    Hi, I need help with ending my binding. I've been quilting for several years and believe it or not, have not mastered ending my binding. Help!!!

    I've been sewing for years also and haven't mastered it. I did find a binding tool by Fons and Porter and it works wonders. I was leary when I bought it, but it works great and it isn't expensive.

    I think this is the same method as athenagwis posted, but it is a video.

    I love this way to finish the binding, no special tool is required.

    Thank you.

    That is so much simpler than the way I had been struggling with.
