Nice tutorial, did not like the fact she left her rotary cutter open as she talked, several times her hand got really close to the blade. Not a good example to beginner quilters
Not getting the picture, only the instruction. Is this normal?

Good information, well presented, with one exception. Please do not leave the rotary cutter open. Everyone forgets once in a while, but to leave it open routinely is a dangerously bad example.
how can i save this so i can find it easy again to watch
Celia, you can “ADD TO PLAYLIST”, by clicking on those words just below the video. Good luck!
Great video work
great video work showing exactly what is is talking about. very helpful. I am wondering, can you just stitch in the ditch to catch that back binding? I have limited mobility in my fingers. I can do it but it’s going to take a long time.
Thanks,
Glenda

I really like the way the binding was joined at the end! Away from you, right binding up!!
There are much easier ways to do binding.
I noticed that it appears you have stitched 1/8″ away from the edge all around the quilt. Should this always be done?

Here’s what the experts had to say about your question:
This comes down to personal preference. Many people like to do this before attaching the binding.

I am a new quilter. I have watched many tutorials. Yours was so easy to understand. We’re you a teacher?
Thank you Diane for a very comprehensive tutorial on making and applying binding. This is great information, well presented. Diane, you are a very accomplished quilter and a great instructor – thanks once again.
This lady talks way to slow, she left her rotary cutter with the blade exposed, and she should have had her fabric closer to her front to utilize the whole cutting mat. I couldn’t watch the whole video, due to boredom.
