Thank you Jenny. After my son was killed in Nov of 2012 and after I could breath again, I wanted to do something special for the grandkids and his wife. I googled how to make a quilt, and there was Jenny's beautiful smiling face. After watching you for several days, (non stop) I thought "I can do this." You make it look so easy. As I found out, it isn't that easy. Well, I made 3 quilts in 12 months. Oh, did I tell you I didn't even own a sewing machine? Yep, my hubby took me down and bought me one, even tho I can't sew diddly. Well, now my 2 daughters, 2 sisters and the other 2 grandkids want one. What have I done? Jenny, you have been a HUGE part in my healing as well as the rest of his family, as they have his pictures on a quilt. I just wanted you to know what Missouri Star and your posts have done for us. Thank you dear lady. Thank you Missouri Star.
I started quilting when my oldest son graduated from high school and joined the Marines. Self taught. It is such wonderful therapy. God Bless you and your son.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Quilting is very therapeutic . Plus, seeing what you created is like nothing else, even if it can be so difficult to figure things out. I’ve made my grandchildren quilts as well. Thank goodness we have these tutorials to guide us. Jenny has come to my rescue as well with finishing the binding. It’s a beautiful thing when it works …and mine did . Enjoy quilting,👍🏻
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Decker Nickolas i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I have seen tens of these tutorials, and this woman is the best! She isn't condescending, she doesn't make me feel silly for being a beginner, she wants it easy and simple just like I do! I just love this instructor! Down to earth and to the point! ❤️❤️
After watching this video about 10 times, I was able to bind my king size quilt! I hadn't sewn this size in over 25 years. You were a lifesaver today! Thank you!
Jenny, please don’t ever stop filming quilting videos!!! 💗 You have taught me so much and I’m so grateful!! 💕🌸 May God richly bless you for all you’ve taught us!! 🌻🌼
This is seriously the best binding tutorial! No matter how many quilts I make, I ALWAYS come back and watch it. I’ve been watching this video over and over for years now. You are the best!! My quilting hero! ❤️
I hope and pray women like this will always exist. I just love the homelyness of the entire process. It takes quite a bit of intelligence to get all the fine points of quilt making or just sewing. My mom was self taught. She couldn't read or write, but she made quilts and simple clothes, curtains, pillowcases, etc. She looked at a picture and made her own patterns. At 65 I'm starting on my first quilt and will make one for each of my 3 grandkids with God's will and favor.
Jenny you will be the only one I watch when doing anything like this. I am left handed and when I watch someone right handed I just can't get it. Also how to sew the binding together at the end is amazing. I'm leaving a little more room so I know I can do it. Here it is 7 years later and we are still watching you. God bless you and Merry Christmas.
It doesn't matter how many quilts I bind, I have to come back here every time or I do it wrong. I always do the mitered corners backwards because I'm dyslexic but Jenny can walk me through it and as long as I pay attention, I get it done. Nicely. Thanks, Jenny.
Watched this video on a Sunday while the hubby was fishing. I agree with Jenny, Hallelujah and the angels sang! I was able to get a binding on! Thank you so much for this video! Amen!
Excellent tutorial, I've been quilting and sewing for more than 50 years, but still need refreshers, and this lady and her tutorials are where I always go for a reminder on how to do something.
I always find Jenny to be good at description! I have been quilting for a long time & have always had difficulty with "ending" the binding! Everyone has a "simple" way but this is by far, the easiest I have ever seen! Thank you, Jenny!! I love Missouri Star.
I bookmarked this video a few years ago and whenever I am ready to bind a new quilt, I watch it again. The camerawork is excellent and the video is WAY easier than reading directions for binding a quilt. Thank you!
The BEST! Simple, precise, do-able, easy to follow, I watch and I do it. Cannot get better than Jenny! Her humor makes me chuckle... easy to listen to, and a little humor goes a long way in learning new things. Thank you, Jenny! We love you!
