This is the most understandable tutorial I have seen yet! Thanks so much for helping me see exactly how this is done.

...that extra iron on the binding, to make the X Marks the Spot... oh my goodness, why have I never thought to do that? This is why I love your channel and videos! You have a thinking out of the box brain...that can figure out all the fabric goodness for us...then we can just watch your videos, and practice what you have already learned to do! Love it! Happy Canada Day! From beautiful Fraser Valley, B.C., Canada!❤

This is so helpful! Thank you!

Fantastic video! Thanks for showing us this technique!! I try to avoid “hand” anything at all cost, in the sewing room. But this (almost) SEAMS doable….. I love your pep talks during the tutorials; I look forward to them❣️ Happy Canada Day (today) for us! xoxoxo e. NB 🇨🇦

I want to thank you for your informative tutorials!! I love your channel. Been here since beginning

I have a binding method with the folded corner clipper that I’ve used for years BUT wish I had know about your ironing method prior. That is genius.

Well dang, that magic pin makes a huge difference. Excellent. Thank you!

Yes. Agreed!

Oh my gosh I can’t wait to put binding on my finished pieces 😂yes I say pieces cause there’s multiple as I hate the binding process but this looks so manageable ❤ THANK YOU!!

Awesome funny how we just keep doing what we were originally taught - this is a great option love to have a use for narrower strips as well

Beautiful quilt! Thank you for sharing this binding technique!

You are so welcome!

I have worked hard to master machine binding, but hand binding is my jam! Joining my binding with your x marks the spot method has been such a pleasure since learning a few months ago. Thanks for your videos.

I LOVE every video you release, Thank You!! 🤗

You learn something new every day! I love hand stitching the binding to the back. I use very tiny whip stitches. I do like your method of using a blind stitch, kind of reminds me of a ladder stitch. I hadn’t seen the x marks the spot tip before. Thanks.

It is so fun to watch how you do things just a bit differently from me. Makes me want to try it your way! Thanks.

Great x idea thanks

Hand binding holds a happy little place in my heart. It's not used too often by me but it is used when I'm making a quilt full of love for a grandchild. Thanks for the reasoning behind single and double binding!

Thank you for the "X marks the spot" trick! I've not seen that before and of course, I need to go watch Binding like a Boss (which I go find next!). I have bound many quilts using this method of 1-1/2" strips. For me its a time saver. I do have arthritis, but prefer pins over the clips.

What a wonderful tutorial! The binding method is amazing. I don’t usually hand bind but this method sure make it look easy. 🙏🏻

If we do it this way we will be bound... to succeed. ;)

Another great tutorial, although I find hand sewing intimidating.

It'll stop being intimidating after a little practice and muscle memory is gained. (This I say from experience!)

Beatiful!!! Your videos are máster class. Can I ask, why we end so thirsty after sewing?😇😊

Thank you, great video. What scissors & size scissors were you using when you cut your binding strips after attaching them?

Nice, Clear demo. Do you have special hints in French binding points of stars?

@merrymabelmarket

Not really special. Just relax and practice. Fold further than you think you will need.... and it seems to work better. Best wishes!

How long (secure) does the binding hold when hand sewing? I have a king sized quilt I need to do this to soon.

I've had quilts for years and years without a single problem. I do this binding on my own larger quilts when they are for my beds.
