'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.
I just oust found the video where MSQC actually demonstrates exactly how to use the binding tool. It is clear enough of a demonstration that I now want one!
