Binding tip
 

I cut an empty toilet paper tube in half and wound my binding on it and set it on the upright spindle on my machine, worked perfectly

I do that, too, only after I wrap it, I put the roll in a small box on the floor beside the machine and feed it up that way. The box seems to corral it for me and it is in position. Thanks for sharing.

An empty tissue box works great!

Great tips!! Thx!

thanks for sharing that tip,. i've put it on a tp roll, but put a ribbon through it and hung it around my neck

Good tip. I lift my acrylic table and up and putt my binding on the leg. That works good too.

I roll my binding on an empty paper towel roll and then put it on a paper towel holder and it rolls off nicely as I sew. I place the holder on the floor to my right and it winds right off.

So clever! I could have used that tip today-just finished binding my latest.

Good tips.

This is what I do also, except I use a tube that is much thicker than a TP roll. I cut the tubes the same size as a TP roll. I will try your tip. Thanks!

I have been saving my thread spools (Coats and Clark large ones) for a while now and wrap my binding around that put a cord through the center and hang it around my neck makes it very easy to place binding where it needs to be.

I use the plastic box bathroom wipes come in, feed it up through the opening under the snap top- works great too. All good ideas for whatever you have on hand!

All great ideas! So much better than being scrunched on the floor which is what happens to me. Thanks!

I also use the paper towel tubes

Feffertim, thanks for the great tip.

I wrap the binding in a circle leaving the center big enough to pass my hand through. Slip in over hand onto wrist and let it feed off as I am sewing the binding on. Got tired of running over it with my chair!

I use a toilet paper core and knit an I cord which I put through the tube and tie around my neck. There are 2 tricks - 1 - wind the binding tightly around the core; 2 -turn the core while stitching on the binding or it will get tangled. I have used this method for large quilts and it is so much better than putting it in my lap.

Great ideas. I am going to use some of them today. Wish I had seen this years ago.

Thanks for these tips everybody....it beats what I've been doing and that is letting in drag on the floor, LOL

Some very good tips here. I especially like the one using the paper towel spool along with the towel holder.....Thanks!

I still just keep it laying in my lap......sometimes it works and other times, it's all over the place!

Thanks for the great tip.
