This was my first time watching a video with Natalie and I have to say she is definitely my favourite. She has a way of confidently explaining the process and doesn’t rush through any steps. Thank you
"Stress less, smile more" .... best advice EVER! Really enjoyed this lesson.
I’ve watched “binding”by everyone on the tube and you are the first one that does it where I can understand how to end it correctly. Thanks for your tips and tricks. Even an old lady like me can learn new things. God Bless
I totally agree!!! Even this old lady finally ended a binding on the first try - yaaaaaaa
Ditto. Excellent explanations.
It
And they all do it so darn fast. I like the way MSQC folks do it Slow enough, and explain, so we can actually follow it, let alone remember it!!
The same is true for me. I only hope that same day I will not have to rewatch the video every time I am ready to join the ends of the binding. Until then, I watch that part again.
I never knew the flanged binding was so simple, thank you Natalie!
Natalie is such a great teacher. It is super obvious during triple play, that Natalie is wicked smart. Good for us!!
Love your no- nonsense method of teaching and explaining things simply and without drama. By that I mean the way some quilters/sewers caution too much that this or that can happen and it sounds catastrophic. You give scenarios of things that could go wrong, but it's very serene and you let us know some things don't matter, or that it's fixable. Most of us watching all these quilting videos are new to sewing, rusty, still learning or insecure about our sewing. It helps when the teacher is more matter-of- fact than cautious. Thank you.
Thank you for repeatedly saying, “If it doesn’t come out exact, it’s okay!”😍
Love the way YOU teach. Your voice is easy to listen to and you do it with NO stress ! Thank you !
Natalie, Thanks for giving us that “light bulb moment” on bindings! Amazing! You make beginners feel like they can do anything!!!
Thank very much really enjoy!

I love Natalie’s videos. She’s my favorite.
Natalie, it's a pleasure to watch your tutorials. Keep them coming 🙂
Yes!! Loving these tutorials!
Thank you! I used your technique on my latest quilt and love the outcome. Appli-glue is a game changer!!
Natalie, I like that you get to do these final stitch videos because you can take the time to show more details. : )
Miss Natalie. Thank You Thank You for sharing this technique. I absolutely Love watching you Mother and her tutorials. You are fantastic. Love watching you
I love this flange binding. Thank you, Natalie. I have bound over 50 quilts and watched lots of videos, and this was the best one yet.
I am no longer afraid to do a machine binding!! Thanks so much, Natalie, for this super great tutorial.
Doing a flange binding or even regular bindings on small projects like mug rugs, placemats, or hot pads is a great way to practice the skills Natalie is sharing. Thanks for another great video!
A great idea! Thanks for the tip.
That’s is a great idea! Maybe I’ll do a doll quilt before I try to finish my Granddaughter’s quilt. Brilliant!
I have done this with potholders, and getting the last bit of binding sewn to the beginning bit is actually a little harder than it is on a larger piece - just a heads up... (especially with potholder batting often being stiffer than "normal" quilt batting and usually a tighter/more dense quilt pattern).
Good idea, practice!
Natalie, I really like this flange idea. Have you done this on big quilts and still sewed by machine?
Great job. Love watching you. I forget to make it fun and you remind me to make it so.
Love your tutorials Natalie. We need more from you. They are precise, but easy to understand. Thank you!
This video has been so helpful. Never heard of flange binding and also the finishing of binding
has left me depressed so many times. Thank you for your wonderful help,Natalie
Great visual description of joining the binding, I ripped my diagonal seam out a few times yesterday as the binding was twisted once I stitched it together. I was sat at the machine with my block magazine trying to figure it out. Seeing it on video makes it much clearer. Thank you.
Thank you for the motivation to finish up a king size quilt that I have had laying around for 2 years. I saw your tutorial on the flange binding, and I knew that is what I wanted to do on this quilt. I finished it up today, and it is beautiful. I have had a love/hate relationship with this quilt for a very long time. I now love it!!
Fabulous. Thank you for sharing your success.
Good for you! (A year late. 🙂.)
The best design advice I ever got was, "blend, don't match". It works in all creative sewing endeavors...fabric, thread, etc. Thanks for the great video.
Grest advice. I probably learned in a quilting class years ago to lay the thread on the fabric as Natalie showed vs the spool. Now I work at a big box store and show the thread on the fabric to customers when they are torn on thread color.
Nathalie I would just like to say that you brighten up my day because your kindness shines through your face !
Thank you for this lovely tutorial !