Are you kidding me?! After fooling around with The Binding Tool over and over...seeing this! Jenny, hug that woman who showed you how to do this! NEVER take down this video!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I review this tutorial every time I'm going to bind a quilt. It's been invaluable for me and your delivery is so great, Jenny. Thanks for being you and doing these great videos! They have made quilting a joy instead of an experience in frustration!!!- Steph Green
I love this binding tutorial. I, too, watch it every time I go to do a binding. I couldn't do it without you Jenny! Thank you so much. The last binding I just did went on like butter.
Every time I get ready to bind a quilt I watch this. It's great. You'd think I'd remember at some point, but I'm not there yet. I hope Jenny never takes this away
You are not alone, Ladies! I review this every single time also. After we have put months and sometimes years into creating a quilt, the very last thing we want to do is mess up the binding. So Jenny, PLEASE DON'T EVER MESS WITH THIS TUTORIAL!!!!!!!
I am about to finish a quilt that should have been done over two years ago but due to circumstances it got put off. I hand quilt, so it takes me a while to complete one. Since it has been so long, I decided to come look at your binding tutorial again. Happy I did. That trick about how to handle the beginning and end seam looks easy to do. Thank you. And I couldn't remember how wide to make the binding. So 2.5" it is.
what a GREAT tutorial!! one of my friends in my quilting group told me to look to youtube for a tutorial for putting a binding on my quilt. Well this was the first one that popped up, and I have to say, she did an amazing job showing you from start to finish, every single step there is to putting your binding on your quilt!! And she spoke in easy to understand terms, made sure you could see up close what she was doing, at each new step in the process; just overall a great tutorial to watch. I will definitely save this video so that if I ever need to refer back to it, I won't have to go searching again!
I just finished binding a quilt I made for my daughter. I watched the video several times until I felt confident to do it myself. Thank you for making these videos available to those of us who are needing the support you offer!
Dearest Jenny, You made this look so easy. It took me 5 tries, 2 bouts of tears, one 2 year old temper tantrum which involved me throwing my quilt, 3 more times watching this video and FINALLY I have my binding on my quilt. Thank God for you and your endless patience and joyful manner - you make me feel like I can do anything.
This was one of the first videos I watched when I decided to try my hand at quilting a couple of years ago. Binding intimidated me but this video explains it so easily that it made me want to try it. My binding always turns out great because of your techniques. I keep this video link handy just in case I ever need to refresh my memory a bit when binding a new project. Thank you for your help.
Thank you Jenny I love all of your videos but this one I have watched over and over again. In fact, every time I need to do a binding, I watch it again for review. If I ever get to Missouri, I will seek out your shop and thank you in person for all the great tutorials that you have provided. You are an awesome woman. Susan
I have finished several quilts in the past 2 years and have watched this video every time. I am always uncertain when it comes to closing the binding but you are always there to help and reassure me. Thanks
I love watching Jenny’s tutorial,, she spoke clearly and I can understand it very well! I learn so much and easily. Thank you so much. May God bless you!
I have watches this video many times and it's helpful every time and I very much enjoy Jenny and her chatting along with the instructions, thanks again Jenny for all your help
Hi Jenny! Thank you for all your informative and interesting sewing tutorials. I basically learned how to quilt watching all your videos. This one in particular has been a constant 'go-to' for me, it's the best binding video (and way to make and attach binding) ever! Even after all these years, every time I finish attaching the two end pieces of my binding I always say..."and the mystery of binding is solved" hearing your voice in my head. Thank you so much for sharing and illustrating these helpful sewing techniques.
The best binding tutorial by far! Thanks so much, Jenny - your thorough and clear instructions are a Godsend for someone who’s just starting their quilting journey.
You can never take this video off CZcams! I come back to it again and again every time I finish a quilt. I know exactly where the description of connecting the two ends of the binding is. I need this refresher course every time. Thank you!!!
Seriously don't know what I would do without this video! Every time I do binding I think I have it and I don't, so I always come back here! Love your videos.
Absolutely the best quilt binding tutorial ever! I'm a novice quilter and using this method, I have had perfect bindings every time! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is my go to video for bindings. I always refresh myself and use this technique anytime I putting on a binding. So far it has worked out perfectly every time. Thank You.
