VAL and Nancy-I haven't cut out the binding yet. I'll definitely make sure that's what I use. I think the instructions tell me how to cut it out. Does yours typically lay flat and do you need a lot of pins. Last time I used the binding in a pack, but this time I'm going to cut it out myself. I'm keeping my fingers, toes and eyes crossed. I wish the new board didn't separate the words. I didn't hit the return key after the o in out or after the t in after. Is it me or happening to others too. Maybe because I'm using my tablet. I've just never had it happen with the old board
