I have watched many videos about the self-binding baby blanket. You are the first to mention the 'warp and weft' of fabrics and the better wear they receive from matching the fabrics. Thank you for that! Also, you're the first I've seen to mention pressing the blanket once the fabrics are put together before sewing the corners. Truly makes a ton of difference. The you for your videos!
Glad it was helpful Joyce! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment 🤗
I agree - I watched a couple of these self binding blanket tutorials and this one was truly the most informative and easiest to follow. Thank you for this video!!
Thanks for this video I loved it!
Thank you great video ❤❤w
Hi Stacey! This is the best video I've ever seen on the self-binding blanket. I love the way you explain everything and are so thorough. I've never heard about the warp and weft matching on the pieces..... this is great information. Thank you so much! Love watching your videos.
I want to commend you on how you go over every step. I’m a beginner and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone explain every detail like you did. I really liked the way you’re so neat, and precise. You made it seem so easy. I’m looking forward to making my niece a baby blanket for her new baby! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I will definitely be watching your other videos!
Aww thanks so much for your sweet comment! Thanks for leaving a comment - I really appreciate it 🤩
If 2 yards of each fabric are purchased, you can make 2 blankets - each fabric will be featured on the outside of one, and the inside of the other. Love this project!
Great idea Christine! Thanks so much for watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment 🤗
Thank you for giving us time to follow your directions without being in a hurry.
Thank you so much Linda 😊 I purposely try to go through the steps without missing anything out (i hope 😂) at a good pace.
yessss, I love that too 🙂 thank you

I just want to say your Donation Drive is a wonderful initiative. As an adopted person who did myself spend time in Foster Care before adoption I am one hundred percent in support of this worthwhile and kind initiative.
Now to your video this was very nice, and your instructions and explanations were both reassuring and informative. I did originally make this blanket about a year ago in flannel just after I started to learn to sew. Cutting and measuring are key to end result as well as pressing. I then made it using Minky which was challenging but for a first time sewer it did turn out okay. Now with a year of sewing under my belt and far more experience in cutting fabric and being mindful of sewing on your lines and measuring I going to make more of them for my new Grandbaby coming this fall. Thank you again for giving me the confidence to just go for it.
A huge supporter of your video and initiative from the Rocky Mountains of Canada.
That’s so awesome Marie 🤗 Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this message telling me about your childhood and your sewing journey! It makes me happy to know that you like this initiative ❤️
I really appreciate the way you explained step by step, and also the reasoning behind each step. I'm anxious to try your method and I'm confident I will succeed after watching your video.
Thank you!
You can do it! Happy sewing 🧵🤗

You are so welcome! I’m glad you found me. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment 🤗
This is a beautifully detailed instruction video. Kudos to you Stacey. You have a real talent for teaching.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words 🤗
This is sweet! The instructions were great. I will have to slow this video down a bit get all the important details, I can't wait to start this one. Thanks for sharing smuah!❤
Glad it was helpful! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment ❤️
Thank you so much Stacey, I really really enjoyed watching you create this beautiful and unique baby blanket. I love the idea of stitching 🧵 each side of the mitre which finishes it off perfectly. And the pressing is so very very important, and it makes the whole blanket look so very professional and it’s something I learnt when I was a green sewer and I’ve never forgotten it. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤ I’ve got two Juki machines and I really like the look of that foot.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment 🤗
Loved this video, so informative and exactly what I needed to make a beautiful blanket. Thank you for mentioning lining up the fabric "stretch" to match front and back and for also recommending to press the fabric again before turning. So helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🤗
Thank you for going slow enough that I can follow you. I'm new at making this type of baby blankets. I subscribed to your page.
Welcome 🤗 Thanks so much for subscribing! I really appreciate it ❤️
روعة .. لم ارى شرح مفصل وبأمانة بهذه الطريقة من قبل 🙏👏👏احسنتي 🥰😇 انا الان مستعدة لعمل واحدة مثلها 😅🎉
احببت أيضا اختيارك للالوان 👌
Thanks so much 🤗
It's absolutely amazing. Your video was so informative. Thank you for taking your time and explaining the cutting of the material. I have never seen a video show that.
What a beautiful cause to donate to. I need to look into locations to do that.
Thank you once again for sharing, showing us how to make such a beautiful baby blanket. ❤
You are so welcome Linda! I am glad it was helpful. Comfort Cases accept donation from all over the USA and send their cases to all 50 states ❤️
Really nice
Thank you! Cheers! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment ❤️
I am a new sewer. I really like how well you explain step by step,
Thanks so much Carolyn 🤗
Thank you for the detailed instructions! I have to make a baby blanket for a coworker. I learned a lot from your video. Thank you for sharing. I’m a new subscriber!!! You are a great teacher!!!
You are so welcome! I’m glad it was helpful. Thanks so much for subscribing, I really appreciate it 🤗
Nice job
Thank you! 🤩
Thank you so much Stacey Lee. Your instructions are clear and to the point.I think I can do this. This will be my 1st 1. After 6 years of invetro my niece is having her 1st baby. My sister/ her mom passed away in 2001. So I want her to have something special. Homemade with love.💜
Yes you can 👊 That’s such a thoughtful idea. You are a wonderful auntie ❤️ You can get cute “made by auntie” labels at The Little Quilting Closet online shop. I just bought some for things I made for my nieces baby.
