I have done this with potholders, and getting the last bit of binding sewn to the beginning bit is actually a little harder than it is on a larger piece - just a heads up... (especially with potholder batting often being stiffer than "normal" quilt batting and usually a tighter/more dense quilt pattern).

@maryo8511 Ай бұрын

Love your no- nonsense method of teaching and explaining things simply and without drama. By that I mean the way some quilters/sewers caution too much that this or that can happen and it sounds catastrophic. You give scenarios of things that could go wrong, but it's very serene and you let us know some things don't matter, or that it's fixable. Most of us watching all these quilting videos are new to sewing, rusty, still learning or insecure about our sewing. It helps when the teacher is more matter-of- fact than cautious. Thank you.

The best design advice I ever got was, "blend, don't match". It works in all creative sewing endeavors...fabric, thread, etc. Thanks for the great video.

@carolg.6838 2 жыл бұрын

Grest advice. I probably learned in a quilting class years ago to lay the thread on the fabric as Natalie showed vs the spool. Now I work at a big box store and show the thread on the fabric to customers when they are torn on thread color.

@melanezoe 3 жыл бұрын

Great video, Natalie. Many good tips. I’ve been gluing my fold over ever since Sharon Schamber showed it when she won the big prize at International Quilt Festival years ago. One additional thing I do is sew the binding on an untrimmed quilt. I can then trim EXACTLY the distance I want from the seam line. Then I fold and glue and stitch. On the flanged binding, I often use pieces already cut at 2” (one of the sizes in my scrap stash). I sew them and fold the flange in, then trim the whole long strip to 1” or 1.25” before sewing on.

@jillbennett8334 3 жыл бұрын

Melanezoe, This is a great idea. When there is no border on the quilt I don't want the binding to overlap points along the edge (e.g., stars or triangles). I have been thinking of trimming wider than the quilt so binding comes to front without overlapping those points., but is hard to know how much batting/backing to leave. Your idea to sew the binding FIRST, then trim the batt/back is perfect. Thanks.

@melanezoe 3 жыл бұрын

@@jillbennett8334 glad it is useful, Jill. After it’s sewn on, I fold the binding in half to see how wide it really will be. That’s the amount I trim to. Usually between 1/4” and 3/8”.