This video is so helpful! I don't quilt enough to remember all the steps, so every time I start a quilting project I come back to check this video as a reference. And Jenny is a delight!
I am so sorry that you have lost a loved one with whom you shared the joy of sewing, and was a sewing mentor, as well as a grandmother. She has obviously given you a great legacy!
Wow! Do you know that you are the first person I have ever heard say that if you are machine binding you are supposed to sew from the backside. That's what I do now I sew from the back and machine bind. Thank you for this. I am so glad you to go back and watch many of your past tutorials. I am even using some of your past patterns. Thanks Jenny!🥰😉
LIFE CHANGING! Thanks for this. I am about to do my first binding, and now I'm excited and looking forward to it, rather than feeling intimidated and inadequate! I never in a million years would've figured out how to do this so easily or with such perfect results. Thanks especially for all the different camera angles, esp. the extreme close-ups.
I've never quilted before, but I wanted to make some mini mug rugs out of mask scraps. This video showed me exactly what I needed to know to finish them off nicely. Thank you!
Thanks for the excellent explanation & especially that trick about combining the final pieces together. So excited to spend my afternoon binding a wedding quilt that's been in the works for five years!
I just love Jenny :). She's so great. I always try Missouri Star first when buying fabric or quilting supplies online because of Jenny Doan. I'm a self taught quilter and her videos have been beyond helpful. Thank you so much Jenny!
LOVE this...now to finish my current quilt. I also noticed your Wedding Ring Quilt and I just finished mine after having it in storage for over 20 years!! And, I also used red binding like yours. The binding was an issue on that quilt but I made it through. Now I have a log cabin lap quilt to finish and it will be finished by following your very EASY instructions. Thank you so much!
Thanks Jenny!! I had never ever done a binding after many years of quilting. The time finally came so I watched this video following each step, plus your video on hanging sleeves. I was pretty nervous but stepped through the instructions and it turned out beautifully. I still need to do the hand stitching, but enjoying the after glow of success with no picking. Thank you so much!!!
I love the binding fairy reference. This hand stitching demo is priceless AND the binding tutorial is so simple and easy to understand. So many thanks.
I worried about committing almost 17 minutes to something I've done a dozen times before - BUT - totally worth it. Another great video by MSQ. Love these videos. Keep them coming.
OMG! I have always hated doing the binding, that is until now! I tried your methods, both the corners and the ending. Perfect! The big leap of faith was cutting the binding after overlapping 2 1/2". Where has this been all my quilting life!! BTW I love your tutorials. Working on a smaller version of your curvy log cabin
I've made numerous quilts but I learn from y'all still. One of these days I'll finish my binding without looking for this video again to remind me how. Works everytime!!!
Thank you, Jenny for making this an enjoyable and super learning tutorial!! Although I've been quilting for years, I'm a self taught quilter and missed a few tips along the way. You were a pleasure to watch and I really was happy you kept it "real". You even had me chuckle a few times. Thanks a bunch.
Finally! A great, no-fail way to make those binding ends meet without bulk. Thank you so much, Jenny! I wish I had come across your tutorial years ago!
Thank you for teaching me how to quilt! Just finished my first using this tutorial and feeling tremendous gratitude for the knowledge I gained watching your tutorial. Now I’m ready to bind something else! :)
Honestly, I’ve done over 15 bindings last year and I still have to watch this tutorial before I do that last bit of sewing together the ends of the binding. I still manage to twist it about 20% of the time. I take a long pin now along my sewing line first to make sure it’s going to lay correctly. Thank you Jenny!
I've been using this video for as long as I've been quilting. Just had to watch again because I forgot how to do my corners. This was the first binding instruction I ever understood.
First, I love you, Jenny!!! Went to one of your seminars in Greensboro, NC this past August and was thrilled to meet you in person. You light up the room with your smile and personality. Ok - I revisit this tutorial every time I have to sew a binding on one of my quilts, because I just don't get it. After reading a lot of the comments here, I am soooooooo glad that I'm not the only one who has a mental block about how to do this. I also start and stop the tutorial many times, rip out the seam A LOT, and then the light goes on and I get it! Biggest problem is how to turn the fabric, join and not twist it. I'll get it one of these days,. Thanks, Jenny, for all of your tutorials. I've watched so many and have learned so much.
