Many of you may already know this but just in case. When pressing binding, pin a safety pin to the end of the ironing board. Put the binding through the safety pin (it will glide easily) and press it as it comes out of the other side.

I purchased a pin cushion at a craft fair that hangs around my neck. I love it. My pin cushion is always with me, at the cutting table, at the ironing board, at the sewing machine . . . sometimes I forget I'm wearing it, though, and nearly walk out the door with it on. Nice necklace!
There are so many great tips here! Thanks everyone! Yes, there have been other similar threads, and I never tire of reading them.
DH is going to hang a pegboard next to my cutting table for me to hang my rulers, rotary cutters, scissors, etc. on. I can't wait!

I roll my binding strip onto an empty toilet paper roll and just stick a pin in it to stop it from unrolling if I'm not going to use it right away.
Also when I do sew on my binding I pass a ribbon through the toilet paper roll and tie it around my neck. As I'm sewing the binding strip rolls off the tp roll and doesn't get tangled on the floor or twisted around.

I've also used the tiny ponytail holders, but I like the plastic better because you can see the thread through them.
