I was in Kansas City during the shophop but for a different reason. I asked to stop at one shop so I went to Prairie Point. They had a lady demonstrating the Binding Tool. I was so impressed that I reached in front of her and bought 2. One for me and one for a quilting buddy. They have a tutorial on You tube.

If that doesn't work go to their website www.MissouriQuiltCo.com
You will be impressed by how simple it is to use. It works perfectly every time.

OK so I tried the link to You tube. It takes you to You tube in the box type the binding tool and then it will pop up with the tutorial

Is this it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex2PajesRvU

I haven't used it yet but I think this may become a favorite of mine. Here is the link: http://suepellanddesigns.com/shop/category/tools/
It is the orange rulers. There are 6 different size scallops on the three rulers. It can be used to make leaves, flowers, and as a quilting guide for lines. I am really looking forward to using it.

I bought it but would just as soon do binding as Sharon Schambers does in her glue binding tute. doesn't use a tool at all.

Straw Needles. I love them when I am hand sewing the binding onto the quilt back. My fingers do not get sore. Using reg. needles they did.

My newest tool is the bias tape maker. I used to do it myself but using the tool is a lot faster

You can all laugh at me but it was the Quilting Board. I learned so much from here from everyone here with their ideas and pictures and items to sell.

Thanks

Yes, Matilda, this is the right Youtube tutorial. Thanks, I must have mistyped something. I really like this tool and it works everytime.

I have the binding tool too and I love it.

My favoite "new tool" is a pair of tweezers!!! I sometimes have trouble pulling needle through all the layers if I do too many stitches when quilting. I used a pair of scissors and ruined them so I thought about the tweezers and they work great.

Well I think I have bought several goodies this year but the one that comes to mind first is my steady betty. Its a ironing surface that won't let your fabric stretch when you iron. I'm not very good at remembering to press not iron so this helps me alot.

I bought it at JoAnn online with a 50% off coupon and got free shipping. It was a promotion they had for a couple of days.

Same here, I just bought the larger ones (with the angled edge) at JoAnn's with the 40% off coupon. I can't imagine how I worked before without them. They just grab the edges so nicely, and my fingers aren't sore anymore!

I have to agree with the poster above. The best tool so far has been this board! I just recently discovered it.

I'm amazed at how much I've learned just perusing past topics. I especially love the Elmer's glue trick! This has saved countless ripping outs & removed a lot of the frustration I'd found in sewing patches together.

The other trick I really liked was marking the bobbin thread for the first few rounds so that I'll know when the bobbin thread is close to running out. I only have a very old electric Kenmore sewing machine...it just barely zig zags let alone beeps when the bobbin thread is low!

I bought the binding tool in Loveland during the Quilt Show. It is one awesome tool. Works every time.. But I have to agree with Pojo, the Quilting Board is very awesome too.
Lots and lots of help and tips.

Other than the Elmer glue stick (LOL - love this) my favorite new tool for me would be the rotating olfa cutting board. Plus I have to agree that the QB also has helped me with new ideas and such. Learn something new almost everyday. Thanks members
