found this binding tool called the binding thingy.
here is the link to see it, sorry retail site i ran across, not trying to
sell anything.
http://www.quiltersrule.com/template/tt-bt.html
here is a link to pdf file with the instructions.
http://www.quiltersrule.com/downloads/bindingThingy.pdf
and here is a link to a video showing how it works.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCHoM6lPwpU
she uses only a 2 inch wide binding strip.
seems to me this makes a finished 3/8 inch each side.
if that is too small ya gotta have a bigger binding thingy?
i only saw the one size there. doesnt appear to be used with multiple size
binding widths.
that said, dont see why ya couldnt make one of those yourself out of
something clear but stable.
seems good that it closes the mitre so no hand stitching afterwards to
finish it off. thats good, eh.
hmmmmm, see what you all thing about this thing/method and report back here
any thots on it.
nayy,
j.

maybe i dont even need to make one,
just follow the instructions, adjust with a ruler to the right points and
sew away.
then i get the size binding specific for each project,
sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller, than the 3/8" made with the 2 inch
strips she cut.
must go rewatch that video again to be sure i didnt miss anything.
how come this never dawned on me til there is a costly gadget to buy.
(rhetorical)

The 2-inch binding seems a little narrow to me, but it seems to work for her
just fine. All in all, applying binding with the tool seems a little too
much work to my mind, but then I've had pretty good luck with my current way
of doing it. And for the time being, if it ain't broke, I'm not going to fix
it! I can see, though, if binding and mitered corners aren't your cup of tea
and you haven't been successful with them using other methods, this would
certainly be worth a try.

For me, the best binding tools are plenty of time and a few good movies.
I've agreed to bind a quilt for a neighbor. Bless her, she installed all
the stuff on my computer for me and I owe her big time. She tried to bind
her quilt it buts tells me it's a disaster. The pure truth - I'm afraid to
look. Polly

i'd just not seen that method of eliminating the need to hand stitch the
mitre closed.
seemed a good thing for me to see the video.
having seen and thot about it somemore, i dont think ya need a tool, just
some common sense and a regular ruler should do the trick nicely.
