thank you for the info. will go look soon. gotta love this
|
Amazing how this binding went from 200 INCHES to 200 YDS!
|
she did a typo from her intro to the story. quite sure you can't get 200 YARDS from 1/2 yard of 34 inches of fabric. The math doesn't add up for me anyway.
|
I am sure that a first time poster should be cut some slack, I hit the wrong keys. SORRY!!!!!!!! BUT IT IS STILL A GOOD FIND.
|
I make my binding this way except I use a square instead of a rectangle. I love it!
|
Just to add, if you take the triangle that you cut off the one end and sew it back on the other end, so you have a "crooked" rectangle, there is NO waste. It really is cool!
|
Thanks. I always hate sewing my cut strips!!! Definately gonna do this
|
thanks bookmarked this one
|
Thank you so much for posting this! I have to put a binding on a quilt that should have been finished already. So I am using this video today! I have really learned alot from postings. Thanks again.
|
Wow, I'm bookmarking this.
|
I love the Missouri Star Quilt Co 's videos! They make it all look so simple!
|
Thanks, darlin1942 for your post. Knew right away you really meant inches. I just wish my tired old eyes could get more from the video although MDQC states they may do it over...urging them to hurry!
|
thank you. bookmarked it.
|
I have seen that video, and saved it. I have always known there was a way to do that, but have never tried it. The next time I need bias binding, I will definitely use that method.
|
This was a great tute. Thanks

Thanks for sharing bookmarked it :thumbup:
|
Way cool. Thank you for showing us the video. I love Missouri Star for their videos and daily deal. They have quick shipping and good prices.
|
I absolutely love that website. And I order from them too- they send a hand-written thank you on the invoice- wow!!
Just watched it and it's a good one- as always! I love the way Jenny does tutes. Thanks for the info! |
Good video. Thank you for sharing.
|
Isn't this the same way you make bias binding?That's the way I have made my bias bindings in the past.
|
All of the Missouri Star Quilting tutorials are excellent!!!!!!!!!!
|
This is not a new technique. I have been making bias binding like this since I learned to quilt in 1982. Some techniques don't get passed on to new quilters and then when they find them they think they are new. I think it was in Georgia Bonesteel's Lap Quilting book that I learned it.

i can't find that video where you said to look. Can you post it or let me know by PM, please. (the one on the "binding"....)
|
Yup, This produces a nice long strip of bias trimming. However the offset does produce some short bias cuts as well as long ones. I still prefer cutting it on the grain for quilt binding. Jenny does have some wonderful videos and techniques tho.:)

Here is a great resource http://quiltbug.com/articles/binding-calculator.htm |
that is good for bias binding...don't use that much-only on rounded edges........the first time I saw that way of doing a bias binding was in the back of some quilting magazine way back when...I prefer using straight french fold for quilts....just my way.

Thanks, I've seen this done in books but it always looked complicated. This makes it a lot easier!
