One video is of the whole process of binding. The other is just how to connect the ends of the binding together without all of the confusion. Sometimes this is the most dreaded part for me. Somehow my mind cannot keep the techniques that I have learned from it laying on the table to moving it to the sewing machine. So a client asked me if I had a simpler way and as she was with me I found one. I'm so excited to share this.
This is the simpler technique of putting the end of binding together.
EXCITED!!!

You don't need pins or clips to hold the binding as your sewing after this.
