I have both large and small binder tools, but never use them for binding because I don't do mitered bindings anymore. I decided to keep them and use them for templates, probably for the same pattern that you can't think of right now. I can't think of it either. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png

Ha!! It's buried in my disaster room somewhere.https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png

My two least favorite notions: Every thimble I ever bought, finally gave up and let the callouses develop while keeping band-aids nearby just in case I poked myself. The other thing is every rotary blade sharpener that I purchased, also gave up, the cost of replacement blades is money well spent rather than the frustration of sharpeners that don't work.

The binding tool is great for joining the the two ends. I seldom do two fold bindings or bias binding anymore. I use single fold straight seam binding. A quilt historian said it will take a long time for a single fold binding to wear away before the quilt so she quit using double fold bindings.

This is very good info!

I've come ::this:: close to buying a rotary blade sharpener but read the reviews and change my mind. My sister said there is one that you run your blade through, while still attached to the handle, that looks more interesting to me than the other kind. I can't remember what it is called but I know I saw it on Amazon.

Suzie, It seems I can order all the containors you want and I am still not organized.I think it is that I have too much.

About what I bought and do not like is the pounce powder and sponge thing.

I use the Pounce chalk marker a lot. Did you know you have to slam it about 50 times as hard as you can after filling before the initial use? After that all you have to do is swipe it across the stencil.

I agree with this!! The madness never ends, does it?https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png
