Janome bias binding tool
Perhaps it's just me but this tool seems to make more work then just binding the old fashioned way. I have no idea what it costs but I'm thinking rather expensive.

Everything looks easy with a MINI quilt, can't imagine using it on a real quilt. Our antique machines always came with the binding attachment, for a narrower finished binding, have used mine a few times and it is a simple attachment. But they make things now way more complicated and for a LOT of $$$, simple is better for me.
I will keep doing bindings the old way and more than likely much quicker.

I bought one....it has paid for itself many times over.....there is a learning curve, but once you catch on, it is so very fast and easy....does perfect corners and is all done by machine....I love it and would hate to be without it....

Ebay has a version of this tool starting at $17.99. I've always been a bit of a snob about hand sewing the finishing binding. But since I've starting making lap quilts for the veterans at our local VA Long Term Care facility I machine sew both sides of the binding. It just goes faster. And they get used a lot so the machine stitches hold up much better in the long run. I've gotten pretty good at it so the looks are not interfered with. In fact, for those give-away items I might invest in this tool.
