I''ve been wracking my brain about what gadget has been the biggest waste of money for me. There have been lots of things I've purchased in the past that did not live up to all they advertised themselves to be BUT, for me, the "Binding Thingie" was the worst. It looked so simple but I just could not figure out the instructions - even with little photos so I went to utube and brought up a video and I STILL could not figure it out. Wrecked some scrap fabric - no big deal. I never did call the lady who created it. Felt too dumb.
