I love Jennie. No unnecessary yakking. Just sweet and to the point. I have watched so many videos where you simplify the project. I’d love to come out to Missouri Star Quilt and chat with you. At 87 years old I’m no longer keen on long distance auto trips. But keep up the good work with you and your staff. I love your life story and your family run business. Keep well. You have a wonderful personality and a terrific sense of humor.
For WOVEN like cotton or flannel: Sew a finished hem all the way around on the larger piece BEFORE you cut the 45 angle. Just do the same method of adding the 6 inches for the border, then add an additional 1/2 inch FOR EACH SIDE. (BACKING SHOULD BE 13 INCHES LARGER TOTAL). Do this BEFORE you cut the angle corners, fold the 1/2 under and sew a single fold hem all 4 sides. That gives you finished edges with the raw edge to be inside. Then cut the 45 angle and sew as in the vid. This way all raw edges are finished so they are inside and you will have a folded edge and can use any fabric that would otherwise ravel. Then proceed with the remaining instructions. Be sure to sew that hem straight as it will show on the top of the project.
+Livinnpjs Thank you for that instruction. I was going to ask Jenny what to do to finish the edge when using regular fabric. Now I have my answer. Thank you!!
Thank you! Just made one out of flannel, with strips of flannel on the smaller one. Do you HAVE to make it square though? Couldn't you make this rectangle, just making sure you add 6" or 6-1/2" (depending on fabric) to the two different size sides?
+Charlie Wagner I would think that you certainly could do a rectangle and just make sure to maintain the same width border all the way round. If you pieced fabric you could make a large one.
Yes, you can. I made a couple the "old" way -LOL - using some tops I had already made that were rectangles. Then I just decided how wide I wanted the border when the blanket was completed and did the math. I made the border wider than in the tutorial. Love this technique. It makes making baby blanket so quick.
Wow. Awesome. I'm going to try rectangles also. Thanks!!
I don't understand why people click "Dislike". These tutorials are fun, funny and great learning experiences.
Shary Albaugh it just boggles the mind, doesn’t it? What’s not to love and appreciate about this channel and the fantastic tutorials? ❤️
Shary Albaugh I knw right
I wonder if some are just a mistaken click? Meant for a like?
I agree 100%. Love having access to all these tutorials.
It's the hand quilting snobs. Lol can never win them over.
Want to add, I love your method of repeating things several times. I need that!
This would be a great way to make placemats too with pre-quilted fabric and cotton backing. Thanks for your simple way of doing it. My favorite since I’m a beginner
I made this “blanket” for our grandson to use at daycare. I use Minky I had for several years, and kept putting off making something out of it. I know Minky stretches and slides, and because of that, the blanket wasn’t perfect, but my son and daughter in law loved it! I added a pocket and embroidered his name on it with my great Babylock embroidery machine, so now he can put a favorite toy in the pocket! Killian is 16 months old and Monday he ‘graduates’ to the Toddler 1 room, so he’ll nap on a pallet and cover up with his blanket. When it arrived in the mail, he hugged it!
This was my first “quilt” sewing project many years ago by following Jennys instructions on the original self binding video with one of your guests. Im so glad to its still inspiring new sewers. For you newbees out there! Stick with Jenny! I can now sew her large quilt projects and made many newborns warm and happy with this blanket! I use this technique now to make pet blankets which my friends love for their dogs and cats! Much love Jenny! Im in Canada but its on my bucket list to visit your store one day! 🤩
Jenny I am so glad I found this new way to bind these receiving blankets as I am going to have 5 new great grand child between January and February of 2019 and I need all help I can get. I love your tutorials. I am learning so much from you. Thank you
Hi Jenny! This baby blanket is so easy and cute and adorable! We love how you show that it can be made in so many different ways- and with different types of Cuddle® or our Embrace® double gauze too! A few others things to note might be to let everyone know a few more insider tips ;): they can use a stretch needle, a longer stitch length, and a walking foot or even feed foot- if they have one. Thanks for another great Cuddle sewing tutorial! Hugs with Cuddle®
Hello! How to buy this fabric?
This was my first video watching Jenny! And fell in love with her right away! I never miss her videos!❤❤❤
“That pin’s had a life!” Haha, I love it!
So…not even a walking foot?
