Hi Olivia's Grammy,
Yes, you need to practice using the Missouri Star Quilt Co. binding tool. Once you get it, it is SO easy and it makes you wonder why you didn't get it right away. Watch Jenny's 2nd (slower, more detailed explanation) video. I love the MSQC. These gals do a fabulous job with their tutorials. I love the binding tool and also ordered several for my friends for Xmas. they have a $5.00 flat shipping fee which I also love. Good luck with your binding tool! AnnaK
