Binding maker and winder
Hello everyone: I was wondering if anyone uses the binder maker by Simplicity and the bias winder? I was given them as a gift over a year ago and finally decided to try them out tonight. I was blown away! I used the 2.5" piece, fed the strips in and in less than 5 minutes I had perfect binding, all wound on a spool on the winder. I could not believe it, why did I wait so long? The only thing is, though, the binding it makes is folded on each side of the strip rather than the "French" binding most quilters use, so probably will not wear as well as the French binding since there is only one layer of fabric on the outer edge of the quilt. But, for quick quilts and quilts that will not be heirlooms....it is the most amazing gizmo. Anyone else use one?