To stop the minky from moving - use a walking foot. To hide the raw edges turn 1/2 or 1 inch under before sewing the corner pieces. Then turn under while pinning between corners.

@@ritaseybert3692 WTF THIS BITCH IS CRAZY!
@@muffemod or her little one got ahold of her phone
Thank you for finally mentioning the "raw edges", which can be a problem with flannel and not using a tight zig zag. I will be turning under!
Good idea. When I sew the corners I stop 1/2" from the end and that way when I turn right side I just press the edges under before adding my center.
i watch ALOT of your videos - YOU ARE A WONDERFUL TEACHER
I totally agree with the previous post - my oldest granddaughter is 12 - youngest 2 - I work at JoAnn Fabrics - I had the worst luck with minky, lost count of how many projects I threw away - after watching this tutorial I've made 6. Further, the Missouri Start Quilt Company instructors don't have the "chat chat chat" about inane details. These are straight forward, easy to follow, and I'm able to print the pdf to take to my machine with me!!
I wish I could thumbs this up a million times. I think I found my first sewing project. Took you 10 minutes, will take me 3 hours. Haha!
MsDinoGal ❤️❤️
Ha, it took me two solid evenings and was crooked and skewed weirdly. I did not enjoy this project at all. 😩
well that's much faster than I accomplished it I've tried my best to cut a 30 inch square and a 36 inch square for about 4 hours now....then I see I needed to sew a finished hem all the way around the large piece Before I cut the 45 angle. So a little to late too hem first.....a finished blanket is better than an unfinished right?
@@annalawson2957 I hope I can complete this tonight...its on 10pm, so still early :)
@@danaellzey2478 good luck. 😉
You could also sew a small hem around all 4 sides of the back fabric before you cut the corners.
(For all of the rest of us OCD people who just can't stand the thought of an "unfinished edge")
I was just thinking the same thing! Lol
+crafty mom
I was also thinking the same thing... especially using flannel or other fabrics that fray.
Leone Nera
Pleased you have mentioned finishing the edges that was bothering me! X x
Really wish I would have read your comment before I started! I have to go back and finish those edges. Thanks for the tip!
i just loved how you did those mitered corners. I did it without using the cuddle fabric and it was a fantastic way of doing the corners. Love you Jenny!!
Thank you for this tutorial, Jenny! Today I took the plunge and made a self binding baby quilt with your terrific instructions. I'll use this method from now on. Quite proud of myself!
I've been a great fan of you, Jenny, for ages ! Thank you so much from over the oceans (I am a European - Belgium) for your adorable tutorials and your smile. I can't wait for the next video. THANK YOU ! THANK YOU !
Loved this!! I used flannel, so I folded under 3/8" of the bottom fabric (added an additional 3/4" to the backing piece) and pressed before cutting corners. Then I top stitched the top and bottom pieces together. SO CUTE! And easy! Thanks for sharing!!!
I just love that self binding cuddle blanket, I think it will also make a good cuddly older kids quilt. I'm going to have a go!
I used basting spray to hold layers together to make it easier for my granddaughters to sew.
Thank you! A new baby in the family what a perfect gift!
Made this out of flannels. Cot the big piece 37” square instead of 36, Ironed it down 1/2” on all sides and then proceeded per directions. Just sewed it down with zig zag stitch, turned out great, sew easy!
I bought a new sewing machine tonight im just proud of myself for being able to thread it lol
Tara W I understand
You're cute!
this is hilarious
10 years ago, I did the same thing. I had to have my sister thread it, then next time, thread it. I've come a long way. You will too!! Keep going.
Suggestion: when giving these as gifts, offer them in two different sizes. First size for a newborn to six months, the second size much larger. That blanket they will bond to and drag around the house until they're age 10. Otherwise "blankie" gets small way too fast and the fabric is impossible to obtain by the time you realize your child has an attachment to a particular blanket or quilt. Qute project. Thumbs up.

Brilliant!! :)
I made a couple for my niece. They were so easy and fun to make. I used to same technique to make a quilt. The self-binding feature is my new favorite!
Absolutely Love this blanket. We are expecting our first set of Great Grandbaby's, and I'm making these!! We are so excited. Thank You Jenny for this tutorial!!!
