I like the idea of those binding cutters, but will it only cut bias...I don't use bias binding on quilts and I don't do appliqués vines on a regular enough basis, the few occasions I do need bias cuts i will just cut what I need the olde fashion way! But, if it does cut straight binding...I'm on my way to buy one!

If you join the binding strips, be sure to press the seams all in the same direction and have the seams facing to the right when going through the tip. I found this has the strip feeding through much smoother at the seams. The tip tools are not that expensive. I use the largest size all the time, rarely use the small ones. I cut bias strips this way:

and the machine folds it perfectly.
