    Thank you for posting this. She does a great job of actually showing what she is talking about. My only caveat is she makes joining the ends really difficult on herself. Her binding by machine might make binding much faster, I am only wondering how much time measuring and cutting, and sewing the extra binding strip takes. I might just have to try it on a small item.

    I quickly scanned all the sites listed and am going to try them on small pieces to see which one "clicks" with me.
    Thanks, Everyone.

    This is the only way I do binding now. I love the look of it and how easy it is to do.

    I was thinking the same thing, but really, the suggestion to use invisible thread was an aha moment for me. I recently bought a device for stitching the binding in the ditch on the front as shown in the video, but without a flange. I still have a hard time hitting that ditch. Why didn't I think of invisible thread before? Now I have some questions: If you've used it, is there a downside? I remember having a blouse that had invisible thread used to stitch in the label, and the thread end was scratchy. Is that a possible problem on a quilt? Also, would it hold up as well as normal thread?

    I will definitely use this method on my next small project. Thanks for posting this excellent video! Also, I browsed around the website some more, and there's some neat eye candy and inspiration as well as some other tutorials to check out.