Thank you so much for posting this updated version. So much easier to follow. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this. I knit and crochet but blankets take me forever so sewing them it's way faster. I will make blankets for my loved ones this way. God bless you 💕
I appreciate these videos, being a Grandma babysitting grandchildren and supervising remote learners they are direct get to the point and stir the imagination. I can watch one during coffee break and these make it so much easier than running down to a class if it can still be done.
Thank you for the tutorial, very helpful! I was grateful for the clear explanation of how cut the corners off using the 45* angle. Love the way mine turned out!
Ohhh I love this, looks so easy. I have been wanting to make blankets to donate to project Linus & to the hospitals in my area this will make it very easy. 😍 I love cuddle fabric.
I believe when Jenny says to make sure your fabric is square what she means is you have 90 degree corners.
I love the way you teach. You are so warm. Thank you!
You give me confidence just by your to the point instructions, Thank You
I swore I wasn't going to make one of these. I'm new to sewing. EVERY video I've seen on the self binding blankets was more complicated than I cared to deal with. Then when I wasn't looking (the videos were set to auto-next), your video on self-binding blankets came up. I DECLARE now, I AM going to make one. You made what seemed so complicated, so simple. THANK YOU A MILLION!!!! Now I have to scroll through your channel and see what else I can learn ;-)
That is great news!! Please let us know if you have any questions, we would love to help in any way that we can! :)
I'm new to sewing, too. So far I've only made aprons lol I'm not a huge fan of bias binding, even though I've got the foot. It doesn't like me. So, I'm trying my first blanket and this seems like something I can attempt and possibly succeed! She makes it seem easy. The rest of the videos I watched made me want to give up!
Sarah Smith
Sarah Smith I felt the same. and then i saw this vid. I am saved. 🐝
I made one with chenille and flannel as a baby gift. I love the easy version you've shared. Thank you!
Jenny, thank you so much for this excellent tutorial. I did what you said to see if I could actually do it. I used two fat quarters as my test fabric. It turned out beautifully and so sew easy. I wish I could post a picture. I love watching all your wonderful, helpful, and entertaining videos with your quick wit. Thanks a gazillion!
I absolutely love making these this way, it truly does only take a few minutes.
So cute, I love it! This will be a perfect project for me. I am a busy student/stay at home mom and I want to sew something new for my daughter due in April. Thanks for the tutorial!
I think this is a great way to add the backing and border to one of my crazy quilts!!!
+Darlene Michaud Me too!!

I was actually looking for a way to use blankets for a quilt I just finished and spied this by Jenny. Awesome idea...I'm going to make a stack of these.
Loved this so quick, easy and simple. Even beginner sewers can do. Thanks for sharing.
Just yesterday I bought 10 yards of cuddle fabric to make baby quilts for a pro-life organization in Israel, Be’ad Chaim. And today, this video displays in my CZcams list. How cool is that?!
Holy smokes, I LOVE you! You just made my life so much easier.
It is great that you find out how to make this even easier! Thank you! I love your videos Jenny! It just arrive in the perfect time, one of my friends is receiving a baby pretty soon!
Great idea, love the subtitles on the screen, and no unnecessary talking at the beginning, Jenny just gets on with it.
i love it, that pins had a life. no matter how famous jenny's become she still reuses those pins till there's no life left. thank you jenny for staying humble. love the tutorial as well. that technique looks like it should work with the border brought over when using your backing with any fabric
Thinking I could use this project for some placemats, larger trivots, etc., can't wait to try some!
Was thinking the same
Mind = Blown! I cannot WAIT to try this! Thank you so much for putting this out in the universe!
It's so simple and so soft and cuddly!
OMG!!! i have made sooo many of the selfbinding baby blankets the other way and loved them all but i am sooo happy for thie easier version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you Jenny and staff! Purchased fabric last night and made one last night! I can't post a picture yet, it's a gift. I have avoided the cuddle fabric but I went for it.........and used "a lot" of pins!!!
awesome as never had done it before and always wondered how to do it. Thanks Jenny
Great tutorial! I have made several baby blankets from your first tutorial. This makes it even easier! Thank you Jenny and Everyone from MSQC!
+Coldfusion1205 isn't it so easy!?! LOVE the Cuddle fabric with it :)
OMG I am in LOVE with this way!!! I am new to quilting and I will tell you I am going to do this one next for sure!!!
Absolutely awesome! Went to do a self binding baby blanket and found this, even easier then before! 💖
I would love a video about how to cut the big squares.
