I went and bought the plastic big jar with the cheese puffs in it. The kids ate the cheese puffs I washed the container and my husband cut a slit in the lid about 1/4 inch wide or smaller and about 3" long then I take the container and place it under my ironing board and when I am ironing the piece is going directly into the container, then I put the lid on and bring the binding up through the hole (no rolling) and go to my machine to sew it on. It comes out smoothly and it isn't all over the floor and I am not chocking (?? doesnt look right) myself with a spool around my neck. If I have binding left over I just leave it in the container in case I have something else to bind or want to use it for other things.