This may be an older video, but….THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You are the first person I have found who actually specified how much fabric to cut away from the binding when you are joining the ends together. After two unsuccessful tries which left me scratching my head, you said “for a 2” wide binding, cut off 2” and I did that and my binding fit perfectly. So thank you again! Wendy
Whenever I need to know how to quilt, bind or whatever I always go to your videos. They explain things so well and I know exactly what to do. Thank you so much Jenny.
This is THE tutorial I watch every time I go to bind off a quilt. I don't get to quilt as much as I'd like and forget the details in between times and this tutorial has always been there for me and the technique has never failed.Thank you Jenny, and Missouri Star Quilting for such a useful bit of education.
Thanks Jenny! I have the same problems with seams going the wrong way so now I know how to avoid that. Also I just did a pillow kit that said to make straight binding. I didn't know to sew the strips together on the bias at the seams (the few things I ve made so far called for bias binding). Eventually, I hope to get the rules down and remember them and just sit down and sew! Love your videos and your projects.
Thank you very much for your tutorial, it's very clear, so I was able to bind the quilt for my good friend. Without your tutorial I wouldn't have made it. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪.
I have come back to this video often to help me with my binding. I find it so helpful. Two tips I’ve found helpful in my beginner's binding journey . . . Experiment with different size widths to find the one that works best for you. Mine is three inch for most things. Second, I machine sew both sides of my binding and going very slow helps me sew a better binding. When I first started, I went too fast for my skill level. I don’t have the eyes to hand sew and I don’t like how long it takes on even lap size quilts. So, I machine sew.
Jenny, if I was going to a deserted island and I one spot in my boat, you would be my honoured guest to go with me. I love your animated tutorials. I leant so much from you. Thank you for doing this .
Thank you for the great tutorial on binding a quilt. It's been years since I've quilted, and this was good to review exactly how to finish the quilt that I worked so hard on. Thank you again!
Oh my! I could watch this over and over! You have saved my life! I plan to make hundreds of quilts and you have saved me hundreds of dollars! I won't have to hire someone to do my binding! I can do it myself! And now I have taught my granddaughter.
A quilt which was started in 2008, has been completed today!! (my very first quilt from beginning to end). Thank you so much for your very easy to follow and very informative tutorials - couldn't have done it without your help.
This tutorial has been so helpful! I am working on binding my first quilt and I feel so confident with it after working through this video!! Thank you for your awesome demonstration!
I've never made a quilt before but after watching many many MSQC videos, and videos on how to use my new machine, I think I'm ready to try, Thank you for explaining everything so well!
Great tutorial Jenny, thank you. Ever since I found your tutorials, I've become addicted to them and I just love the way you teach. I live in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and even if we can't find everything to make our work easier, I manage because I love to learn.
I’m making a quilt for the first time in years and this video was such a help. Thank you, I will refer to it every time that I need binding instruction.
Hi I'm Lorenzo from Italy :) I just wanted to thank you for all of your videos because they just save my sewing every time!! Without them I would completely lost!! So big thank you to all the staff!! love ya!! 💪 👏👏👏👏👏
Jenny, thanks so much. I made a traditional 12-block quilt (by hand) and bound it with help from my quilting group. Now I'm wanting to bind something on my own, and I'd forgotten how to do it. You've reminded me with your very easy and happy video.
I love your teaching videos. I'm not a quilter, don't like sewing, but my three daughters begged me to make them quilts. Where to start? Thank heaven for your videos.. they saved me! :) Plus, you are a riot to watch-- so cute!
