Update: 8th Oct, GIVEAWAY CLOSED!
Comments will no longer be counted
My 'Perfect Binding Everytime' Workshop is always a popular choice for quilters - and I know why; binding is an essential finish yet it's also one of those techniques that some quilters still have difficulty with. I love showing quilters the techniques and methods I personally use to achieve perfect binding every time and now I'm happy to share a new tool with you that makes binding even easier than ever before.
Westalee Design sent me their new Bound To Fit ruler to try for myself. I consider myself a traditionalist, but I'm always looking for new ways to improve my techniques. I'm actually downsizing at the moment, so I'm really fussy about what I add to my tool kit, but as soon as I tried this tool I knew I'd have to share it with all of you. I've added a video from Westalee demonstarting how to use the Bound To Fit Ruler at the bottom of this post.
I think it's an excellent tool for every quilter and highly recommend it.
I am giving away 5x Bound To Fit rulers!
Simply leave a single comment on this post to enter.
Anyone can enter. I will send the ruler anywhere in the world.
I will select winners using the Random Number Generator.
Winners will be announced next Wednesday.
Goodluck!
Yes, of course I would love to make better bindings. Thank you for the chance to win.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteBindings can be difficult and now there is a tool to help. That is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteExcellent video. I make my binding in this manner, but sew it to the back and bring it to the front aligning it 1/8"past the seam allowance and sewing it down on near the edge. This puts the last line of sewing right next to the binding and is hardly seen. I would love to win a ruler to save having the strips to sew the diagonals. Thanks for the chance, Esther!
ReplyDeleteI love tools, and would love to have the binding tool. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Esther! Those bindings look so beautiful! I would love to learn how to bind my quilts like that.
ReplyDeleteJust watched the video- this tool looks much easier to use than the one I bought 12 months ago (I still can't work out how to cut and join the two ends together), plus it makes joining the binding strips easier too!
ReplyDeleteBindings are the finishing touch to a beautiful quilt but sometimes they can prove difficult. This tool sounds like it would be helpful to bind more successfully.

I was just thinking last night I needed to buy one! :)
ReplyDeleteEsther you are so kind. A perfect binding is like a frame on a picture.
ReplyDeleteLinda in NS
Thanks so much for the chance to win this great tool Esther. I always find finishing that last seam so very tricky.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Esther. That looks like a great tool. The one area I still have problems with is getting the correct amount of fabric binding left at that last seam. I've had either a bowed quilt or one with way too much binding at the last seam in the binding. This would appear that it will definitely help in this area.
ReplyDeleteAnd the ruler she's using in the video looks awesome! I LOVE the black area that appears to be moveable. I've never seen one like that.
I just watched the video. I would love to win this tool!
ReplyDeleteThanks Esther! I would love to win the new binding tool!
ReplyDeleteI always love hearing about a new technique or tool. Thanks Esther for the opportunity to win this binding tool.

I love choosing fabric, choosing pattern, cutting, sewing, and hand quilting. But when it comes to adding the binding to a quilt -- I just practically dread it for fear of not getting it right. I'd love to win this tool. Thank you for offering.
ReplyDeleteA perfect binding is a must, ........i hope and hope.....
ReplyDeleteThans for the chance to have one!
Any tool to make binding faster and easier would be wonderful
ReplyDeleteWow, this looks like a great tool, I have a few of the Westalee products and they are all great. I'm sure this one would be great in my toolbox too! Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic tool!! I have managed the mitered corners, but never ever go the finla bit right, ending up with just joining these bits straight on. Now I simply gotta have that tool, please please with sugar on top!! This little Swedish gal would be ecstatic :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilting help. Westalee has some great products. A bound to fit ruler would be a great to add to my useful tools kit.
ReplyDeleteCheers
