Placemats and Binding Tool
 

From my daughter (she lives in california)I got this summer when she visited us, a "binding tool": I had seen it on a site at the internet and I thought, it could be useful!!! And I was right: I used for the binding of these placemats and it was going very fast to sew the binding on!!!

And if you wonder: I sewed the binding on the backside, turned it to the right side and machine stitched it to the mat!!!

Came out great.

Nice job. I've seem those tools, but didn't really know if they were that good. I see they are.

great tool.I sew mine on the same way-minus the tool-I need to get one of those

Beautiful work!!!

yes a very helpful tool

nice

cute place mats. yep, now that I have the measurements in my head, I don't use my tool anymore. I just cut and sew the binding. wish I knew where that tool was though. I could use it for braid quilts.

Very nice mats. I love those helpful tools.

Pretty mats. Thanks for the tip! I've wondered if that tool really helps.