It looks so easy, thanks for showing this. I have a great deal of trouble sewing on bias binding, mostly the mitred corners, they're a nightmare!!
So glad you like it!
OMG I LOVE THIS CONSTRUCTION OF THIS BLANKETS
OMG Jenny, Even easier than the first blanket you taught me in flannel. Love it.
Oh my gosh I can't wait to try this!! I'm new to sewing. Iv made 3 blankets for my boys and a random pillow case when I was trying out patch work. Iv always wanted to try this but I dare not because it made my head spin! But this I understood!! Thank you! I wish I knew you personally so I could practice with you!
We hope you enjoy making this quilt Kimytaf! Happy quilting! :)
Fun project to make, thanks Jenny! To anyone making it, I would recommend pressing the border down before putting the center in, and using wonder clips instead of pins. Also, before doing the corners, I did a 1/2 in. hem stitch all the way round (as a commenter recommended, because I'm OCD about raw edges lol!) and I sewed along the corner pocket 45 degree line before I cut the corner. That way, if you make an error and have to take out the seam, you haven't ruined the fabric.
What is OCD that many are expressing. I ‘m confused: some are talking stretchy and unravelling material. Can you explain further on the last 45-degree cutting and stitching. Also does turning under 1/2 inches all around makes the center fabric smaller? Newie at this.
This has to be the easiest project that I've seen on here, and I love the fabrics!
I love this idea!! It's a great first floor blanket for baby!! Or for the cold winters ride. Thanks Jenny.
I just love love your vidio's
I made placemats this way and turnout great
Placemats? What an ideal? Did you use the 3 inch concept?
Wanted to say thank you, I made one of these last night and it's perfect!
Fell in love with this idea, now after reading the pattern and watching this tutorial I can't wait to do this tomorrow!!!
OMG Jenny always makes it look like so much fun.. then I get in the kitchen and try to make it work. I thought to myself" I could be having as much fun as Jenny if I started with squares of fabric also. I am having a devil of a time getting my cuddle fabric to square up. will look this up on you tube to see if someone has some helpful hint to make it easier!! yikes!
Luanna Pierce I can get my cuddle square but not my double gauze
This fabric and and I are not friends. I went on the Cuddle site and did everything that they said: stretch needle, larger stitch length, using my walking foot, etc. it helped but it did not help the experience. I am just going to have to say no Cuddle fabric for me. I found it disappointingly frustrating to sew with.
This looks like a place to use your walking foot!
I just want to say this is the best video on how to make these. I've watched other ones and it was confusing. so THANK YOU
Thank you Jenny
Bless you for teaching me to make this type of baby blanket
A bigger one would be nice and it could be tied, also quick and easy. I like this.
That would be great!
I love this method!! Thank you for sharing this with us. I have made a few already because they are so much fun and so easy to make. Im using cuddle fabric and I was wondering what angle would you cut the corners when making a rectangular quilt?
I was at the Smithtown Stitchers (NY) show this past weekend and I saw a lovely quilt that Missouri Start Quilt Co had quilted. It was a beautiful quilting job, and when I make a larger quilt, you'll be my long arm quilter of choice.
I was feeling uneasy about stitching over the raw edge but it works! Like Jenny said, the cuddle cloth (or minky) is very forgiving. A great pattern!!
Have you done this technique as a rectangle? Same or some alteration to the formula?
Excited about this tutorial! When my hubby hears the QUACK then hears me laughing he asks, "Is that the funny quilt lady"? Will the corner method work on a rectangle shape? Or it has to be square?
I don't see why it wouldn't work on a rectangle.
Try a little sample with scraps.
(like a mug rug size)
it will work great still! :)
The
you saved my life with this binding technique!
Thank you so much!!
All other tutorials never mentioned the size of squares used. I will be making some of these as I have 3 more Great grandchildren coming in 2022! I will have a total of 10. So blessed.
I absolutely love these for gifts, would you ever either tie them or tack them down in the center just to keep them from pulling up?
Yes, that’s bugging me too! Even just one long vertical stitch line and one horizontal might do it.
Can this be made oblong. If so, how would I measure for that?
I was given a sew machine as a gift. Never bother to take it out the box. After watching this video I’m up to to make some baby blankets.....With this project I can learn to sew & practice sewing straight lines! Woooohoooo!!!!! I’m excited to give it a go! Thank you for sharing!!!!
