I love mine..:-)
I bought one to use in making the friendship braid quilt (which I still haven't done.. hrmmm...) lol
I have one and love it! I will never bind another quilt without it.
I am new to quilting so I bought that tool and love it. I can't imagine doing the binding any other way. Jenny's tutorial totally sold me on it.
will have to see the video when I get home I always feel challenged on where the binding comes together..Does this tool help with that?
I want one so bad and I'm so bummed that I missed the deal of the day on it!
I have one, lost it for months, just found it last week, bound dozens of quilts without it, so from my point of view, forgetaboutit!
Oh my gosh... I just love using mine!!! I can't do the binding right on a project without it. Only problem I have with it is when I have to bind a smaller project cause you need about a 10" opening.Also, still when I use it I watch the video then pause it, do the next step, then watch and do the next step, etc...
That thing is awesome! It sure would make doing the end part of binding a whole lot easier--I have to get myself one of those! Thank you, Julie, for posting the tutorial link! :)
I just use this method - no tools, no measuring, and you can use it on smaller projects.

I have one, tried to use it a couple of times but not very successfully, I now know another way to put the binding on that is so much easier that I wont use mine again except for making a friendship braid which is on my to do list to.
I have one and don't like it at all. I thought it would be a big help but I like my method better. Easier and no tool. I do want to make a friendship braid however.
I ordered one after watching the video. Can't wait to try it.
There is a new tut by Jenny on making a table runner using the binding tool as the template and not just for the binding!
Eliza I use the exact same video for my binding....Love it! I own the binding tool and have used it, but my problem is I like to make wider bindings and start out with a 3" strip of fabric or wider. I found the binding tool harder to use with strips wider than 2.5" or for smaller projects. When I found Marci Baker's Youtube video it immediately made sense to me and works perfectly every time, no matter what size binding or project I am working on! All I need is my hands and a straight pin!Quote:
