Missouri Star Quilt Company has a tutorial on how to use the binding tool as a template, too. Sometimes we expect too much out of an item. I love watching how my corners come out so nice and neat. It didn't happen overnight but was a work in progress. I will get about 5 quilts ready to bind all at the same time and that is my handwork for Sunday. I don't know where you live, but you may benefit having someone work with you and show you how to bind minus the tool. There is another tool that works better. Just what you need -- another tool. :lol:

Thanks for the link, I printed it and will share with others.

Okay- so this is THE one! (from King's Daughter)

Thank you so much! This is so clear !! :thumbup:

I really like this video. It's very basic (she talks about pretty side and ugly side of fabric) and helped me do my binding without ever taking a class. I didn't do the glue though.

Good luck!

Great site for bringing binding over from the back.

I am a newbie to quilting and i have tried several different ways to bind. I can tell each time i get just a bit better, so give yourself some time. On my current project i am going to try to bind this way.

The first time I added binding to a quilt I followed the instructions in one of Eleanor Burns' books. Her instructions are fantastic. Really easy to do perfect binding every time.

I think ya'll just might have convinced me not to give up. I'm going to work on a table runner in the next day or so, I might give it another try.

Thanks!!!

Check out my binding instructions on QuiltersTV and under Quilters Cafe. The binding show is still airing. I am told it is very good instructions.....lol.
One thing I have learned in working with these instructions is absolute need for accuracy in seam allowances. I am heading to Atlanta next month to do more taping for QuiltersTV and will expand on the binding show.
After you get to QuiltersTV search for my name and Binding.

Don't give up! It really does get easier, the more you do it. Just like everything else, I guess! I'm hoping that one day, I won't even have to look at the directions! :roll:
