it, but alas, I have to use you as my brain. ❤️❤️❤️

Where have you been all my quilting life? I wish I would have seen this years ago. Cannot wait to try this technique.

My favorite part was how you joined the ends of the binding. Genius!

I had never seen the "iron in the X method" before. I will try this the next time I bind a quilt. Thanks for sharing.

Miss Mary Bell. My name is Marti. And I’m kind of a beginner quilt maker. And the way you have taught me to do binding is absolutely fabulous. I do it exactly how you do it step-by-step. And so far with about four or five quilts that I have made. It has worked every single time perfectly! I love you and I love your videos. Thanks again and God bless you.!!!💕💕🥰

I have tried and tried, but 2.5 inches does NOT work for me. I cut MOST of my binding strips at 3". I know, the quilt police will have me Drawn & Quartered. But they look beautiful for me this way. I put my pressed binding strip inside a plastic grocery bag and tie it loosely shut. Then, I place it in my sewing garbage pan, so the strip will feed upward to the sewing machine and out of my way. 🎉

You’ve explained that so well. I love it when someone generously shares their knowledge and experience !

So glad I found you. Just getting ready to bind a quilt and I always struggle with corners and you explained it so even a 72 year old learner could understand. now I off to bind the quilt. thanks so much.

I've been doing the final join like this for years. So simple - no expensive tools. It works every time! Thanks so much for sharing it

GREAT tip on joining the binding ends!!! When I first saw one of your videos I remember you saying [after you prepped your fabric for the project] "sew sew sew"....then you'd make an adjustment of some kind and again "sew sew sew". Adorable! You have a great voice and wonderful tutorials. Thank you!!!!! 😀

I love your teaching style! Even a beginner like me "gets it" the way you teach! Thank you so much!

This is the best binding ending I have ever seen thank you I now finally understand the finale joining of the binding

This is the most perfect binding video. Every single time.

I love your thoughts and attitude about being repetitive and then once it's in your brain it's there! I am a 75 year old lover of piecing and I am using up my stash! You teach so well🎉 Thank you ❣️❣️

Great tips! I haven't tried ironing the X at the end either but I will now. 🙂 I'm so happy to hear you encourage quilters to try this method several times before giving up! Once you get a little practice, you'll be surprised at how quickly you can bind by machine and send those quilty hugs out into the world! ♥

Hi Merry, I just started quilting this year (at the ripe age of 73) we winter in Arizona and my friends at the Park have encouraged and helped me. The binding has been the death of me, with much ripping out. I searched and seached ytube for help as I am back in my home town (without me friends!) Your video is awesome! It put everything together and my binding turned out fantastic! Thank you!

I am a beginner at quilting. And when it came to binding I would tear my hair out of frustration. I never thought I could bind....your video is the only one that I have been able to learn from. You did an amazing job teaching it and your techniques are the best. Thank you so much for bringing enjoyment to finishing a quilt.

Thank you for this video, I stumbled across it by the catchy title, and to be honest this is the best binding tutorial out there in my opinion. I love your teaching style and you are so right it works EVERYTIME!! I recommend this video to everyone of my quilting friends. Thank you again!!

Thank you for sharing your method of binding by machine. We can never have too many options in our quilting arsenal.

I absolutely love your channel! And I love watching you bind your quilts! Keep on sending us these tips. Thank you for sharing your talents. From one seamstress to another, well done!❤❤❤

wow been sewing for decades the tip to create the perfect joint at the end by ironing the X in is brilliant! thanks

This worked well. I always struggle with the cut and join part. Thanks for showing how you lay them together. I did this today and it came out right the first time-no twisted binding- no seam ripping. My project looks fantastic.😊

You are a wonderful teacher . Thank you for sharing! I hope you continue to drop videos.

Your method of joining binding is such a game changer! I love how you explain everything. So easy to understand!

Thank you! I sew, but I'm not really a quilter. Got "tricked" into sewing a quilted banner for a women's church event. I've been pouring over KZfaq videos for tips. Yours was especially helpful. As others have stated...love you're commentary!

All these years of trying to figure how to bind. Ugh. I just happened to watch this and it looks simpler when somebody is there to show you how it's done. Thank You!! I couldn't help also but notice the pretty ring on your right hand. 🥰

Over the years I've ended up doing everything the same way you show here... except finishing the binding at the end! Until now I haven't been able to get consistent results (even after buying a binding template that is supposed to simplify the process). This is the best explanation I have ever seen and I cant wait to finish my next quilt to try it out!

