I should have read all the posts before I posted my comment.......all you do is stick your pin on your ironing board then right back out again, then back into your board again an inch or however big of binding you want. Fold your strip at the tip the way you want it, work it under your pin, then start pulling it, ironing as you go. Works great for me.

This is not the same tutorial I saw before. But here is a link to a Utube video showing how it is done.\

(Now I have to make some bias binding before I forget. Maybe if I actualy do it once, I'll be able to remember next time.)

This tool is for double binding. All it does it help fold the binding for pressing.

I have bought every attachment I could find--binding feet that attach to your machine (uses purchased single layer binding), one that attaches to the bed of your sewing machine--still makes single layer binding and the Simplicity binding machine whose regular "feet" make single layer binding. So all in all, if you use single layer strips to bind your quilts these all will work fine. I have yet to find one to do the double layer binding. If anyone knows of one that will please let me know!
