I've only made a few quilts so far so I also keep a copy of how to do binding nearby so I can refer to if need be. Good luck, you'll get it. Remember this is supposed to be fun.
I also have this tool, and I love it. I not only keep the paper directions nearby, I recorded the show that showed how to use it, and I refer to that as well. I can stop it and restart as needed, it's like having them right there teaching you.
