Binding video
 

Yesterday I was watching a video on how to apply binding to a quilt and now I can't find it. I can't remember the name of the woman who was demonstrating.

I just watched Jenny Doan's video on binding and it was a good one. You might just look at her's.

While I don't know which one you were watching, my very, very favorite binding video is from Sharon Schamber called "Binding the Angel" on YouTube. I watch it every time I do a binding. It is so complete with everything you need to know about sewing a great binding. Just search for "Binding ther Angel" on YouTube and choose the 28 minute one. Apparently there are several others that are portions of the big one.

Heirloom creations has a neat binding method - no math. They use a tuck method that looks very easy. I am going to try this on my next binding. I usually do the method that Jenny (MSQ) uses.

Doesn't anybody take a quilting class at your LQS??? There is NOTHING better than meeting other quilters in a class and getting a few minutes of one on one instructions from an expert quilt teacher. No wonder there are postings of quilt stores closing. PLEASE, not critizing anybody in this post.

This is my favorite video on binding. I believe she must be a contender in the fastest talker but if you turn the sound off the demo is self explanatory.

Not everyone has an LQS. The closest one to me is over an hour away. We used to have dial up internet and even videos were a challenge back then. You have to rely on what works and what is available.

Patrick Lose has a You Tube video that is my favorite. I use this method all the time and have the best corners I have ever done since I started quilting about 30 years ago.

Some Quilters may not live close to a LQS, some maybe home bound. The internet videos have been my quilting lesssons.

I like his tips about how to get neat, smooth corners. Thanks for posting.

I watched this video and wanted to try using the glue. Does anyone know where to find that small metal tip to have better control over the amount of glue that comes out? I've tried looking online and can't seem to find anything that will work. Also looked at Michael's and Jo-Anns today with no luck. My next thought was to look at an Art supply store.

Anyone know what I can try?

The quilt store I was at last year had small empty bottles with a tiny metal tip. Also, in the section of hobby lobby where they have the model cars, there were some small plastic tips you could put on a bottle but I'm not sure what kind of bottle they fit on. I bought the tips but am not sure what bottle I was planning to use them on. I also bought one of the empty bottles at the quilt shop but as of this moment, I have no clue where it is. I saw it recently but then put it somewhere (probably somewhere safe where it wouldn't get lost) and now I can't find it.

You can order the one Sharon Schambers recommends here: http://www.purpledaisiesllc.com/mobi....aspx?id=37570

Here's the empty bottle I bought. I hope I find it soon...

To ManicQuilter2.....the closest LQS to me is 40 miles one way. This is where I learn.

Well, when the nearest quilt store is over an hour away, videos are a life saver. But I quite agree that a one on one would be wonderful , if it's available and affordable. Not everyone can pay for classes.

Purple Daisies is Sharon Schambers' website.

There is a YouTube video about using scotch tape to make a very fine point applicator. It's so simple you want to slap your forehead and say Why didn't I think of that! Or you can check the beauty supply store.

Closest quilt shop 20 miles away but still not a problem. I have to work full time. When LQSs start offering classes in evenings or weekends I will patronize them. I would love to take a "live" class. Sometimes the LQS does not make it easy so online classes is it.

YouTube and QB have been my quilting teachers. Without these 2 sources I would have been learning on the fly.

you can get a bottle with a luer lock cap that takes the syringe needles. the one i have is a 16 gauge 2" long tip with a 4oz bottle that i found on ebay or amazon. it was advertised for gun oiling uses but works great with glue and i can get different size needles for it, some from the pharmacy

You can also get them at feed stores.
