    I'm like Jean. I have a binding tool ... somewhere.

    I tried it for the first time yesterday and it worked great and I love it. I did watch the glue video and don't you have to let the glue dry cause you will get it all over your needed and it will squish out the sides. Once it dried won't it be hard? I don't know food for thought lol

    I actually like the binding tool. It helped when I started doing the exact 12" space that it calls for in the directions. : )

    Hey maybe you have a newer ruler, can you take a picture of the instructions and post it! 'Cause those of us with the old ones are missing some additional steps that they added later on after complaints. lol

    Ohhhh please!!!!

    Ask and ye shall receive Binding Tool-dsc03347.jpg

    Now I know it's probably too small to read, so I'll type the instructions as well:

    1) Sew on your binding leaving a 12" opening. You will need a 10" tail of binding on each side
    2) Butt the flat edge of the tool up where you stopped sewing. Bring the binding over the top of the tool (*along the longest edge!) and mark as indicated. Rotate 180 degrees and repeat with the binding on the other side. (*Do NOT flip over your tool! Printed side always faces up!)
    3) Open binding, lay rights sides up and cut from the marks you made. Place A tip on one mark (*very tip) and B corner on the other as indicated in diagram 3. Make sure to cut the straight edge as well as the 45' angle
    4) Sew ends together. Press seam open. This will work perfectly every time.

    I typed it exactly as it shows on the tool aside from the little notes I added for clarity (*like these!)

    Hope this helps ladies I haven't used it yet, I'm going to use it for a friendship braid table runner instead of using it for binding lol

    Thank you Dee! Yes, you have a newer one!! Mine has L and R on the tips versus A and B - Wording and Graphics are different as well. Copied yours into a Word Doc/Printed and now is in my binder with the tool. Lets hope I don't need to look up the video with Lily's quilt completion. lol

    lol Well I can't promise that the instructions on the ruler are as clear as Jenny's, but hopefully they'll help you remember so you'll have to watch the video less and less! lol

    I am with Coleen, I really like mine but I do an extra step. I actually pin my binding on the quilt and miter the corners as I go so I can make sure there is not a join in my binding at the corners. I pin the binding at the end 12 inches apart then use the tool to mark and cut as noted above. The I sew the binding ends together before I sew the binding to the quilt, I have not had any trouble with it fitting and it seems easier to me to have it joined in advance. I do use a walking foot to attach it.
    I know if I have enough binding for sure, too.

    i have the tool but never use it for my binding. i bought it to use for the braid quilt.
    i have my own method for binding that doesn't require a tool. learned it from a video i found a while ago.
