Best video ever!!! I wish you would do more videos on the actual cutting of fabric and how to cut the 3 yd backing. I bought three of your quilt kits and have actually struggled to get them cut out. Now mind you, I AM A BEGINNER so I’m sure others would think I’m dense or something because I struggled with the directions. Since I don’t know all the tips and tricks of sewing I find the directions rather sparse for my very visual learning style. That’s why I actually learn the best seeing you demonstrate... then I can understand the patterns better. The timing on this video is perfect because I am to the point of trying to get the backing on correctly and I was already worrying about the ‘economy binding’ 😊Thanks for your videos.
Hi Sharon, we are working on getting more tutorial type videos. Keep watching as we continue to improve our channel! Donna
I love to watch hand binding. Never have done it and probably never will 😅 but I love to see how relaxing it is to some people! ❤
Good idea putting the cover back on needle magic. That’s lots easier.
This is the best way I have ever seen with binding. Thank you for your tips to quilt, and your awesome videos.
Thank you Barbara! So glad you found it helpful!
I just discovered this economy binding...oh my goodness can't wait to try this. I will keep this video on fast dial! Thank yo so much

This is a terrific tutorial. I'm actually anxious to try it.
I really enjoyed this video. Your confidence is very inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you Judy! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Donna
Timely video! I have just finished sewing together my first Fabric Cafe 3-yard quilt top (Dominique in the pretty pink fabrics). I'm familiar with the 2.5 binding, but not the economy, and was about to read and learn from your written instructions; then, your video posted and showed just how easy it actually is! Thank you so much! Off now to quilt and bind. :)
That is awesome timing! Thanks for your comment! Donna
Once I discovered best press I said I’ll never use anything else! I absolutely love BEST PRESS
I'm with
Teri. Best Press is an awesome product! Donna
Thank you for the great instructions and tips. What looks so easy and simple will become frustrating and complex when I attempt it! Thankfully can rewatch this many times over. Since finding your channel, my one-yard stash pile has grown!! Absolutely love your 3-yard quilts-shhhh, don’t let my husband know😂. Thank you, Donna!
Hi Anita, I won't tell a soul! So glad you found us. Donna
You make it look so easy.
So glad it was clear! Donna
Thank you for a great demonstration. Now I will know how to do this binding after watching your video.
Awesome! Thanks for watching! Donna
Love this video. It is the best. I am new to quilting. Thank you.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting. Donna
Great tip. Thank you!
Thanks Brenda! Always appreciate your feedback! Donna
I enjoyed your videos. Thank you
IMO this binding would be fine on something like a wall hanging. I've read many times from people who repair quilts that the binding wears out before anything else on the quilt. This method would only give one layer of fabric on the edge, which gets a lot of wear.
Great tips. I sew.from left to right as I'm left handed. Always use the usual width now. I find it gives a firmer edge doubled over. If fabric tight I'll give this a go.👍🇦🇺
Hi Julie, thanks for your comment! So glad you could watch! Donna
Ask and I have received! I was just asking for your help with this! For some reason, my subscription videos do not play in the order received! Thanks a million, Mrs. Robertson!
You are so welcome! Glad you got the video! Donna
THANK YOU Donna for this instruction! It was fabulous! You make it look so simple! I appreciate all your efforts! Cath J
Thanks for really great binding tips and tricks! Wish I found your videos and website 7 years ago when I started quilting. Do most of your 3-yard quilt patterns have enough fabric to make a regular 2-1/2" scrappy binding?
We give you enough to make the 1.25 strips, but the amount of fabric remaining after that varies according to the way the pattern is made. None would have anther 1/4 yard remaining. Donna

Does the economy binding work with a thicker backing such as flannel or minky?
Hi Jennifer! The economy binding will work with flannel, however minky may be too thick in this case. - Fran
do use a single thread to bind?
Hi Sally! Yes, we use single thread for hand binding. Fran prefers to use a poly wrapped cotton, it's a very strong thread. She usually also chooses one that matches the binding strip. Hope that helps!
Can you bind this by machine?
yes you can.
