    Heirloomcreations.com. watched a YouTube video yesterday. They call it "Ednas method" It just clicked for me. I find myself recreating the wheel each time i do a binding. I watched this one and really feel like I MIGHT have it! I hope. Anyway, check out the video. Building a quilt.

    I felt the same until I ran across this. It was really scary the first time I did it.

    I watched Jenny's tutorial, and even though I have made a number of quilts, I learned a lot. The hint of pressing the strips first is a great one. I also have a tip.

    When my binding is ready to put on I wrap it tightly around a toilet paper tube and put a string through the tube. ( The string I use is an I cord I knit). I place the tied cord over my head and wear the whole thing so the binding feeds off the tube and does not get tangled, especially if I am doing a large quilt. Looks funny,but it works.

    I've tried this one, and nearly hung myself! LOL! Went back to just throwing it in a pile on top of the quilt and dealing with it!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWh9...=TLQWyAp5EWwcU I end binding this way. It's easy to manipulate the join.

    That is the easiest method I think I've ever seen.

    I press a diagonal fold and trim off the little triangle and press binding in half. Put the rest on the floor between my feet, leave a couple of inches unsewn and sew away. Before I finish I put a pin to hold the point at the beginning, cut a couple of inches off and tuck into the two inches or so before I started sewing, back stitch a few times and it's done.

    I finish my ends like Jenny Doan also. Since I learned to do it that way, I haven't done it any other way. So easy!

    This is a great way to do the ends and I've used it. Later Jenny pushes the binding tool and I bought and tried it and every time I went to use it I had to re-watch her video.

    Look how she connects the ends of her binding.

    I have just posted a reply using Jenny's method and I did purchase the binding tool and every time I went to use it I had to re-watch the video. I also have used the McCall's method and both are great.
