In a Bind

When the binding for a quilt is made, I roll it onto an empty paper towel roll. When I'm ready to sew on the binding, I place the roll on a stand-up paper towel holder and unroll what I need as I sew. The binding doesn't twist, and the excess doesn't fall on the floor, where my dog or cat might play with it.
