So last night I followed Sharon Shamber's binding video.The 3/8" SA was a ah ha moment, my 1/4" SA usually resulted in some waves in my binding. Binding rolls over perfectly now. And I love how you join the two ends of the binding to get a nice smooth binding. I have this video specially bookmarked.
I didn't have the tip for the glue bottle but was just careful not to over squeese the bottle. The glue does make the flannel a little stiffer for sewing down the binding.

You will fine them in the decorative painting (tole painting) area of your craft stores. It is metal and has a metal stick to keep the tip clean. As it screws on you will probably need to get a small bottle, paint size, to put the glue on.I happened to have one as I paint also and better than I quilt...LOL. I've been using my elmers straight from the elmers bottle. You get very good control.

I went to three places today to try to find it, but nobody even knew what it is!! What's going on here? Is it a figment of our collective imaginations? Did we really see her using it on the tute? Has anyone found it yet???