Thank you for a great video. I’ve watched several of the self binding baby videos and yours is the best!! And I sew over my pins too. 😊 I was taught that way and I’m 60 now and never has a pin gave me trouble.
That’s good to know. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, I really appreciate it 🤗
Video was very well done and explained, thank you! I’ve made many of these, and for the summer, I make them in just a nice soft cotton. In the winter, i use flannelette!
And sometimes, I mix and match the fabrics, flannel and cotton!
Thanks so much Sue! Yes cotton would be lovely for summer 🤗
I'm a miserable seamstress, but you've made this very clear and easy to follow, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much 🙏
a patiently and lovingly explained tutorial. I have watched many videos for baby blankets but I am definitely going to follow yours to make one for my friend’s newborn baby girl. Thanks for the tutorial
Awesome! Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment ❤️
@@staceyleecreative @stacyleecreative I have a question about the sewing process. Why are you sewing the sides from the middle to the corners instead of sewing from beginning to end ? It makes since to me to do it for the side with the opening but why do it for the other sides? 🤔
Thank you so much for the tutorial, I would like you to make the same tutorial only, putting batting in between the layers..
Yes you could do that. Or just use thicker fabric like fleece or minky! 🤗
Love your tutorials. Would you happen to have a video on making comfort blankets for Hospice patients??? I know you could take these baby tutorials and just make them bigger, but I’m more of a visual learner. Thank you so much for your donation of your TIME in making these videos. God Bless.
Thanks so much!
Yes check out this list of tutorials:
czcams.com/play/PLOfuHJF5AcWG7-Y02pzBoGlyuycIYSDGb.html&si=ieFPN12V7uS-Ggck
I’m watching this again because I’m ready to make one.
I appreciate the details you gave in your video, for instance lowering the stitch length to stop exactly where we need to, not before, nor over.
I wonder if you can make one using the same method but adding batting. Is that even feasible 🤔
Thanks so much! It would be easier to just use thicker fabric like fleece 🤩
@@staceyleecreative
Right ! It’s what I have for a child blanket.
But I was thinking, what if I spray baste batting on the backing part BEFORE turning the inside out.
Like… sew it, iron it, baste the batting using spray, turn it inside out carefully, maybe iron again and quilt it with straight lines using the walking presser foot. Maybe I will try with a small one, like a table center piece just out of curiosity.
I love this!! I have the worst time getting my fabrics cut perfectly straight, and I am using fleece for this project. I'm hoping it still works 😕
Yes fleece will work too. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 🤗
I’m really hoping I’m able to do this Stacey. My wrist seems to be getting a bit better. 💖💖💖
I don’t want you to make your recovery any longer than it needs to be. Be careful ❤️
Very helpful! Written instructions from quilt shop were confusing 😊
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment ☺️
This was a great video, best method to do a nice blanket without going through all quilting steps. Thank you much !
The only thing, I won’t waste fabric cutting 40 x 40, 30 x 30 but instead use all the fabric size. If the blanket is bigger does not hurt anyone. Right ?
Because it’s a tutorial and I like to give exact instructions. You can do whatever you want to do 🤗
@@staceyleecreative
Understandable 👍😉❤️
I have not read all the comments, but your video really is the best. I am not sure if this has been addressed in the comments but, I am super frustrated because my corners are not lining up! What did I do wrong? Please advise. And thanks for a great video!
Glad it was helpful! I would say double check both pieces are square before you start. Also starting in the middle and sewing out to the edge helps reduce the movement in the fabric.❤️
I ditto all the positive comments. I’ve always been a little timid regarding the corners. I’ll be nervous but wi this excellent tutorial I should be fine. One question, I’d like to make a little heavier blanket, what other fabric would you suggest? It’s for my three yr old. Also maybe twice as big, too. I’ll Look to see if you have another vid displaying a bigger blanket. Thank you for again.
Hi, you can make it bigger, just make sure the pieces are square. You can use fleece and minky too! Most fabrics will work.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment ❤️
❤❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you for the awesome video and instructions! Can we stuff the blanket and make a quilt like self binding blanket? I really like the method in your video but want something with some bulk and weight in it. Thank you!
I would just use thicker fabric like fleece or minky 🤗
Very cute baby blanket! Love the trick for mitered corners! Question- should we quilt them also? Or just the top stitch?
Thanks so much Kim! Just the top stitch is enough because we aren't trying to reinforce any pieced pieces or batting 😊
I made one, but I used clips instead of pins cause I keep getting stuck.....LOL Very easy, Thank you
Awesome Marla! Yes clips are safer 😂 Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊
Hello Stacey Lea, love your tutorials always easy to follow.
Could you tell me where to start and stop quilting on a self binding quilt. Do I just quilt the top or do I continue to the edge of binding so that it looks neat?
Thus folding and securing the stitching.
I hope this makes sense. I would greatly appreciate your advice.
Lea from Australia
I don't quilt this baby blanket. You will find this video more helpful where I quilt a self binding quilt. czcams.com/video/_1HiCJpLe9s/video.htmlsi=6AJ8JDwps6z0_weV
Thank you so much for your reply Stacey Lea. I found your video perfect. So simple really. Love the pink and white jelly role baby quilt. I will making one of these.
Thanks again
Lea ❤️
Very nice blanket i wonder how much time did it take you to the start and finish thanks 😊
Hi, I am not really sure. Maybe an hour?
Prewashing to avoid shrinking saves a lot of headaches later. It doesn't look used after washing g
