Thanks everyone. I knew I could get honest, experienced answers here. lol I do agree $9.98 does seem steep for this itsy bitsy tool. I am always looking for tried and true methods. Thanks so much for all your help. Guess I won't be purchasing the "Binding Thingy". :mrgreen:

Look at method 2.
The only difference: I machine baste the edges of my binding together instead of pressing the strip in half. Reason: When the binding is wrapped, the inside curve has a shorter arc than the outside curve.

Whoa... that's a lot of steps to do something that is a whole lot easier the normal up/down way.
I agree about trimming the seam so close. The first washing or any tension put on it and I wouldn't be surprised if it came undone at that seam.

HeeHee...I'been dubbed "the gadget Queen" too.......but I have slowed down in purchasing every little thing after realizing that a lot of these gadgets are really more work than the way I have already learned.......such is the case with this Binding Tool. I used it once and put it back in it's package.....I doubt I will ever use it again......BUT, I have it....just in case.....LOL!
