    Question The Simplicity Binding machine-- yea or nay

    I have been thinking about buying this to help me with my binding. I do not enjoy this last step of finishing the quilt. Has anyone used one. Thanks

    I have it it makes very nice binding. There are different size attachments for it. I do not mind making my own binding but the machine does do a nice job. It was a gift, I am not sure I would have purchased it for myself.

    I use it for any strips, including straight for sashing. Or trim. Don't lose the 1" binding foot. You can't get another very easily. It comes with the machine and is not for sale otherwise.

    I have it and love it! I bought all the different size attachments with copons at JoAnn's. It's probably the best gadget I've purchased and actually use.

    I just used mine yesterday. It does a real nice job of folding and pressing the binding. Saves your fingertips from being burned on the iron.

    Is this the bias tape maker machine? I just watched a you tube video of this thing in action and WOW! Was I impressed! What a handy gadget to have. I may have to get me one of those!

    I have one, it does a nice job of making the binding. You can make a lot of binding in a short amount of time.
