I think they do make tips for quilt bindings.

Thanks -- I just tried this with a practice sandwich, and it looks great. It will certainly do, durability wise, for a wall hanging. I might buy that other tip, though, Weezy Rider, just to keep my options open and be able to do double-fold as well. Thank you both.