Yea!!! Now I understand this method. I have never been able to understand how this is done! Natalie! You’re a great teacher!
Thank you, Natalie, for showing how to do a beautiful flanged binding. That was very helpful video. The glue was a wonderful tip! Thanks so much!
I watched your video 3 times and then did my binding. I finished it just like you did and it worked! That was an hallelujah moment! Thank you for your wonderful videos!!!
Really enjoyed this class with Natalie. Made it look so easy. Thank you Natalie!
Loved your lesson. No drama. Just simple instruction and so easy going with it. I have learnt something new today thanks to you.
I've never seen this type of binding done before. It is awesome and can't wait to try it. Thank you, Natalie, for sharing this. You are a great teacher and make everything so clear.
Thank you Natalie, it's the very first time I haven't messed up my binding. 😊 I love your program ❤
Great job! Techniques explained very well. I feel comfortable giving this binding a try after seeing this tutorial
The best, easiest way to bind. Natalie, you are so calm and straight forward with all your instructions and tips. This is now my go to binding tutorial ! Thanks
One of the best videos yet Natalie. Thank you for sharing this tip on the binding. I seem to always struggle with finishing my bindings. Your new technique looks much easier taking the guess work out of it. I truly love the idea of adding the flange binding. What a way to dress up your quilts!
This is the best demonstration to connect the binding ends. I could never get it--now I do!!! thank you Natalie!
Natalie, that is the most informative demo I've seen on binding, (which I have always despised and always done by hand). The flange is beautiful. The Appliglue is something I've never heard of but am going to track down. Also, I finally understand how to join the binding ends. I think my hand binding days may be at an end. Great video, thank you!
Oh Natalie.... THANK YOU sooooo much for showing this... especially the glue! I usually have a million wonder clips and feel like I am wrestling with my quilt and I think that is why a LOT of people hate binding... Brilliant!!
Love The Final Stitch. And Natalie I so enjoy how you teach--no pressure, just sweet and gentle. You're my favorite of "the trio", but Misty and Jenny are great too.
I enjoy all the videos but sometimes I find Misty just a little too scattered for my taste. But that’s just my way of learning.
I love them all too. But Natalie is my favorite.
Well, I'm doing another binding and here I am watching your videos again a year later. Thank you for these videos that focus on the quilting process.
I return to this
Video time and again to remind myself about how to do flange binding. This method, via this tutorial with Natalie, has made all the difference in my skill when it comes to finishing my quilts. Thank you for this particular lesson!😊
This was great! That flange binding looks terrific and is so easy. I like the tip about the glue. It certainly looks easier than clips or pins (which always end up giving me pokes!). It also seems more sensible to stitch the binding to the back and flip to the front. You could do this with ordinary binding too (though you wouldn't have the nice flange). It would be great to have a tip sheet for this that we could print out. Love Natalie's quiet teaching style!
Oh Wow! This is now the only binding tutorial I will ever need! Thank you. X
Thank you Natalie....somehow your explanation of mitering the binding strip FINALLY made sense and I got it! It was important that you had the full plus - not joined edges to begin with. Overlapping. I love that you are so patient and peaceful.
Natalie, you are a great teacher, you use humor and are willing to admit mistakes which puts me at ease. Thank you for this lesson. I just discovered this tutorial. It was a big help in finishing my great grandsons quilt. ❤
Thank you!!!! Using real life examples and clear video details make your videos one of my favorites!
Natalie, I love all your final stitch tutorials. This one stands out. I was (glued) 😂 to your helping us understand how to accomplish the finishing of our quilts. U r amazing 🤩!
I love your teaching too, Natalie, your voice is so clear and calm. All three of you are a pleasure to spend time with, and I enjoy the contrast in your teaching styles and design solutions.
Once again, your an amazing teacher. This Old lady understands when you teach.
I want to thank you. I have been trying to attach my binding at the end (joining the ends together) forever. I have watched your Mom, I have ordered the binding tool, everything. Finally though something you did clicked! I can now do it and I am so proud so THANK YOU!
I really enjoy your "no big deal...just get it done" attitude. I sew charity quilts for Project Linus and have to tell myself all the time that "done is better than perfect" or complicated. I save the try to be close to perfect for quilts for me because I can. Love this flange idea... a lot. It adds that little extra touch of special. Thanks Nat. Happy Holidays.
Per Jenny "Finished is better than perfect." Quote is on lots of notions you can get from MSQC...I have a magnet and bookmark with the quote. Happy quilting!
