I didn't like it at first but now I use it for all my binding. It took me a few times to get perfect results but now I get perfect folded binding every time. I cut strips and DGD makes the binding for me when she's here. She thinks it is cool! One thing I learned by practicing, when winding the strips on the spool, keep the binding joined seams going into the tip seam first not seam allowance first. This keeps the strip from skipping or stopping. Once I figured out the little details, the binding strips zip through like butter.
