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

Great video work

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?

This comes down to personal preference. Many people like to do this before attaching the binding.
