My new binding dispenser (inspired by firefighters)
 
4 Attachment(s)
This all started when DH and I were watching a video of a fire. DH was commenting how
the firefighters had their hose rolled when it should have been folded. He even gave me
a demo how it's more efficient to fold the hose, etc. That evening I was putting my binding
on and thought...why don't I try to fold my binding like the firefighters and see. Well, it worked
so well I told DH about it and he said he could make me a tool to hold my binding. So here it is.
I glued a piece of felt at the bottom just because. Hope some of you try this method and
let me know what you think. No more rolling for me. :)

I like your idea! You and your husband are brilliant!

Isn't that clever! Wonder is a napkin holder would work?

Great tool! I just wind mine around a 12" ruler then I know pretty much how much I have. The biggest problem I have is remembering where I put it when I need it!

I fold my binding and lay on the floor between my feet and that works too.
Your idea is quite clever.

well how cute!! so far I've been using a small plastic bag that I stuff the handle of under my machine. I put my binding inside that and pull it out as I go along.
