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.

I think the reason she uses a 2" strip is because she's only doing
single-fold binding, rather than the double-fold I prefer. I can't think
why single-fold wouldn't be fine on many quilts, but I still prefer a

double-fold binding. <G>

But it is double fold -you can clearly see in the YouTube that she
folds the strip in half before stitching to the quilt.

Yes, she does, but I thought I also saw her unfold it to sew it to the
quilt. I could easily be mistaken.

OK, I looked at the pdf file of instructions. The cut binding strip is
2" wide (where it shows how to join strips), and it's 1" wide as she
sews it on. You can see the grid of the cutting mat next to it.
