Before that, I was just making a mess of my binding. I did do a couple of practice runs on scraps before I tried it on an actual quilt and I did get it twisted a couple of times like she said can happen.

I also do double binding and I cut my strips at 2 1/2 inches.

Thank you SOOO much for this! I printed it out and made a little pamphlet to keep. I'm pretty new at quilting and love to keep these tutorials in my files.

I have that tool. It's quick and easy. You can do it without the tool, too, by following the tut, but this is the way I learned first. I didn't mind spending the money because I was working and looking for a time saver.

I get books on CD from the library and listen to them while I'm quilting. It's great!

I have been quilting for many years and I still struggled with getting the ends so come together properly until I tried the method shown in the Quiltmaker magazine. It's in their insert QM basic lessons. Here is a link to a completely machine sewn binding with a Faux piping on it and it's really neat. http://tlcstitches.blogspot.com. She has a great tutorial on this and it really makes a quilt look great with that little extra piping. Give it a try and be sure and says thanks for the tutorial.

Go to: www.quilterstv.com and look under Quilters Cafe and then see if my video is showing. It is titled Binding or some similar name. Easy way to do your binding and you don't need any tools.