Here I am again watching how to bind a quilt and again it worked perfectly. Just wanted to add another thank you, I have saved this video and maybe after watching again I may remember how without referring back

Im a new quilter (at 70 years old), and after viewing several methods, yours looks the easiest. I have a quilt i need to re-do the binding on. Sooooo i will be watching this again to create a groove in my brain. 😊

I have been quilting for years, but have never mastered machine binding, your “how to “ video answered many of my questions! Thank you for showing your tips and techniques and how to make perfect binding. I just subscribed so I won’t miss any of your of your future videos! ~~Joyce

I have been enjoying quilt making for 9 years and binding was hard for me. I watched a number of video’s and some in person demo’s but I like your ‘tricks’ and your delivery and voice tone is so very easy to listen to! Thank you. You have undoubtedly helped many of us. Going to check out more of your video’s!

Oh wow what a great demo! And as others have said, I appreciate you just getting right into it. Some makers chat and ramble for 10 minutes before anything actually happens. You are the best!

Like a boss! Amazing tutorial, no blethering, just straight forward instructions. Such a time saver. The last join was a masterpiece. Thanks so much. Bookmarked for future reference. Have good days.

This is some thing I have always struggled with, and you make it look so easy! I nearly always get my ends twisted, so I’m looking forward to watching this while I bind my next quilt. So glad your strip quilt came up on my feed today ❤. Subscribed and hit the bell.

Your channel just popped up on my feed and I wasted little time in subscribing and hitting the bell so I don't miss anything. I love hearing your thought process; it's so helpful. The string quilt tutorial was excellent and I hope all your viewers will make one for themselves. It's the most enjoyable and relaxing quilt I ever made. Pure therapy. Thank you for keeping the video shorter. I only have shorter bits of time so this is appreciated.

I just have to thank you for this video! I use it every time I do a binding now and it has made my life so much easier. Your voice is the same as my aunts was and she was a sewer too so it’s fun to listen to you talk!

Oh wow. I love how you did that last joining. Perfect!!! Thanks so much.

Fabulous. Thanks. Nothing extraneous. Perfect timing for me as I have almost a dozen baby quilts to donate once they are bound (still have some machine quilting to do) and your tutorial will help give me the practice to make progress on my skills. Hooray for timing!!

Thanks for this awesome tutorial. I have just made my first quilt. I will be watching this again when I am ready to bind it. 😊

Thank for this video! I’m especially thankful for your demonstration of the bias join!! I’m now an even happier quilter!!! 🥳

Oh wow. That final join is life changing!!! Thank you!!! Beautiful.

I so appreciate your videos. I have binge watched them all. You are so genuine and direct. So easy to listen to AND you are an excellent quilter. Thank you for taking the time to film these.

FIVE attempts but finally success😊 thank you so much. Your quilts are amazing and I know why they won at the Fair😊

This makes so much sense! I love how you simplified everything.

I love doing my binding this way. Thanks for the tip of throwing it over your shoulder to keep it out of the way.

Thank you, Dawn. I always have to look this up/ joining the ends& invariably have to redo at least 3x. Your video showed me how to do it right- - being dyslexic- I usually sewed from wrong corner or twisted it. Just watched & did it! Easy- thanks! AmyLouise

For those of us who are directionally challenged, joining ends can be frustrating. It was so easy to get things backward. You are so right about the muscle memory! Once developed for every aspect of quilting, things go much faster/smoothly. I, like many, relied on on Sharon Schambers video. Your video is very straight forward an helpful and will save many time and frustration! A pair of eagle beak tweezers is an MVP on helping to get a crisp corner, as sometimes corners can be finicky. The tweezers make it easier to grip and flip--particularly if one uses

Watched this with sound off, all the way through. Everything was crystal clear! Fantastic video and expert tips, thank you!

Thank you so much for the ironing tip. Leaving that little space is what I have been missing! Thanks for sharing your gifts and talents!

I like bigger bindings too. I use 2.5" also, but i am now going to try leaving a little of the quilt showing (instead of lining up the edges of the binding and the quilt) - this is actually grading the seam "as you go", which will result in less bulk at the edge - love it! 😊

I'm starting my first quilt (a twin size for my daughter's 5th birthday), and this was very helpful!! I'm absolutely going to be using your method when I get to the binding portion. I love how you encouraged muscle memory and figuring out how to do things in a way that works for you and your brain. ❤

Creating the ‘x’ to join all the binding is new to me and I love the pinning of the quilt down so you don’t have to twist etc is brilliant! I’m definitely going to try your way next time!

Fantastic demonstration! I always have to stop and review a video on the final joining of the binding. Your method was so simple with the Xs. Thank you!

I finally got my quilt top finished and this binding tutorial worked like a charm! The way the ends went together left the nicest looking binding I've ever had! Thanks again for sharing!

One machine to rule them all, One machine to find them, One machine to bring them all, and in the darkness..... BIND them! 0.o

I always struggled with binding! Thank you for sharing your technique! Can’t wait to go home and try!

This finishing technique is SOO cool!! Thanks for sharing!

Wow! IMPRESSED! Thank you for making this so very clear and clean. This is he best demonstration of binging I have seen!

Love this tutorial! I especially like how you leave 1/4” of the backing showing. Great idea.

