I am trying to find a binding tool for my good friend Eileen. She saw a special binding tool demonstrated at the International Quilt Festival last year that folded out rather long. She has regreted not buying it all year and returned to the Quilt Festival this year to find they were not there. We can't find it anywhere on the internet. Does anyone know what this is called, have they seen it or know where to buy it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I like the utube video on binding. Easy peasy, didn't need the tool after all.

Was it like this one? http://www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/detail/2060

Are you talking about a binding tool that makes the binding so it can be attached or a binding tool that helps you join the beginning and the end when it's first sewn on to the quilt?

I use the Fons and Porter small square binding (end) tool. Otherwise I cut and fold and iron on my own...no tool. Easily bound 3 quilts last night.

We bought them at the advice of a local quilting guru. None of us use it as it is so easy to do without. I know there are UTube videos out there and written info in many quilt magazines.

Thanks Ladies for all the comments. I do the binding without a tool but she is a beginner and is convinced she needs the tool. I think it is like the one posted from Missouri Quilt Co. I will forward to her and see if that is it.

Fons & Porter also, has a little binding tool that works very well. I use it & the one from MSQC. They both come with & instruction sheet that is easy to follow. I would recommend either of them. God Bless!!
