Wind your binding into a figure 8 so No twisting!
Hello and Happy Quilting New Year!
I wanted to share with you a video that shows how to wind your binding into a figure 8 shape. You will see as the binding is attached to the quilt, there is no twisting. I tried it and it works. My binding was 285".

Ps. I wanted to attach my photos of how my binding looked but am not successful. I went to attach the files under manage attachment and no success.

Thanks for posting this video. I make binding for a charity that I help but I generally send it in rolls (like the way jelly rolls are rolled up). The next time I send some binding I will include some like the video & see if they like them better than the rolls.

Photos of my binding wound into figure 8
Here are the photos of my binding wrapped in a figure 8. I really like this method that keeps the binding from getting tangled as you attach it to the quilt. I hope you try it out.

I'll check into that, when I was a lifeguard we were trained to coil our ropes in figure 8s.
I wrap mine around a piece of cardboard, I like to cut the cardboard around 10x18" long so I can easily count my yardage, but sometimes a smaller piece fits in the project box better.
