This reminded me of a tip I learned in my first quilting class. If you prick your finger while quilting and a little blood gets on your quilt and/or backing Your own saliva will take your own blood out and keep it from staining.

This is probably the best binding video I have seen and as a newby everything is a great help. I was using the glue to hold the last side w/o pins while finishing the quilt but not using glue for the first stitching of it ( and don't know if I ever would ), but to put the strips together and for the bias seam at the end it she sure does make it look simple. For anyone hunting for the tip she uses look in the area where the bottles of paint for tole painting, etc are located. I am a better painter than quilter and happpen to have one.

This is the best lesson I have ever seen for binding a quilt. In fact this gets 5 stars from me as a tutorial! Thanks for sharing. When I first read your message, I just didn't understand what the heck you were talking about when you mentioned "the tip." But as soon as I looked at the beginning of the tute, I thought "where would I get that tip for the glue bottle?" I went back and re-read your message and understood! I just have to get the glue and the tip, then I'll be all set to try this system of binding on the quilt I'm finishing up right now. Thanks again! :lol:

that is the best instructional video I have ever see. I didn't know you are to sew down the mitered corner on the front of the quilt. I have the glue will be going out to get the tip for the bottle. I've got this site bookmarked.
Thanks SZYQuilt for leading us to this site. Dar

Yes, I agree with you! Thank you for the information on where to purchase the tip she had on her glue bottle. I wondered at the time I was watching the video where she got it!

About controlling the binding while sewing it on. \
When I'm pressing my binding in half lengthwise, I fold it accordion style - about 6" wide.
I lay the accordion "pile" in front of my machine on the right side of the needle.
While sewing it on, it just naturally feeds out with no twisting, rolling on the floor or ravelling of the raw edge.
Other than that, my best tip ever was: "There are no quilting police." You can try anything, no one will shoot you.!
