Love your explanations! You’re a great teacher!
This idea of starting binding on back is going to be my next try. BTW you said over saying over explaining...your explanations are never OVERDONE. We need it!!!! Thank you.
Thank goodness I found you Rob. You’re a fabulous tutor!!! I’ve learnt so much from your tutorials. Very much appreciated…Thank you.
Could you do a tutorial on joining Quilt As You Go squares, there are a lot of techniques and the way you explain things just makes it easier for me to reach that AH HA moment. Love your videos and your energy is wonderful.
❤❤❤
I know how to bind...but I'm still going to watch because I love seeing how others do what I do.
Maybe show your favorite method for hand sewing when we need to repair a completed quilt?
Great video. You make everything clear & easy to follow. As mentioned previously, I would love to see a tutorial on joining QAYG blocks.
Can I just say you're the best teacher on youtube
Glad to see I’m not the only one who wishes for extra hands during that last part of the back. 😂
Thank you for the great tutorial.
You are fabulous...no silly talking... nice voice...east to understand...
A great teacher good job!!!!
I also roll my ironed binding. I tape a quart bag and tape it to the table below my machine. I put the roll inside and it’s so easy to pull out as I sew it on the quilt.

I fi ally found you Rob
Love your tutorials ❤
Believe it or not, I don't iron my binding in half. I find whether I'm finishing my binding by hand or machine, it's easiest to roll the binding to the other side without a fold in the binding. Usually the inner layer of the binding folds over more than the outer layer, which offsets the fold. It has helped me immensely.
I would like to try this method, but I’m worried about not being able to keep the binding doubled over on grain. Maybe basting the edges together would help. I’m also not sure what to do at the corners.
@@Carol_Sews too bad she didn’t do a video on her method. I’m guessing maybe just using some glue to hold the binding over. Then you don’t have to take out any stitches or worried that some of the basting stitches would show.
I’m going to try a small sample because I’m getting ready to bind some thing myself
Yes yes yes !!
I press after sewing both sides.
You lost me in the very first step of the joining process on the two ends of the binding. You said to leave a 6-8” space, then you magically and (seemingly) arbitrarily cut one of strips at 6” mark and didn’t explain why. What if chose 5” mark? Or 7”? Sounded like it didn’t matter what number you use in the ruler, or where you started measuring the 6”.
Binding should always be cut on the bias, for any quilt that will be “used”. This is so that when the edge gets worn, one thread will not unravel the whole edge.
The numbers for the amount of binding was wonderful for me 😊
I actually used an adjustable binding foot to attach double fold binding tape front and back with one seam. Holy cow it worked perfectly. The first time. But it must have been beginners luck. Now I do it this way. Thank you. I would like to learn the proper way to use all of the specialty feet in quilting when possible. I'm 70, but willing to be taught new tricks.
I needed this video showing me how to keep it square Thank Rob.
I love the “Just gettin’ er dun” quote. Yup, sometimes it is just that. Also, with wall hangings, I like how finished this looks, even though I prefer hand stitching the back binding down. One of the things I do extra is press the binding to get that nice smooth fold after stitching the raw edge down. Makes folding it to the other side easier and it looks smoother. Thanks for a great video.
Your method is exactly how I do my binding.
I’d absolutely love to see how to miter the borders of a quilt AND NOT have wavy edges. I don’t struggle with typical borders but the miter ones with a bit wider border seem to be my kryptonite…literally tries to kill me WITH A SPOON. Going bonkers over here. LOL. Coming at you from Sugar Land, TX. Thank you.
Thank you for the squaring up tips. I have struggled with this and I will try your method. 😂
ROB!!!! I absolutely LOVE & ENJOY your enthusiastic way U show us all how it's done 😅
U definitely make it FUN & WORTHWHILE learning to affect our " skills!"
THANKS SOOOO MUCH 😊
A walking foot really helps when sewing on binding.
Thanks Rob. I like your suggestions, especially loosely rolling the binding and placing it on the machine bed, so much better than chasing it around my neck or lap. I’m going to try your method of trimming the quilt and applying the binding completely by machine, looks so much faster than hand sewing one side down.
I also attach my binding to the back first and then I iron it, pushing it toward the edge of the quilt, and I sometimes iron down and pin the mitered corners so they are ready to sew when I get to them. When folding the binding it over to sew the front, I use a "stitch in the ditch" foot (a Bernina 10C) which has a blade to slide along a seam ditch. I run that blade along the left/inside edge of the binding and the needle position is adjusted to the right of the blade to hit where I want the stitch line to be on the binding. This keeps my stitching in position better than trying to keep a regular foot going straight along the binding edge as I sew. Thanks for your video!!
Rob, I’ve been watching your videos for many years. I wondered what happened to you over the past year, and then I searched and found you here.
Your videos are always so helpful. I’ve learned many techniques from you. Thank you!
PLEASE, PLEASE do a video on how to set tension on a longarm when using minky on the backing of the quilt. I have tried adjusting so many times and the quilting on the back is still too loose but the top is good. I use the RK quilting calculator app to figure backing, binding and borders--LOVE IT!! I bind all my quilts on the sewing machine using an open toe walking foot. Thanks for all your GREAT videos.
