LOVE my binding tool!

Happy for you. I learned the double-mitered binding method a while ago and love it. Binding just frames the quilt.

What does a binding tool do for you?

I just used it for the first time too and it is great! Very accurate!

It's a tool that helps you put the two edges of the binding together to finish the quilt.

I love my binding tool, but it's different from the one sold here. I got it at a quilting show this year. Mine is shaped like a triangle and is so easy to use. It works for any size binding too, I like that. I've been thinking about making my binding 2.25" instead of 2.5" like I usually make.

My binding tool is gathering dust since I watched this video of Jenny's a couple of months ago. My binding joins have never been better.

I have the binding tool, but I much prefer the method Jenny teaches in the Ultimate Binding Tutorial. It works every time.

But I am glad you have found the binding tool to be helpful... Having a good, neat way to join the ends of the binding is the important thing....no matter what that way is. Mine used to always turn out to be lumpy. Now you can't tell where the ends meet, and I am thrilled.