I have the M7 and this video was super helpful. So much to learn about this machine. Thank you!

Hands-down, the best binding video I have ever watched, I really think I can make my binding look good now thank you

Love your channel! I like this tutorial because even though I've been machine binding for about 5 years I still struggle! Thanks for the helpful tips!

Great tutorial!! I especially like the way you join the binding by making the pressed fold!! That is a game-changer!! Thank you!!

Wow! You make it look so easy!! Will definitely try this method of joining the ends. Thanks so much!

You made this method so easy to understand! Thank you for this new skill on binding

Oh thank you so much for showing and sharing! As a new person to sewing these really help more than you can imagine!

I have struggled with how to make the final join forever but now, your technique worked perfectly the first time. Amazing! Thank you so much!

Great video. I finally got my binding to lay exactly right at the last connection. Thanks for your awesome tutorial.

WHAT A CLASS ACT! Just watched the whole video! SO glad I found you! thanks so much for sharing your expertise!!

Finally, a beautiful way to sew binding ALL by Machine! Your tutorial made my LIFE!!

I’m working on my first quilt and I was so nervous about the binding but your tutorial is fantastic! I’ve watched it twice and I feel really confident making my first border. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I would watch a video of you doing anything after this. Wonderful!

Very helpful! I love the way you piece the beginning and end of the binding together so there is no lump! Why didn't I ever think of that? Thanks!

You, are a genius. When I retired I decided to make a quilt. Why not? I made said lap quilt and was stuck with the binding. Having watched loads of video's that made it way too complicated the quilt was folded and put away. I came across your video decided to have a go. First time and my binding was perfect thanks to your instruction that was straight and to the point with no excess verbiage. Than you.

I have watched a lot of videos on quilt binding and have never seen the join method you used to secure the end to the beginning. I can't wait to try it on my next quilt. It was a beautiful join!

What a good tutorial! I’ve watched so many and I still get confused but I feel like yours gives me the confidence to try again! Thank you!

Brilliant! Joking at the end is so simple. Can’t wait to try it

As a novice quilter, this is the FIRST time I've been able to follow and actually understand joining and doing corners for binding!!! MIRACULOUS, I have a small project coming up and I'm going to try it, thanks so much for sharing this! Practice practice practice for me!

This is the most detailed video I have seen on binding yet! Thank you so much! I am a beginner and I have searched and searched for information on quilt making and binding and the information I have found says it is for beginners but have left me baffled. This is video is actually for beginners and is easy to understand. Finally, thank you so much!! ❤

Oh my gosh 😊 I think I can do this now. You explained so great. I never could understand how exactly to do the miter. Thank you !!! 😊

Thank you so much for your clear, precise directions and positive attitude. Your video is so clear. I am looking forward to using your method.

Thank you. I like how you have simplified the steps and made it so much easier to understand.

This is absolutely the BEST binding video n tips on binding I have seen. Thank you

Thank you, thank you! I have struggled with binding! Your tutorial has opened my eyes to a much easier way to bind. This has made me so much happier and eager to finish my quilt.

This video just absolutely saved me! I no longer have a fear of binding quilts. Thank you so so much!

thank you! I am new to quilting but very reassured after watching you do this perfect binding.

I have watched sooo many videos about binding instruction! Your's is the easiest to understand that I have watched! Thank you sooo much!

What a fantastic tutorial! You explained everything so clearly, the camera angles were great, and by choosing such contrasting colors it made it easy to see where the binding was in relation to the quilt edge. Looking forward to trying this on my next table runner.

Wow! I mean, wow! I have promised myself to one day make my own quilt and I will definitely use your binding method when I do. It is so straightforward and you are very encouraging. I love your explanations, you have a very soothing voice like it is wrapping us in warmth, just like a quilt! This is very inspiring, thank you so much for sharing all your tips and this super video 🙏🤗

Thank you. Beginner quilter here. Just blew my mind. Finished my quilt this afternoon. Lots of errors but it looks good to me and the binding was added by machine...almost straight I might add. :)

Such efficiency and great instruction! Thank you Merry!

Thank you So much for teaching the binding technique. Appreciated the simple steps. Blessings to you 🙏🙏❤️❤️

I'm 16 years old, not the best with sewing and currently making my first quilt and I just couldn't understand binding even after watching a ton of tutorials but this finally made it so easy 🥹 thank you so much! 🫶🏼

I just finished my first quilt (age 60) & I watched all of your videos (Trip Around the World, Binding, etc.) & I LOVE my finished product! It is glorious & SO much fun to make!! I'm not a novice sewer, but for anyone looking to quilt like a pro, watch Merry Mabel videos - you are no-nonsense, get to it, practical & easy to follow for a great experience! I also have a scrappy Fence Post quilt in the works & am loving it. Wow, I'm becoming an addict and discovering a whole new world of textile art. Thank you for all of your help & inspiration - Lisa🥳
