New tutorial on binding from Jenny!

I've been finishing my binding ends like this for a couple years now. That binding tool is a PITA.

I was watching the tutorial and I hear my hubby laughing and saying under his breath "Squeezy things" he had heard Jenny trying to thing of clamps.

That binding tool make me curse in French and English. This is much easier indeed. Thank you.

This was great. Makes it easier when you visually see it done. Thanks Jenny!!!

"Squeeze things", indeed! So funny... Some online instructors are just so formal, and look as if they are reading a script... All mistakes and verbal flubs are edited out.... One in particular, is just so chirpy that I want to ...well...you know..... And another well known instructor has a cheery smile that just drives me crazy. These people are not REAL. Jenny and her girls are real. Jenny, in particular, is very warm.... She is genuine, and that counts for a lot..... One of the reasons Jenny is so popular, is that she is able to connect with her viewers..... We all feel a kinship with her.... We know she truly enjoys teaching us new things.

I watch some of the videos multiple times, and learn something each time. So, thanks Jenny, and the MSQC, for all you do. You are greatly appreciated.

Great video.......will be doing another binding soon so this will help. Thanks Jenny and the gang as MSQC!

That is how I do it! - except for the little diagonal stitches when you stop 1/4" before the corner - must remember that

I just finished watching it and I've seen this done on other videos but Jenny took it to a new level of learning from the start of creating your binding to finishing with hand sewing. Nice job she did.

This tutorial is a big step up from using that binding tool in the first one - but it still seems a little more complicated than this other tutorial I found. Just the actual sewing part I guess - having to get those edges lined up again on the 45 and what not.

This tutorial is probably the way I'm going to bind quilts - if the day ever gets here that I have a quilt to bind! The relevent parts are at the 3 minute mark (starting to attach the binding) and the 4:55 minute mark (ending the binding) if you don't care to watch the whole video.

The other steps are basically the same - except she presses her seams open to help them lay flat.

I have tried the "pocket method" and I always end up with one part sticking up more than the other...much prefer Jenny's latest method although I also do fine with the binding tool as well...will be trying the method Jenny showed on the latest tutorial to end my binding and see how that works...
I purchased "The Angler" at a local LQS for $10 a couple of weeks ago....made by New Leaf I believe...let me double check that for you - It is called "Clearly Perfect Angles" by New Leaf Stitches....website is newleafstitches.com...try there if unavailable at your local LQS. Hope this helps everyone!

This is how I was taught when I first started, tip, the little piece you slice off the end you can fold out and use to measure your 2 1/2 " or whatever your width is, don't have to have a ruler that way.

So glad I watched that! Thanks. I have been doing pretty good, but am thrilled to learn the trick at the end. Don't we all just love Jenny?
