Does anyone know of a good tutorial on preparing a quilt for binding and then binding? Thank-you.

I don't, but I'll be interested in the answers, too. I'm just about at that stage.

go to utube and search Sharon Shramber I don't know if I spelled her last name right. SHe has a great tutorial on sewing binding.

Good question. I measure a lot and try and make sure it is square as I go. Of course, there may be times that can't be done.

Nancy, that is a really nice tut on the binding, thanks for putting it up.

Thank you! This video from Connecting Threads explained everything very well!

Sharon Schamber's tutes are very good, but I think they might be a little overwhelming for beginners. I know the first time I watched them, I was! There seems to be soooo much to think about and keep in mind. Once you've done two or three and have the basic concepts down, Sharon's very detailed tutes become a lot easier to digest.

I started watching hers, but yes, it was something I thought I might come back to after I had some experience. I wouldn't say "overwhelming," exactly, but her video was more advanced than what I was looking for.