YOU ARE FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!!! That is brilliant!!!! I've GOT to make some of these for my nephews babies!!!!
Would this work with flannel instead of cuddle cloth?
Yes, she mentioned that during the video. I'm making both!
wow.that was quick, I bet I.could.make.it.in at least three days.hahah
It is a super quick project, I've made 2 1/2 yard sized ones in an hour!
thank you for making this a great 1st timer baby blanket! Very easy to do! Thank You for your video...looking forward for more!
This was a fun baby quilt to make. Had mine cut and completed in a little over an hour!!
Will somebody come square up my cuddle fabric for me lol?
you can do it, Welshwitch! Just remember, finished is better than perfect! :)
She says it has to be a square, but can it be a rectangle???? If no, why couldn’t it?
I'm going to test this easy technique on my rectangular cotton quilt top. ANd see what happens.
Bonnie, did you get clarification? If not, I think what Jenny meant was, the quilt has to be 'squared', meaning the corners have to be 90 degrees. If you have anything parallelogram...'wonky', then everything else will be off. You can have a rectangle that is 'squared', that is 90 degree angles.
I was wondering the same thing
I love watching your video's, I hope they will always be free on CZcams, you have taught me so much
Love Jenny she’s so easy to understand
Cuddle cloth is not my friend, I’m sad to say. I know it has a fan following, but I am going to have to be in the minority on this one. I made the first self binding baby quilt with the Cuddle cloth and have never been so disappointed...and it was expensive fabric! It’s the devil to sew with. So I stopped, watched more CZcams’s, read everything I could about sewing with Cuddle cloth, and tried again. It was better but still did not suit me as “gift- giving quality”....my problem, I realize. I think, Jenny, you had a little difficulty as well, as you really didn’t show-off the self binding quilt you sewed; you put it under the desk and brought out another. I am determined to finish one baby blanket that I would be happy to give as a gift. But I know, that I will never sew with that fabric again...for me, sewing is a joy...not the frustration this experience was. I just wanted to be up-front with folks about the fabric. I love your CZcams instructions; enjoyed the retreat at MSQC and all the great shopping; I think BLOCK magazine is superior to all other quilt magazines on the market; MSQC simply rocks! But I going to part ways with this fabric. I think I will try a flannel and see what happens. Wish me luck!
thanks for this in depth review of the cuddle fabric. I am going to try this simplified even easier self-binding technique - but with flannel, fleece and cotton. Fabrics already stashed at my art studio that I won't have to buy.
I was wondering that. I tend to shy away from slinky fabrics. I'm wondering if tissue paper above and below will stabilize the fabrics while sewing. Or, just use Cuddle for the smaller part inside just to have a bit of the super soft fabric for the child to enjoy.
Yeah that stuff is a nightmare to sew with If you look at the one that was stashed under the table you can see how the edges rippled or twisted. Almost impossible to get it straight, and it's sooo expensive
I agree! Too expensive to be so difficult and not turn out. I may use the leftover for my Granddaughters baby doll so doesn't have to be perfect. Last cuddle blanket for me. Back to my favorite flannels! Glad to hear I am not alone in this frustration. The video was helpful and think it will work great with a flannel.
I thought the same thing! Never again! If Jenny can't get it I surely cannot get it straight. I was as careful as I could be but there won't be a second purchase of cuddle.
Love it, quick, simple and too easy!!!
This was so sweet and easy! My new go-to baby gift!
Genius! I struggled with the other method and this is fabulous! Thank you, Jenny ❤
A great video! The walking foot was wonderful and kept the cuddle fabric from slipping. What cute blankets in record breaking time.
So glad I found this instruction! I’m planning to make a baby blanket this week!
I am teaching my granddaughters to sew. We made flannel blankets. We used iron on hem tape to turn the edges under. It worked great. Then they were able to use the fancy stitching on the top of the blanket without seeing the other stitches. The flannel was easier to work with the cuddle fabric. We will try cuddle next time.
Thanks for the tips. I am going to start one of these today for a new nephew. I am going to use flannel, as well, cause that is what I have. I think I will try to embroider his name on it as well. Did you do anything, besides the binding, to hold the two pieces of fabric together, such as line stitching across it, or a design, or does it stay together pretty well?
Thank you so much for your time and dedication. God bless you!