Joining bindings is difficult for me. I always get it turned the wrong way. I’ll try your tips. You’re a good teacher, Natalie.
I am new. I watched a video long ago that showed bias binding joining. The lady had a little piece of paper that looked liked a pair of jeans. She laid the legs at the places where the cloth crosses. She said, sew the waist, not the crotch. Honesty, I say this to myself everything.
Appliqué glue! Amazing and I really enjoyed your tutorial and your calming voice. You have done your Moma proud!
Thank you for the great video Natelie! Thank you for going slowly for us newer quilters. I will smile and think of you every time I sew a binding.
Love your nice relaxed presentation! Quilting is about the pursuit of happiness, not perfection!
Natalie, you're a treasure. In your hands everything seems easier.
Theese little tips are priceless. Thank you for being such a good teacher.
MSQC is my favourite site. And store.
Thank you so much Natalie! I've only ever done machine binding but didn't know about the trick you showed at the end to link the two pieces together so that they are snug. Game changer! I love this series!!
I can't wait to try this method of machine binding with flange. So pretty!
The glue trick is fantastic! Thanks Natalie! your videos are a huge help, no matter how long you've been sewing!
I loved the explanation of how to join the ends. I have always struggled and fought this part. How you do it makes perfect sense to me now. Thank you 😊
Thank you! I love how these videos are out there forever, this is perfect timeing for me to find this..I love the peek of color on the front and I for sure will be happier with my machine stitched bindings that will not show extra stitch lines on the back. You are such a great teacher, and humble to share what you have learned from mistakes.
Bye. Love your style and mannerisms. Like another person wrote, You girls are treasures!!! Tell your Mom that we all envy her having such great “Daughters” in her life!!!!
wow i love how you teach, just like your momma, i have had problems with binding no matter how many times ive watched anyone do it but i think if i keep watching this i will get a better hang of it, thanks so much Nat!
Hi Natalie, you are a pleasure to watch and learn from. Thank you for showing us how.
Natalie, I have been having problems with my binding, especially the joining. So, I watched your tutorial several times and using the width of the binding, and Natalie, it works. I will be watching each time that I have to do a binding. At least, until I gain my confidence. many thanks to you.
Thanks for a timely set of tips! The step I dread the most when making a quilt is joining the binding ends. Your explanation was so easy to follow...it worked the first time! Another quilt is almost in the finished pile! I’ll try the flange technique on my next quilt.
Natalie love these tips, especially the glue idea. I will be doing more bindings this way. Thank you
Natalie, you are brilliant!!! Never thought to use glue on the binding to line seams up, you have made my quilting life easier. Thank you. :):)
Love the Tula fabrics!!! I always put my binding on by machine, back to front. I have never tried the flanged binding. Your explanation was the easiest to understand and I have watched several others sew this. Thanks Natalie for another great video.
Natalie, Thank you so very much for this tutorial!! I hate to hand stitch, and am not very goodt at machine binding - yet! This technique is fantastic! I love your style of instruction - it's like virtual quilting with a good friend!
Of all the hudreds of videos I have watched ... this is my very favorite! I love the flange binding and the simple way to connect the binding ends. I was sorry I missed the family 2 weeks ago when I flew to Kansas City just so I could spend a day at MSQC. Thank you ladies!
Natalie, brilliant teacher and excellent video. Well done and thank you.
I am loving this Final Stitch series. This is the stage when some of my quilt tops go into a drawer....potentially never to be seen again. You have tackled a lot of the road blocks a lot of us have with our quilting projects and I feel like I can actually finish some of those forgotten projects- yay!
I love your videos Natalie- please keep them coming 😃💖
Best Binding tutorial EVER... the ending !! and the Appliglue tip !!! Thank you so much Natalie !
So many “aha” moments watching this video! I have never done traditional binding - only the cheater binding where I fold the backing over to create the binded edge. With these tips, I’m going to try “real” binding now! Thank you!
Natalie love your teaching methods. Wish we saw you more on camera. Your quiet confidence is soothing and reassuring.
Dear Natalie, thank you for the great details on machine binding. You simplified the process and explained every step beautifully. I'm very new at completing my quilts without help from my sister and your instructions took the pressure off. Thanks again!❤
This is my go to video for binding! I have a problem of twisting the ends together when I connect the last two pieces. I just pull this video up and never fail, it works. God Bless you! Of all the family, you are my favorite!
