They look simple to do when demonstrated at the shows and most likely have their uses in select situations. I was not satified with my bindings until I took the time to figure out what I was doing that caused my dissatisfaction. You not I didn't say "wrong" When I figured it out then they got easier to do. I don't believe the binding tools are worth the money, especially at $244. Having said that.....I have been thinking that they may have their use if doing a lot of quilts to give away....that is after you get comfortable with using it.
i have that same gadget. it works fine on purchased prequilted fabric but I cannot get it to work on anything else. the following year I went back to the show to complain and the woman demo-ing finally admitted it takes a lot of trial and error to get it right. she gave me the "new improved" video but the results are the same
