I don't use any tools for the binding. I use Sharon Schamber's method for most of it. The ending I find easiest to use this method:

When the binding is on the quilt, I press it out away from the seam. It "rolls" over to the other side better this way. Pressing the corners helps too.

I'm interested.

A friend purchased the binding tool from Missouri Quilt co. She wasn't impressed. I did see where they were showing how to use it to make a quilt pattern. Check there for more info.

Ann,
I for one would love a tutorial that would make this tedious job easier!

To me, it is the hardest part of quilting.

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.
Thanks,
That was very helpful.

Pins? I use needle, thread, pins, and scissors. Oh yes, and my glasses. Other than that, no tools.
