*** IN THIS VIDEO YOU WILL LEARN: ***
*Create straight edge binding
*Create bias binding (EDITED: True BIAS binding is when you cut your fabric on the bias as well as the ends of the binding strips so that you can bend it around curved edges easier. This tutorial shows you how to create binding that is joined on the bias. Sorry for any confusion!)
*Machine bind
*Hand bind (This usually means attach the binding to the front side using your machine, then hand sew the binding on the back side to finish it off.)
