I never thought to use a toilet paper roll for the binding. Mine is all over the room depending on the size of the quilt. This is amazing. Something I may start using very soon.

I puddle mine in a clean coffee mug. It works perfectly for me. It's heavy enough not to turn over and I can move it if I need to.

I just let it roam around on the floor!

So many useful ideas for handling binding! Thank you all!

I find this works best for me. I don't make wall hangings or table runners etc.

Personally I don't see what the fuss is about having something to roll our binding strips on. When I make binding I will roll it up on itself (think coil not ball) and set in my lap. Bit by bit I unroll it and sew. It's never been a problem for me.

This is what I do too. And at some point I either step on it or roll my chair over it.

I may have to try rolling it up. Good idea!

This is me too! Lol, you'd think I'd figure it out...or remember.

Any chance someone can post pictures of this hack?

I roll mine up onto an empty spool and then put the spool on an extra spool pin on my machine. I have a Singer 401a, so there is one at the base of the machine. I once used an old tissue box to make keep it rolled up and pulled it through the tissue box opening, much like a desk top tape dispenser. It worked pretty well too. Next time I do binding I'll take a pic. I don't like the puddling because I inevitably roll over it with my chair or it gets tangled.
