I am anxiously awaiting some responses also. I have looked at this tool before and considered buying but didn't know how difficult it would be to use.

I'm not one for gadgets. I like the Kaye Woods tutorial for binding. I'm glad they have the tutorial videos now.

I'm not one for lots of gadgets either. The above tutorial is a good one and if that doesn't work for you there are numerous others on you tube and I think Missouri Quilts.

By the way "Thanks Patrice" if you see this for teaching me how to do these website links.

I use the fons and porter tool. After I figured it out, I liked it, but it took a couple of tries.

There's a binding foot for the Janome but I've never tried that. So far I just do it myself.

I just did a search here on the QB to see if anyone has used the Bernina binding too yet because I just got one. They gave me a sheet of instructions, but I haven't tried it yet.

I have not heard of the Binding Thingy tool, but I love it! Looks like it will be very helpful since it has all the measurements on it as well as the angles for cutting the ends. Clever idea.

What exactly are you having trouble with that you feel the need for this tool?

I don't have the tool, however, I finally figured out how to do the binding ends without, It took me about a year.

Binding gadgets were made for quilters like me. Maybe it is because I am so left handed, at any rate, I just couldn't follow instructions for joining my binding, I'd rip and resew about 5 or 6 times on every quilt. Finally, I purchased The Binding Tool by TOM Products. MSQC has a tutorial on using this tool. That solved my problem. I haven't had to resew a binding since. I know, if I were smarter, I wouldn't need that tool; but it works for me and was well worth whatever it cost. I have never used the binding tool you pictured.

Like Franc36, I use the Binding Tool. It's easy to use and understand. Jenny has a video how to use it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex2PajesRvU I don't remember the cost either, doesn't matter.