Thanks for such a nice tutorial on sewing the binding. Love your tips and tricks.
When I'm done ironing my binding in half, I wrap it around an empty toilet paper roll, then I put it on the portable toilet paper holder stand I purchased for this reason and slide it right underneath where my machine is located and the binding rolls right off the toilet paper holder as I'm sewing.
Love it!!!
Thank you Rob. Your techniques are wonderful and your explanations are so easy to follow. I found that using my walking foot is so helpful when applying the binding too. I struggle with a consistent stitch and the last time I put on a binding I used a stitch in the ditch presser foot and moved my needle to the right and I was so much more successful. For future videos I would love to see how to do maintenance on a featherweight machine. I love your green machine. Take care!
Quilt as you go from start to finish, including borders and binding.
THANKS for sharing your great binding technique... I especially picked up on how to make sure the width is the SAME all around, because I've had quilts where some of the binding was just the width I wanted, and some of it was very narrow, so I appreciated your tip on how to avoid that from happening again; I make quilts to USE, not show, but I'd still like the binding width to be consistent no matter what :) Blessings to you, your family, and Stitchin' Heaven, and THANKS AGAIN for sharing your talent... you're a JOY to watch and learn from!! :)
Love your energetic demos. Thank you easy to follow demos. A while ago, you had shown quilt made with Ambrae fabrics. Please would you repost it. Appreciate
I love it
The green guitar 🎸 in the corner 😍 😍 😍 ❤❤❤ I need it!
Thank you Rob great video I'm still one of those who start on front then turn to the back and then stitch right along the front seam.
Ideas for upcoming videos. Log cabin. Bear paw or better yet how about a lone star quilt...
Thanks, Rob. This video was a huge help. Suggestion for a future video: how to deal with mistakes. E.g. ‘elbows’ in strip cuts.
Awesome tutorial ❤
Brilliant
Thanks for the video, the quilt is beautiful. I also machine stitched the binding on my last quilt for the first time. Looks ok but do need practice so the back is nice as the front.
Love the quilt !!
Love this it was very helpful!😀
Thank you rob for another great video
Thanks! That's how I do mine ❤ No quilt police here ❤
When I have lots of binding strips I often press them in half before I sew them together so I don't have to iron such a long piece. That helps with knowing the right side, too. I can finger press the area where they are sewn together as I trim them.
Love your videos 👍
The reason to have the "nostrils" go in alternating directions is to reduce the bulk in the corners. It makes a difference AND it prevents the stitches from struggle to get through as many layers of fabric.
Beautiful 🥰 quite!!
Great tutorial with no nonsense involved!!
Thank you these videos really help me do the binding ❤
Good tips for binding. Thank you.
Thank you for this tutorial Rob. Very enjoyable and informative.
Glad I found this video! I haven’t seen you around, you do pop all around! 😎
Love this tutorial and thank you for doing it. Now can you do a machine binding tutorial for edges besides the 45 degree, i.e. like a hexagon or octagon shape? I am learning how to do table runners and table toppers that are not
squared off on the ends. You make this look easy so I'm hoping for the same on a hexagon shape. 😁
Great tutorial on binding. Lots of extra and helpful tips, as well. Thank you.
Thanks for the video! Loved the tips on trimming too. All your techniques really help get the job done!
Great job,really enjoyed ! Thanks
Great video ❤😊
Thanks Rob. Always learn something!
I watched you as man sewinglive watching you have to watch everyti.e I make a quilt
You are the best teacher!
Very nice Rob. Binding is not something I like lol especially on any thing larger then a wall hanging🙂 hope you have a great day.
I find it helpful to press the binding after attaching to the back of the quilt.
thank you, very clear instructions
Hello everyone from New Zealand 😁😁
Thank you Rob this has been so helpful.. this has given me confidence to do the corners.. much appreciated, now to keep practicing... Have a great day
Rob, one of the best binding tutorials I have watched. Explanation & video was very clear for me, for the whole process perfect pace. I know I can do it now. Very patient, great teacher.Thank you.
Love your videos. It is sew much fun.
Thank you so much!
Great info- just getting started quilting, garment sewing is my passion but giving quilts a go! Thanks!
Your quilts are always so pretty.I bought a ruler and 2 patterns from you .I didn’t know if I could make them or not but I made both of them and gave one to my nephew ,he loves it and says everyone that sees it wants it. It was a 3 dudes pattern, thank you.
Love your videos! thank you so many great tips! Not quilt related but I'd love to see a knitting tutorial from you, loved your knitted caps on the dogs!
Awesome, the bull dog, is a dear friend, her owner had his Rob Made beanie actually fall, land on her head, and snapped a few photos. The healers belong to another buddy who was also gifted a Rob beanie, so they were hamming it up for me.
Thank you Rob. I’m trying to learn to sew a binding on. God bless.
So helpful. Thank You 🌻
You are so welcome!
You can not over explain attaching the end binding together. I wish I had a dollar every time I get it twisted or sew at the wrong angle. With inflation I could have a good high end McDonald's meal deal LOL. I love how yo explain things. Signed Kathy dog lover
Rob !
