Well I finally got around to putting binding on a lap quilt and got a chance to use this little tool for the first time. It works great. Worth every penny.

I really want that, but I'm having to watch my pennies right now. But I did find this video, and it really, really works. I'm going to do all my bindings like this from now on. Essentially it's the same thing without the tool.

I learned the fold, cut, cut, sew, cut method for doing the joinings. I don't have a problem any more, except sometimes I sew the beginning and ending sides too close together, and then I have to struggle with the joining. But it works without a tool. Maybe I'll put on a tutorial for it. It's really easy.

mine just came in the mail last week! i have to hurry and finish a quilt so i can try it out! :thumbup:

After reading the posts here I bought the tool from Missouri Star and I love it. I've always done bindings without a tool but this made it much faster for me. No guessing anymore.

i found a better tute on it, clearer

that is a better tutorial! thanks!

Well, as great as the tool looks, I've been doing my bindings using the method in the tutorial posted by Kitsie (http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-51632-1.htm) and I have to say it works perfectly every time. No tool necessary!

i get an error message when i click on that link..