Jenny please please never take this video off utube!!! Every time I get to my binding I rewatch this video, and every time I relearn how to do it. Thanks so much Love from Ontario Canada
Thank you so much, Jenny! I made my first hand stitched binding on a quilt for my 1st great grand son! I have been sewing since I was 12, but NEVER attempted binding a quilt - that is until I saw your tutorial and I thought , "This is easy! " So I bought some beautiful material from Missouri Star quilt company - and being the procrastinator that I am, I waited until the very last minute to make this - why??? I've been dreading sewing this because I am a chicken! Now I am as proud as a peacock! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
I have used this video for years. Every time I bind a quilt I use this to refresh my memory. It's awesome! Thanks Missouri Star.
Same here! I rewatch every time. The best binding tutorial EVER! 😃
I do too! 😀
Me too!

Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Marcel Benicio instablaster :)
@Decker Nickolas i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.

Totally agree with you. Very natural, skilful and inspiring. Usually she also makes me smile.
I agree with you all the way. I’d love to meet Jenny ❤️
Jenny rocks!
She’s the best! I love when she says “ just zoom along the edge!”
I am a beginner as well and I couldn't do it without her and my Mom!!!!
After watching this video about 10 times, I was able to bind my king size quilt! I hadn't sewn this size in over 25 years. You were a lifesaver today! Thank you!
I have to re-watch this with every quilt.... I don't think I'll ever remember it
You're not alone. Let's hope Jenny's tutorial is always available 😊
Me too, I have to watch it every time!
Jenny, please don’t ever stop filming quilting videos!!! 💗 You have taught me so much and I’m so grateful!! 💕🌸 May God richly bless you for all you’ve taught us!! 🌻🌼
This is seriously the best binding tutorial! No matter how many quilts I make, I ALWAYS come back and watch it. I’ve been watching this video over and over for years now. You are the best!! My quilting hero! ❤️
Wow! This video is from 10 years ago. It’s exactly wanted I needed to know even in 2023!

Have been doing binding for 35 years and have never seen the way you cut the final ends. Can't wait to do it your way. Thanks.

Me do. Just finishing a quilt "All Stars" for my grandson. Now on to pillowcases using my extra fabric.
At least I am not the only person who does that.
Watched this video on a Sunday while the hubby was fishing. I agree with Jenny, Hallelujah and the angels sang! I was able to get a binding on! Thank you so much for this video! Amen!

I watch this each time to refresh myself before I bind. The machine binding one is really useful too. Thanks Jenny 👍🏻
Me too.
As well as I.
I’m a fellow lefty and your videos have helped me so much! It’s hard to find a lefty with quilting videos!! Thank you!
I love this binding tutorial. I, too, watch it every time I go to do a binding. I couldn't do it without you Jenny! Thank you so much. The last binding I just did went on like butter.
I'm doing my first ever quilt! I'm doing all my learning via youtube. These video tutorials are my go to. Thank you!
Every time I get ready to bind a quilt I watch this. It's great. You'd think I'd remember at some point, but I'm not there yet. I hope Jenny never takes this away
I'm right there with you. I need this tutorial EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Every day comes with renewed hope and new opportunities, make sure to seize them! Have a nice day!
Dearest Jenny, You made this look so easy. It took me 5 tries, 2 bouts of tears, one 2 year old temper tantrum which involved me throwing my quilt, 3 more times watching this video and FINALLY I have my binding on my quilt. Thank God for you and your endless patience and joyful manner - you make me feel like I can do anything.
Ha ha ha Kathy I'm hearing ya!!!! Glad to know I'm not the Only 1 that struggled!! Yes I agree Jenny you make it seem so easy!!! lol
We're so glad that you were able to do it!!! :) Jenny is very patient... ;)
I've cried in front of the sewing machine more than I've ever cried before in my whole life!
This was one of the first videos I watched when I decided to try my hand at quilting a couple of years ago. Binding intimidated me but this video explains it so easily that it made me want to try it.

Lights, bells and whistles indeed! Thank you Jenny!
It will
I'm so grateful that this video is still up after five years! This is the best explanation of binding I've seen. AND you're left handed like me!
You can never take this video off CZcams! I come back to it again and again every time I finish a quilt. I know exactly where the description of connecting the two ends of the binding is. I need this refresher course every time. Thank you!!!

