Just want to share this binding caddy I made from a wire pants hanger from the dry cleaner and a paper towel tube. The tube comes off easily to wind the binding onto it, then you can hang it out of the way while you sew. Keeps the binding neat and tangle free! Best of all, it didn't cost a cent!

Wow,great idea!! You are so clever.

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 05-20-2011 08:59 AM

That might be better than my method of throwing it over my shoulder and ending up with it wrapped around my neck. Some day when I choke myself to death, the local cops will really be scratching their heads!

Oh wow, better than tying a string with the binding on it around your neck. that didn't work for me, think I'll try this though, looks promising...Thanks

I thought that was just me. Never gave a thought to what people would think when they find my lifeless body someday.

:-D

OP, I like your improvised caddy. Neat idea will have to figure a way to make it work for me.

no1jan 05-20-2011 10:16 AM

Great idea!

Mariposa 05-20-2011 10:34 AM

Neat idea!

Janet My 05-20-2011 10:49 AM

I like your idea. LOL I may try your method. I've gone as far as tying a stip of left over old binding around my neck that I've rolled the binding onto. It works well till the phone rings and you get up and choke yourslef half to death. LOL I've learned... keep the phone at arms reach when you're putting on the binding.

Iamquilter 05-20-2011 10:53 AM

Very neat idea , will have to try that the next time I bind a quilt.

Kelly R 05-20-2011 11:53 AM

Now that's using your noodle!

blossom808 05-20-2011 11:55 AM

Now thats a Great idea. Thanks for sharing, I will be making one of this..

Fabaddict 05-20-2011 01:04 PM

great idea - you can also use a paper towel or tp tube and use a paper towel holder - the kind that sits on the counter

harvsstuff 05-20-2011 01:07 PM

DMotyl 05-20-2011 02:24 PM

Great idea. I don't have any of those hangers, but I might have a few wire hangers hanging around and with a paper towel holder I will be golden. Thanks for the idea!
