I bought mine thinking it would be for binding. But it doesn't just fold it over once. It folds it like how you would want it to make an apron or vines on a quilt. I'm bummed about it. Is there any way to make it just fold over once, with wrong sides together, like how you want it for binding? I bought it from an online store and the gal and I have become friends, and I don't want to send it back because of this. So any ideas??? Thanks, Jeanne

I'm thinking this would be an issue also...but...there is no reason you can't let the rest lay on the table to feed in when it's time comes...would just need to watch.

I have one. I use it all the time. It took some practice to get use to it and have everything go smooth. I make straight double fold using the largest tip tool. I buy clearance fabric by the yards, doesn't matter what color or print and make binding out of it cut from the lengthwise grain so I don't have to sew a lot of strips. I have a bin full of ready made binding.

You have to purchase a different tip to make the single fold binding. Our Walmart has these tips (in at least two different sizes) for something like $7 each.