😂 I keep coming back again to this same video myself! Ha ha!
This was extremely helpful! Thank you! Now that my grandma has passed, I cannot ask her anymore. I really appreciate this! All the best.
I am so sorry that you have lost a loved one with whom you shared the joy of sewing, and was a sewing mentor, as well as a grandmother. She has obviously given you a great legacy!
Wow! Do you know that you are the first person I have ever heard say that if you are machine binding you are supposed to sew from the backside. That's what I do now I sew from the back and machine bind. Thank you for this. I am so glad you to go back and watch many of your past tutorials. I am even using some of your past patterns. Thanks Jenny!🥰😉
My best teacher thru the years❤️I’m still watching your video every time I bind . Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
LIFE CHANGING! Thanks for this. I am about to do my first binding, and now I'm excited and looking forward to it, rather than feeling intimidated and inadequate! I never in a million years would've figured out how to do this so easily or with such perfect results. Thanks especially for all the different camera angles, esp. the extreme close-ups.
I've never quilted before, but I wanted to make some mini mug rugs out of mask scraps. This video showed me exactly what I needed to know to finish them off nicely. Thank you!
Thank you for helping me bind my quilt. I always hated binding until your your tutorial! Thank you again for making it so easy!!
Thanks for the excellent explanation & especially that trick about combining the final pieces together. So excited to spend my afternoon binding a wedding quilt that's been in the works for five years!
You are HANDS DOWN my favorite tutorial person. You've given me so many "Ahh Haa- Light Bulb going off Moments! Thank you.
I just love Jenny :). She's so great. I always try Missouri Star first when buying fabric or quilting supplies online because of Jenny Doan. I'm a self taught quilter and her videos have been beyond helpful. Thank you so much Jenny!
LOVE this...now to finish my current quilt. I also noticed your Wedding Ring Quilt and I just finished mine after having it in storage for over 20 years!! And, I also used red binding like yours. The binding was an issue on that quilt but I made it through. Now I have a log cabin lap quilt to finish and it will be finished by following your very EASY instructions. Thank you so much!
Thanks. I have a quilt that I pieced 26 years ago. I finally got the quilting done and now need to bind. You have taught me a lot.
Thanks Jenny!! I had never ever done a binding after many years of quilting. The time finally came so I watched this video following each step, plus your video on hanging sleeves. I was pretty nervous but stepped through the instructions and it turned out beautifully. I still need to do the hand stitching, but enjoying the after glow of success with no picking. Thank you so much!!!
I’m getting ready to bind my first quilt- thank you so much for providing this video, I actually believe I can get this task done now. 🙂
I refer back to this video every time I get to the binding stage. Which is why I'm here now. Best tutorial ever! Thank you!
I love the binding fairy reference. This hand stitching demo is priceless AND the binding tutorial is so simple and easy to understand. So many thanks.
I worried about committing almost 17 minutes to something I've done a dozen times before - BUT - totally worth it. Another great video by MSQ. Love these videos. Keep them coming.
OMG! I have always hated doing the binding, that is until now! I tried your methods, both the corners and the ending. Perfect! The big leap of faith was cutting the binding after overlapping 2 1/2". Where has this been all my quilting life!!
BTW I love your tutorials. Working on a smaller version of your curvy log cabin
I just finished my six quilt since 2018. Every time I search for this exact tutorial.
Thank you Jenny, SIX times! Ellen 4-2024
Thanks Jenny for this tutorial. I come back again and again to view it, every time I have a quilt to finish. It's a gorgeous tutorial, very useful!
I've made numerous quilts but I learn from y'all still. One of these days I'll finish my binding without looking for this video again to remind me how. Works everytime!!!
Joyce Burrill EVERY SINGLE TIME, RIGHT!!!
Yep, same here! LOL
Same here. Did it again today.
Me too
Just watched this video again for the Nth time! :)
Thank you, Jenny for making this an enjoyable and super learning tutorial!! Although I've been quilting for years, I'm a self taught quilter and missed a few tips along the way. You were a pleasure to watch and I really was happy you kept it "real". You even had me chuckle a few times. Thanks a bunch.