Thank you, thank you Natalie for this tutorial. This is the 3rd binding on my Present Quilt and the "Final" binding! So happy to have had your help. Sending extra big hugs...😚😚😚😚
Followed your binding steps (watched multiple times!) and my first binding came out perfectly! Now we'll see how the hand finishing goes. Thank you Natalie!
Great video, Natalie. Many good tips. I’ve been gluing my fold over ever since Sharon Schamber showed it when she won the big prize at International Quilt Festival years ago. One additional thing I do is sew the binding on an untrimmed quilt. I can then trim EXACTLY the distance I want from the seam line. Then I fold and glue and stitch. On the flanged binding, I often use pieces already cut at 2” (one of the sizes in my scrap stash). I sew them and fold the flange in, then trim the whole long strip to 1” or 1.25” before sewing on.
Melanezoe, This is a great idea. When there is no border on the quilt I don't want the binding to overlap points along the edge (e.g., stars or triangles). I have been thinking of trimming wider than the quilt so binding comes to front without overlapping those points., but is hard to know how much batting/backing to leave. Your idea to sew the binding FIRST, then trim the batt/back is perfect. Thanks.
@@jillbennett8334 glad it is useful, Jill. After it’s sewn on, I fold the binding in half to see how wide it really will be. That’s the amount I trim to. Usually between 1/4” and 3/8”.
Mathieu, I really enjoy watching your videos, I find you so relaxing to listen to and you always have great tip and new techniques to teach. Our taste is very similar as I watch your Triple Play videos, I often find myself drawn to your quilt the most. Also you make thing very real by sharing your challenge in quilting. Thank you for that. 🙂🇨🇦
Wish I could give this a ❤️ instead of a 👍. Great advice and I love the complicated look of the flange.
Yay Natalie. You dot all the is and cross all your tees. Amazing lesson. Thank you.
Thank you so much Natalie -- I've been quilting for years and years but have always hand finished the binding on the back. After all those years, my hands have gotten pretty gnarly with arthritis, but 100% machine binding has always resulted in an ugly mess. This tutorial has made the rest of my quilting life so much easier and rewarding. Thank you again!
The contrasting color just pops!!! Looks SO pretty! And professional!
I I think I’ve watching this one 2 or 3 times! I love this video! I’m a beginner quilter and I have so much trouble with bindings… this video makes it so easy to understand. I love the look of this binding technique! Thank you!
Stress less, smile more. Best advice!
You two make me smile.😁 Thank you for your honesty about not being perfect : Also for reassuring me that my quilt doesn't have to be perfect. I like that "Smile more.. Stress less."! I have to remind myself that I quilt for enjoyment not perfection.. Thank you ladies for another wonderful video!!!! Also thank you for sharing that hot tip about that appli-glue trick and ironing. It is difficult for me to hand sew on the binding I prefer to sew on the machine, but even that pulling and tugging wears out my hands and fingers (arthritis). I'm trying that glue trick. Natalie and Liz I just love the way you all teach!!! Thanks for these videos!! Bless you both!!
Joining the binding at the end was my biggest problem, thank you for showing me how to do it ! TY TY
I watch this video every time I bind a quilt. Thank you Natalie!
That was the best binding tutorial I've seen. Thank you for sharing each part of the process. 💕
Thank you for showing me how to finish the binding. You make it so easy. I went step by step and paused the video while doing what you had done.
This video is probably the best I have seen and will make my joining the ends of the binding. This is where I struggle on binding. I also love the ease of having the flange as a guide. I have been attaching my binding to the back first since I started quilting. I just makes more sense to me. Thank you for the great tips.
Your personality shows and you are such a great teacher .
This is the easiest way I’ve seen to join the binding at the end! Thank you for showing that. And using glue to hold down the binding is brilliant! Thank you Natalie. Please continue teaching. You are so good.
Natalie, I Love you. Been watching you since the first time you took over for "Mom". You were so cute and talented. God bless and Happy New Year!
Appliglue I need you!!!! Thank you Natalie, I’ve heard of flange binding but never saw it done. Want to try it soon. Ok maybe after holidays.
Natalie every time I watch one of your videos I think I couldn't enjoy them more. Then I come across another great tip. I've been sewing for more than 50 years and still learning lots. Thank you.
Thank you for your slow teaching and excellent camera shot.Not speedy.Very kind spoken. Keep up the excellent ,you. Thank you again. Also love technique,with other tutorials you have showed. Different designs. Love them all.
Wow, learned a lot today, thank you Natalie! I really like that there is no hand stitching and the flange is classy!
So glad you make these programs for us. Learn much from these. You and Jenny make it easy to follow. Thank you.
