I place the tied cord over my head and wear the whole thing so the binding feeds off the tube and does not get tangled, especially if I am doing a large quilt. Looks funny,but it works.
I've tried this one, and nearly hung myself! LOL! Went back to just throwing it in a pile on top of the quilt and dealing with it!
