Jenny from Missouri Quilt Co.-great tutorial-
Oh thank you, that was the tuturial i was looking for. I cant wait to get home from work today. I have masaquered one of my mug rugs trying to bind it. Im one of those people that have to do it a bunch of times for it to stick. I have a little OCD going on and It has to be perfect in my eyes. These mug rugs will be the perfect practice to nail it down for me. hopefully I will get over my dread of binding after this. :)

Check out how a master quilter does it.
You don't have to incorporate every step she does, but at least it will give you some ideas.
I will say that my binding, which I thought was pretty good, improved tremendously once I started incorporating some of her methods.
Good luck.

Yes, I think these are great info. on binding. I've used her glue method and it sure makes hand sewing the binding on pretty painless. No pins to catch the thread on.

I would second the idea to watch Sharon Schambler's videos. I think you will find her binding method fun, very easy and probably will never do it any other way.

How on earth do you do that in only 45-60 minutes? It takes me several hours to do a crib quilt. I know I'm a slow worker and am very particular with my stitches - I try to make them very tiny, close together and invisible. The quilt will be washed a lot so I want to make sure the stitching is secure. It takes a long time but I love doing handwork so maybe I prolong the procedure a little, but I sure do wish I knew your secret!
