    I have the "thingy" and it does not work for me at all. I have tried a few times to use it but my binding is 2 1/4 so that skews the results. I prefer the continuous binding method snd use a modified Sharon Schamber's method. (without the glue).

    I make a lot of potholders and mini quilts so this would work for me. I like rulers that are made for one specific purpose. I have one that only has 7/8" markings. Some guild members thought that was silly but now they ask to borrow it after seeing how much time it actually saves not to mention saving from mis measured cuts. I don't like to pooh pooh ideas or tools until I've given it a chance.

    Seems like a waste of good money to me. Why not just miter the corners as you go? That's what I do. Very easy.

    Interesting. But, I would lose it, and end up doing it the old fashioned way anyway :lol:

    I like the way I do my bindings It seems very thin. I like a wider binding.

    I have to agree with you. I use it on all my art quilts and love the way it has the sealed miter corners. This is great for entering in shows. I also got one for my sister for her birthday. I thought the cost is under 10 bucks and that's not bad. This works good on pot holders too. Just flip and finish the other side and the miters are already done. I love it. GQ done. :-o

    Seems like another fussy gadget to me. Easier to do it the normal way.

    I wanted to add that their are no tails to deal with and practicing with pot holders is a good way to learn a neat method. Thanks

    :D [b]At first using it I was confused a bit, then initially I got it, it's lil confusing all the steps for each corner, and using the correct size for the binding, OK but I did watch the You Tube video like 5 times, hee hee. My quilts now have nicer corners, I can tell my older quilts from the newer ones by the quality. Thanks bunches!
