Seems like a great idea but not for $25.00 way to expensive for me

I may not be the best quilter ever, but I have no trouble with just folding binding and pressing. Tried the safety pin thing and I still prefer the folding and pressing method.

I have a set way of making binding, but would like to see what you all do with the pins.

I'd like to know how to do this too. Maybe if someone knows of a web site or You Tube address? Thanks!

looks to me like a very pricey gadget that doesn't do anything original....guess I didn't know bindings are that difficult to press.

I have 3 different sizes of bias tape makers. Metal - folds each side in - makes single sold bias. Didn't cost that much.

There is a tutorial using the pin method SOMEWHERE on the web. I had it saved in my favorites and my computer crashed and I lost all of my favorites on AOL. If I find it I will post it.