Jenny is an excellent instructor! She is precise, methodical and slow to explain and show us what to do! Thank you Jenny!
Finally! A great, no-fail way to make those binding ends meet without bulk. Thank you so much, Jenny! I wish I had come across your tutorial years ago!
This tutorial is such a valuable resource. I love being able review it whenever I'm binding another quilt. Thanks!
Thank you for teaching me how to quilt! Just finished my first using this tutorial and feeling tremendous gratitude for the knowledge I gained watching your tutorial. Now I’m ready to bind something else! :)
Honestly, I’ve done over 15 bindings last year and I still have to watch this tutorial before I do that last bit of sewing together the ends of the binding. I still manage to twist it about 20% of the time. I take a long pin now along my sewing line first to make sure it’s going to lay correctly. Thank you Jenny!
Hi Teri, how's your day going with you?
Hi Teri The best way to start a day is waking up early in the morning and enjoying nature with a cup of coffee.
I've been using this video for as long as I've been quilting. Just had to watch again because I forgot how to do my corners.
This was the first binding instruction I ever understood.
First, I love you, Jenny!!! Went to one of your seminars in Greensboro, NC this past August and was thrilled to meet you in person. You light up the room with your smile and personality. Ok - I revisit this tutorial every time I have to sew a binding on one of my quilts, because I just don't get it. After reading a lot of the comments here, I am soooooooo glad that I'm not the only one who has a mental block about how to do this. I also start and stop the tutorial many times, rip out the seam A LOT, and then the light goes on and I get it! Biggest problem is how to turn the fabric, join and not twist it. I'll get it one of these days,. Thanks, Jenny, for all of your tutorials. I've watched so many and have learned so much.
Thank you so much Jenny! I was really stressing about binding my quilt and then you made it so easy!
Thanks to Jenny’s explanations, I succeeded to join both ends of the bias after it was sewn around the quilt. Real good quilting teacher.
This may be an older video, but….THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You are the first person I have found who actually specified how much fabric to cut away from the binding when you are joining the ends together. After two unsuccessful tries which left me scratching my head, you said “for a 2” wide binding, cut off 2” and I did that and my binding fit perfectly. So thank you again! Wendy
Whenever I need to know how to quilt, bind or whatever I always go to your videos. They explain things so well and I know exactly what to do. Thank you so much Jenny.
Oh my gosh, the Stars just aligned on how to “get it together” on the finishing of my binding.
I Love You! Thank You Jenny Doan ❤️
This is THE tutorial I watch every time I go to bind off a quilt. I don't get to quilt as much as I'd like and forget the details in between times and this tutorial has always been there for me and the technique has never failed.Thank you Jenny, and Missouri Star Quilting for such a useful bit of education.
Thank you so much Jenny! You are the perfect teacher. You make it look do-able for a beginner like me
!
Thanks Jenny! I have the same problems with seams going the wrong way so now I know how to avoid that. Also I just did a pillow kit that said to make straight binding. I didn't know to sew the strips together on the bias at the seams (the few things I ve made so far called for bias binding). Eventually, I hope to get the rules down and remember them and just sit down and sew! Love your videos and your projects.
2020 found this tutorial this year. What a great help! I have bound 5 quilts using this technique. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your tutorial, it's very clear, so I was able to bind the quilt for my good friend. Without your tutorial I wouldn't have made it. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪.
I have come back to this video often to help me with my binding. I find it so helpful. Two tips I’ve found helpful in my beginner's binding journey . . . Experiment with different size widths to find the one that works best for you. Mine is three inch for most things. Second, I machine sew both sides of my binding and going very slow helps me sew a better binding. When I first started, I went too fast for my skill level. I don’t have the eyes to hand sew and I don’t like how long it takes on even lap size quilts. So, I machine sew.
Jenny, if I was going to a deserted island and I one spot in my boat, you would be my honoured guest to go with me. I love your animated tutorials. I leant so much from you. Thank you for doing this .
