I don't know if you consider it a tool but it's my book on bindings entitled Happy Endings.

I got the Binding Tool at a quilt show and just love it! BUT I still struggle with the mitering of corners, so any tut that contains that would be A#1 to me! Holice - am off to watch you video.

I probably have all the "special binding" tools made and found very little use for them. I do know that others have found these gadgets helpful.
Holice you have so much knowledge. Thanks for taking the time to share it with everyone. :thumbup:

I purchased the binding tool from Missouri Star Quilt Company and it is a dream to use. It can also be used to make French Braid Quilts. It works really well, and was worth the cost. So many times the wonder tools are purchased andnever find their way out of a drawer or box - this in one handy little tool.
