I bought one 2 years ago and was confused when trying to use it. Haven't tried again especially where I saw other's where having problems with it and MSQC was trying to explain it. Guess I will have to dig it out again.

Thanks for telling us about the binding tool. I've looked at the video and I think I could get a lot of use out of this tool. Just ordered from MSQC. I'm going to write my instructions out and keep them with my tool so they will be handy when I need it.

I see where several has asked where to find this binding tool....you can find them in quilting stores as well as ordering on Missouri Quilting, where you will have to pay $5 for shipping so I suggest you look in your quilting stores first. The orange peel templates is also in quilting stores.

I always use bias cut binding on my quilts because they wear better and fit better. I leave a tail at the beginning that is about four inches of unsewn space. When I come back around the quilt I cut the binding-again on the angle direction to match the first tail. Slip the second tail into the first and mark with a pencil or other marking tool. Cut the second tail 1/2 inch from the marking line. Stitch together with a 1/4 inch seam and it fits perfectly. Finger press that seam open. Finish stitching the binding on.