Wishing a wonderful day to my amazing friend! Hope you find success and happiness wherever you go.
Hi Teresa how are you doing today?
Thank you for the great tutorial on binding a quilt. It's been years since I've quilted, and this was good to review exactly how to finish the quilt that I worked so hard on. Thank you again!
Oh my! I could watch this over and over! You have saved my life! I plan to make hundreds of quilts and you have saved me hundreds of dollars! I won't have to hire someone to do my binding! I can do it myself! And now I have taught my granddaughter.
Hi Donella, how's your day going with you?
Every day comes with renewed hope and new opportunities, make sure to seize them! Have a nice day!
Jenny you're awesome! Couldn't have completed my quilt without your help! Thank you! 😁
A quilt which was started in 2008, has been completed today!! (my very first quilt from beginning to end). Thank you so much for your very easy to follow and very informative tutorials - couldn't have done it without your help.
Isn't that such a wonderful feeling? Love it!! :)
Congratulations
I like watching Missouri Stat Quilt. The make it loks simple. They swow lots of short cuts. Make hard petterns much more easy.
This tutorial has been so helpful! I am working on binding my first quilt and I feel so confident with it after working through this video!! Thank you for your awesome demonstration!
I so enjoy watching your videos. You are down to earth and normal and explain things in such an easy manner. Thank you!
I've never made a quilt before but after watching many many MSQC videos, and videos on how to use my new machine, I think I'm ready to try, Thank you for explaining everything so well!
Glad we could start you on your quilting journey, Melissa!
Thanks so much, that’s the most perfect binding tutorial ever and your way of explaining everything is just the loveliest. From Italy with love.
This is by far the best way to bind a quilt, it's so easy and take so much less effort.. THANK YOU
Faron Smith Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Great tutorial Jenny, thank you. Ever since I found your tutorials, I've become addicted to them and I just love the way you teach. I live in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and even if we can't find everything to make our work easier, I manage because I love to learn.
I’m making a quilt for the first time in years and this video was such a help. Thank you, I will refer to it every time that I need binding instruction.
I tried this on a lap-size quilt and it worked THE FIRST TIME! I am so shocked and excited! Thank you so much!
+Susan Castelletti you are so welcome! :)
Hi Susan, how's your day going with you?
Hi I'm Lorenzo from Italy :) I just wanted to thank you for all of your videos because they just save my sewing every time!! Without them I would completely lost!! So big thank you to all the staff!! love ya!! 💪 👏👏👏👏👏
+Lorenzo Donato you are so sweet!! So glad that you enjoy them and find them helpful :)
I've watched this vid over and over. SO appreciate your tutorials, Jenny! TY!!
Jenny, thanks so much. I made a traditional 12-block quilt (by hand) and bound it with
help from my quilting group. Now I'm wanting to bind something on my own, and I'd
forgotten how to do it. You've reminded me with your very easy and happy video.
Thank you, Jenny. This tutorial is so understandable, I think I can do it.
I love your teaching videos. I'm not a quilter, don't like sewing, but my three daughters begged me to make them quilts. Where to start? Thank heaven for your videos.. they saved me! :) Plus, you are a riot to watch-- so cute!
+Jennifer Ericksen Thank you so much! You'll be a quilter in no time! ;) Let us know if you have any questions along the way!!
Jennifer Eri🐽😉🐤🕺👬👣👣👮👣👣👥cksen 😯
Missouri Star Quilt Company hh.
So do you make quilts now after making them for your daughter’s? Just curious 🤔
Jenny please please never take this video off utube!!! Every time I get to my binding I rewatch this video, and every time I relearn how to do it. Thanks so much Love from Ontario Canada
Thank you so much, Jenny! I made my first hand stitched binding on a quilt for my 1st great grand son! I have been sewing since I was 12, but NEVER attempted binding a quilt - that is until I saw your tutorial and I thought , "This is easy! " So I bought some beautiful material from Missouri Star quilt company - and being the procrastinator that I am, I waited until the very last minute to make this - why??? I've been dreading sewing this because I am a chicken! Now I am as proud as a peacock! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