Use the “sew in ditch” presser foot when you sew the binder on the face of the quilt. Much easier and more accurate in keeping the same distance from the margin of the binding.
Ugh that is a fabulous quilt on the wall behind you!!

Nice tutorial
Hi Rob! You are a hoot! How about teaching how to resize a quilt pattern on point. I have done a table runner on point but would love to make a quilt on point.
Thank you for your help and for making it fun.
Sharon
Definitely saving this video rob. I’m almost done quitting my first quilt on my domestic machine not gonna lie I’m nervous to do the cutting of the quilt and doing the binding. Ty for your excellent video. This beginner appreciates you
Thank you
I'd go to Quilter's Paradise and let them do the math! The main thing I want to make sure there's not a seam on the corner when I have to miter a corner. A toilet paper roll will work to wind the binding on. Getting ready to quilt a baby quilt, and bind it. I'll probably put it on the back so when I pull to the front, I can use a decorative stitch.
Rob,I am gonna make my first baby quilt,you have given me a great ideas on putting on the binding. I am gonna put a thicker binding on this quilt will I have any problem doing this? Thanks for all your help I always appreciate all the help. I will continue to watch all your shows because I always learn something from each show, and thank you for that. Keep up the great work.
Rob, I have a suggestion. Look up the tuck method of binding. It’s so much easier and avoids all the struggle with the binding!
Thanks
I'd love to see a tutorial on the QAYG method. Your videos for some reason fit my brain😄
Nice presentation - raid fire and efficient.
OOps - I meant rapid fire and efficient.
I would have liked to see a close up of the different stitches
Love your videos. Question, why do you start on the back instead of the front first? I am new and learning. Thank you
Thanks, Rob. So helpful!
L O V E 💖 the quilt design hanging behind you. Do you offer the pattern?
I loved the binding demo. one question... when you stop 1/4 in from corner edge to create your Mitre corner, and when you turn your needle to sew down the edge... do you put your needle at the 1/4 edge, or do you start from the top edge of the fabric?
I have such trouble forming a pretty mitered corner! I start at the top of my fabric and I wonder if that is causing my problem or I just need more practice! lol
thanks for Tips!
Thank you Rob. You made it look a lot easier. I would like to see a video on quilting the quilt on a regular sewing machine.
That was a regular sewing machine. That was not a semi industrial. You can tell because the bobbin compartment is on the top. All of that semi industrial sewing machines the bobbin goes in from the side underneath. Actually, there is one cheap singer machine that is similar.
However, just know that this was not a semi industrial Juki
Thank you for making this straight forward tutorial. I enjoyed watching it. HAve you done any foundation paper piecing tutorials?
Thank you I like to press my joins open less thikness when folding binding in half, I do press binding from the back before I top sew it clips help to hold corners in place as well thanks again for video
That's a great idea!
Binding with the machine can work great! I prefer to stitch mine to the back first and roll it to the front. then my top stitch on the front can be absolutely perfect. And the back "Messier" stitches disappear with the quilting.😊
Empty toilet paper cardboard works well for rling binding. I hook it on knee lift.
I'd like to learn how to draft a pattern for paper piecing.
Thanks Rob, I consistently have a problem with sew and flips getting it to the proper size. I draw a line corner to corner but if I sew on that line the block isn't the proper size. Is there a sure fire way of getting it right . Thanks again
I have gradually worked my way through the steps it takes to put my quilt together and how to put my binding on. My HUGE problem is now how to machine quilt on a standard machine. I've tried every method I have seen covered in tutorials. I can't finish my quilt and I sure cannot afford to send it to be done by a long arm. Sure would love to though! LOLOL
I am going to make a quilt with 4x4 hour glass squares, I need 1200 of these is there a easy fast way to cut these out. Love your video’s
Thank you. I am always getting flummoxed when joining the binding tails as, while the method looks easy enough, I tend to twist the tails the wrong way as I open them up, putting a twist in the binding. I have found that using the Binding Tool from MSQC helps to avoid the twists. I have, also found that using the hard cardboard roll that is left over when plastic wrap roll is finished works well to wrap my binding strips around.
Also I just put on a 1-1/4" Cuddle binding for a baby shower gift and it went okay but I kept having to fight with the edges of the strips rolling. Have you used Cuddle? If so how do you keep the edges from rolling.
You can check out Tracy‘s channel her CZcams channel is called the sewing channel. Don’t get it confused with the sewing room channel. It’s called “the sewing channel. “
She has done a much better binding technique. And she also has a video where she tried using the glad press and seal to help with the cuddle Fabric the Minky Fabric.
if you are really interested, reply to my message and I’ll post the links for you
I would like a tutorial on preparing a quilt for show or competition
I use a similar method but I use a walking foot with an edge guide in the middle of the foot. It makes for a nice straight line. I do have to change my needle position to make sure it's the correct distance from the edge of the binding.
Thank you! I might have missed it but did you show the back of the quilt after you finished the binding? I've been coming up with a tad too much space and my quilt line on the back really shows. I will try leaving the 1/4" batting because I think that will take up the space I need.
