"Magic Binding tutorial on YouTube"

I also run into binding problems. I searched YouTube for "Magic Binding" but a few choices came back. Which is the one you referred to? I sure would like to simplify doing the binding so I don't dread it. Thanks in advance for your help.

I Still have trouble getting an accurate quarter inch - It is my issue, not my machine. I'm pretty good on cutting accurately but for some reason veer hither and yon while sewing. I want to spend a day with Sally Collins, who is the queen of accuracy but even if I were able, I'm sure I would induce a stroke or heart attack in her when she saw me sew!! I am very inspired by her.

binding gets me a lot.... when I sew the binding to the quilt and its comes time to join the ends. Sometimes I get it slick as can be and then many many times I just can't get it right! have to try it 5 or 6 times before its right :)

When straight line quilting I forget to go the other direction on every other row then I end up with pleating on the back. I also forget to reset my machine to what setting my project was previously on.

Donna Jordan has a great tutorial on binding on Youtube.

My most frequent problem is not recognizing when the fibro fog has set in and I don't realize I am doing simple math wrong... then I end up cutting wrong. I've decided since I don't have a warning bell that will go off and let me know I'm foggy, I will just look at those mis-cuts as more scrappy quilts in my future. LOL
