What a great idea. I'm going to try that. Thanks for sharing.

Pam, either one would be bad. LOL But, if you're using the toilet paper roll you can say you're going green.That's almost as good as the person who said she used her dryer lint in the toilet paper roll to start campfires. Who would ever have thought toilet paper rolls could have so many uses.

I roll my binding up and leave the hole in the center large enough to go over my wrist. It unrolls smoothly as I sew the binding to my quilt.

And the binding would be streaming behind you like the TP would!

I also read in a QM to roll the binding around a paper towel roll then put it on one of those free-standing paper towel holders. I'm gunna try that one.

I bought a plastic ribbon dispenser, on sale after Christmas one year. I carefully enlarged two slots into one and use that when I'm binding a quilt. I place the binding inside the box, feed the end through the slot, put the lid on and bind away. No more binding in the wheels of my sewing chair OR slowly choking myself.

I've rolled my binding up and put it into one of those small tissue boxes - works good for me but I will try these other ideas!
