You definitely need one to help make your quilt binding process easier. They help store, and spin your binding with ease. Adding a fun companion to your sewing room is always a good idea!
Binding Babies can also hold ribbon in all different sizes. Just add it to your spool, and use a pin or binding clip to store on your Binding Baby.
We wanted to create something with personality that will bring joy into any sewing / quilt studio. Giving them a name helps bring in character to each Binding Baby. You may connect with one over the other. Doesn't mean you can't rename once you adopt one.
We know Binding Babies won't create your binding for you, but they can help keep your binding nicely organized while you finish your quilt top and quilt sandwich.
Binding Babies can help you roll your binding while you iron, and starch your finished pieced binding.
While you attach your binding to your quilt, it will help spin the binding with ease while you sew. No more binding getting ripped, or slipping on the floor anymore.
We are working on some new tutorials. Right now you can view a video here on our youtube channel.
Yes, you can stack two 2 1/2” bindings on there. You can even do binding and flange binding as well. Smaller bias binding for clothes. You can stack up to three.
Your largest width for the binding on medium binding baby is 2.5". I would not go any larger than 2.75". If you need to go larger I would purchase a large Binding Baby.
The best answer is the fatter the dress the cuter she is! With a binding clip or pin your Binding Baby, either size will be able to hold larger than a king size quilt.
You do want to make sure you roll the binding on nice and taut, and stabilize while you are not sewing with a pin or binding clip.
The flower spindle will help hold your Binding Babies, and help spin your Binding Baby to help release the quilt binding with ease as you attach to the quilt.
We offer two spindles. One is shaped like a flower daisy and the other is a heart, inspired by love notes from Bluey.
The flower spindle is perfect to store your Binding Baby on a shelf in between when you are attaching binding to your quilts.
It is not just for storage, its to help spin your Binding Baby when you don't have an extra spindle on your sewing machine. It's the perfect companion to your Binding Baby.
Yes, you can! We have 3 packs available. We know the spindles can get lost. You can purchase it here.
They become the perfect bookends, and storage for all your quilting rulers. I like to place my quilt pattern books in between, so I. have easy access to what I am working on.
You can place your patterns in between where the rulers are stored. It becomes the perfect project based station to keep your patterns and rulers at your finger tips.
Quilting rulers thickness are between 1/8" to 1/4", and vary in length. The slots can hold rulers that are up to 1/4" in thickness.
The bottom of the ruler roundup has five slots and vary in length. You can slide your rulers in the slots, and put more rulers in between each slot as it will glide on the surface.
The top has has two slots that can hold your bigger rulers and cutting mats.
We are working on some tutorials for you. So please check back as we are working hard and furious to help you with your binding needs!

A doohikey is a small object or gadget especially one whose name you do not know or cannot recall. Which became the perfect reason why we make Binding Babies and other quilting notions.
Doohikey Designs was born when I couldn't think of what to call my designer name for fabric designing. My brother-in-law Brian, quickly came up with doohickey designs. Because everyone needs a doohickey. I searched on the business name and had to change the spelling to Doohikey Designs for my business to become legit! That became my surface design pet name, and now is the brand name of our business.
Doohikey Designs is a brand that helps create those thing-a-ma-bobs you didn't know you needed!
Dan and Shari have been creating Binding Babies, Flower Spindles, and Ruler Roundups since August 2016. We hand paint them in our Layton, Utah Studio. Doohikey Designs is manufactured, and distributed right here in the USA. We are proud to say we are Made in the USA.
