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.

here's a link to the first part, the other 2 parts follow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PE0Yq9iGlc

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

This youTube one is from Connecting Threads

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.

Thank-you for all of the feedback. The best instructions I have found for "squaring" a quilt is in "Quilter's Academy vol.1" p. 1012. It's short but to the point. I guess I'm just afraid to cut! You can see this is my first quilt!

Glad I decided to "watch" this! I can't begin to describe how I have been doing bindings all this time. Thanks for the posts/tuts!

I just found a good basic tut for squaring a quilt: utube: Nancyellenquilts.

Oooh, that's a good one. Here's the link:
