better late than never: Binding Tool review

Last year I bought a Binding Tool, and I promised to write a product review of it once I had used it.

Fast-forward a year.

OOPS!

Anywho. Better late than never.

I am binding inept. First one to admit it. It's one of my least favorite things to do in the whole quilting process, which, I sometimes think, doesn't make any sense because the project is almost over so shouldn't I be happy that I'm at the binding stage?

Not me. tee hee.

So I thought, okay, I'm going to pick up one of these binding tools to try and make my life a bit easier.

TMQs The Binding Tool
The instructions for using the tool are right on the ruler, permanently printed, which is really handy, since every single time I go to use it I need to be reminded how. Like I said, binding inept.

I have to admit: the tool confused me a bit for the first few times I used it. And it's probably just me, but I had to watch Missouri Star Quilt Co.'s YouTube tutorial every time while I was using it:
After several binding escapades, I finally have the hang of using the tool, and have to say, now I find it relatively simple to use - I still need to read the directions on the tool, but I only need to read them once now. >chuckles<

I'm glad I have it. It's definitely made my life easier, and my bindings look more flawless and less bump-tastic.

If you have one, I'd love to hear what you think about it. Maybe I'm the only blubbering binder out there ;)
