I always had problems with getting the binding to 'match' at the end. I bought the Binding Tool that Jenny Doan at MSQ demonstrates and have NEVER been able to understand how it works even though I've watched the video multiple times. I know that there are several threads on Google with other people having issues with the binding tool, so that gives me some people in the same boat I find myself in. :0)
'The Binding Tool' is not a total loss as I've used it several times for the MSQ Friendship braid when I'm down to the wire to make a quick quilt. Here's wonderful Jenny's tutorial on this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpHAp_pyVXQ
This is the YouTube video that I have used for a couple of years now and I no longer have issues with binding a quilt of any size. I'm sure someone here directed me to this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWh90tXr7g4
Heirloom Quilts also has so many videos on rulers its a great resourceful site. I'm not affiliated with the shop just grateful for all their tutorials.
