I had seen a tip many years ago for binding that I have used ever since. After you make and press the binding, you roll it onto a cut up pool noodle putting straight pins into the fabric and foam every so often to hold them on the roll. To make the foam rolls, you would hold the pool noodle on your cutting board and with a serrated knife, cut it off every 6 or 8 inches (I guess you would need it longer if you wanted to put a full 40 strip jelly roll onto the foam roll) easy peasy. All of my bindings stay really well and are ready to use when I want them and the pins hold the fabric in place.
