I love this tool....have made 1 lap quilt (per MSQS tute) and working on a full size one now.

I bought one 2 years ago and was confused when trying to use it. Haven't tried again especially where I saw other's where having problems with it and MSQC was trying to explain it. Guess I will have to dig it out again.

Thanks for telling us about the binding tool. I've looked at the video and I think I could get a lot of use out of this tool. Just ordered from MSQC. I'm going to write my instructions out and keep them with my tool so they will be handy when I need it.

I see where several has asked where to find this binding tool....you can find them in quilting stores as well as ordering on Missouri Quilting, where you will have to pay $5 for shipping so I suggest you look in your quilting stores first. The orange peel templates is also in quilting stores.

Just used it for the first time........wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!!!

It is interesting to know that it works perfectly every time. I use the triangle method mentioned above and it works perfectly 'most' of the time... sometimes I have to rip LOL

I always use bias cut binding on my quilts because they wear better and fit better. I leave a tail at the beginning that is about four inches of unsewn space. When I come back around the quilt I cut the binding-again on the angle direction to match the first tail. Slip the second tail into the first and mark with a pencil or other marking tool. Cut the second tail 1/2 inch from the marking line. Stitch together with a 1/4 inch seam and it fits perfectly. Finger press that seam open. Finish stitching the binding on.

I really like this tool as well. They sold it with a cut on a bias tool at a show I went too and I like that a lot as well.
