Fast Machine Quilt Binding 101
31 comments:
I'm a project runway junkie, too. Sometimes, I get the show and reality mixed up and I imagine a show for quilters designing quilts. I would watch it, but I doubt anyone else would ;)ReplyDelete
I am so mad at my tivo, it failed me on recording PR! But gosh do I need the binding tutorial!ReplyDelete
I agree...I love binding quilts while traveling! And I too am a Project Runway die hard fan. I have the first 4 seasons on DVD and I watch them while I travel and while I do my handwork in the car.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the link to the tutorial.ReplyDelete
I like having the option available for machine binding also. You never know when you might need it :). I haven't tried it with a full size quilt yet - been experimenting with pillows and small projects.ReplyDelete
I have a question about this...ReplyDelete
So when you bind it with a machine, you sew it twice and see the front stitching on the back? I'm just confused!
@Bailey Family,ReplyDelete
Yes! You are correct. When machine sewing a binding you sew it twice. One time to sew the binding itself to the quilt (this will be hidden), and then second, sew it down after you flip and pin to the front. This is when you want thread that matches or coordinates (or invisible) because it will show on the back side as well.
I hope that clarifies some. Thanks for your questions - feel free to ask any more!
Your stack of quilts look yummy!ReplyDelete
hand stitching the binding is my favourite to.ReplyDelete
Too funny, I was a PR newbie this year too, and I loved it. And it is a shame you didn't go to Mood. It looks like so much fun in there! Thanks for sharing your link, you had me at "fast." Binding is my least fave part of quilting!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the excellent binding tutorial. As a new quilter I'm still gettting the hang of binding - and making my corners look like corners. This helped a lot.ReplyDelete
Thanks for this tutorial. The instructions are very well written. I think I will give this a try. Thank you for taking the time to do this.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the nice comment in my blog about the flowering snowball:) And I'm with the rest of 'em - love the halloween quilt, especially the 2nd one!ReplyDelete
Yeah that you so much, I have been avoiding making my first quilted table runner from fear of hang stitching the binding! The perfect post for me :)ReplyDelete
Thank you! is the first post that really is worth about bias sewing ("viés" in my language).ReplyDelete
This is super helpful! Thank you for putting this together for us "newbies" :] -Alyhs of Living an UnlifeReplyDelete
Your tutorials are amazingly clear and simple to follow. I made my first quilt using them and was even impressed with my efforts! xxxReplyDelete
First quilt now finished! Thanks so much for your tutorial!ReplyDelete
There's a fabric DISTRICT? Wow, I need to make a trip to the US and in particular NY at some time soon!ReplyDelete
Thank you for this tutorial! I have finished five quilts and have struggled on the binding. Not tonight! I finished my sixth quilt with little effort on the binding!ReplyDelete
This is a great tutorial! I just finished my 1st baby quilt and it was such a positive experience that I can't wait to make another one!ReplyDelete
My 16-year-old daughter just finished her first t-shirt quilt for her 4-H project. She is easily discouraged and the instructions kept her in line. She can't wait to start cutting up her next stack of old t-shirts.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for this tutorial. I've almost finished my second quilt from it!ReplyDelete
Amy, I have a quick question regarding the joining of your binding in this tutorial (which is excellent, by the way). How are you sewing the ends together exactly? I keep re-reading the passage, but I am just not computing it (guess I am a visual learner). Where exactly are you sewing the ends together at? Really appreciate all of these great quilting tutorials!ReplyDeleteReplies
After you've trimmed the strips and pressed where they butt against each other with the 1/4" seam allowance remaining on either end, lift up the binding strips and pin the ends of the fabric together. Then sew your seam right on that pressed crease. Press the seam open and finish pinning the binding to the quilt. I hope that helps. Have you got to that point on an actual project? It's hard to visualize theoretically, but when you've got it hands on, it might make a little more sense? Let me know!Delete
great tutorial. i made my first quilt recently and used this as reference. i was very intimidated by the binding, but this made it so easy, and it looks really nice. i linked to your tutorial in my blog post: http://kcm702.wordpress.com/2012/11/25/quilt/ReplyDelete
Awesome tutorial! I made my first quilt using it as my teacher! I hadn't really sewn since jr. high home-ec class!! I linked to your tutorial on my blog: http://holyknollies.blogspot.com/2013/01/best-present-ever.htmlReplyDelete
Thanks for putting this together!Replies
That is so great! I love seeing all of these first quilts! I must post a disclaimer preparing you all for the highly addictive qualities of quilting. I don't want anyone coming back and saying they weren't warned! :)Delete
Press the seam open and finish pinning the binding to the quilt. I hope that helps. Have you got to that point on an actual projectReplyDelete

My binding is turning out wonky. It looks like it isn't wide enough, but I double checked the width of the binding and my seam allowance. I wish that I could post a picture, so you could see! Any advice?ReplyDelete
Thank you for this awesome tutorial! This is the first quilt I have ever made. My husband gave me a Brother Project Runway Edition sewing machine last Xmas and this was the perfect project to break it in with. It was so much fun! Thanks again!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.

*The Pram & Buggy Blackout Blind for babies on the move*
Order in the next 12 hours 22 minutes and select next working day for delivery to mainland UK on Tuesday
SnoozeShade® the blackout blind for baby prams, buggies and pushchairs is a secure alternative to draping coats and blankets over prams and pushchairs to help babies get the sleep they need when out and about, including sun protection (UPF50+) and a 'sneak-a-peak' front zip so you can quietly check on baby.
SnoozeShade® creates a shady, well-ventilated environment for babies to sleep comfortably and cuts out visual stimuli to encourage alert babies to nod off. This unique universal fit buggy blackout blind fits most 3- and 4-wheel prams, pushchairs, and buggies and rear-facing car seats with hoods.
It was created by a British mother specifically to help babies get the sleep they need when in their prams or pushchairs. It's what mums have been waiting for - a secure alternative to draping coats and blankets over a stroller.
SnoozeShade® is designed to be used all year round. Its patent-pending design shuts out the outside world and keeps a sleeping baby asleep in its pram or pushchair and helps an alert baby switch off enough to snooze. You can check on baby quietly from the front using the 'sneak-a-peek' zip. It's great for holidays, in restaurants or anytime you have to go out during baby's naptime.
SnoozeShade attaches quickly and easily using Velcro straps to the buggy's frame. It fits twin and triple buggies with single seat hoods, simply use one per baby and then you needn't disturb one if the other wakes up. It can also be used with rear-facing child car seats as long as they have a hood - excellent for blocking out the flashing road lights if you travel at night.
This is a must have baby product! I bought it originally because my baby would only sleep in darkness and it did the trick. Now, in the hot weather if doubles to protect her from the sun too. The attaching straps are genius - I've managed to fit my SnoozeShade as a car window blind too! Baby can see out one side but is protected from direct sun and heat under her SnoozeShade. Think I'll upgrade to one of the newer designs now my little one likes to look at so much! Thanks!
Bought this as I was finding it difficult to protect my little one from the beaming sun when taking him out in his carry cot or car seat, having to put Muslins over the front of him making him hot and cranky. The snooze shade protects him from the sun whilst also keeping him cool and allowing him to doze off without the sunlight waking him. Fits nicely to the carry cot, stroller and car seat no matter what make - velcro's on. Totally recommend it to others!
We bought this for a holiday and it was fab, it protected our 16month old from the sun while she napped during the day and she slept each night in the buggy while we went out for dinner and drinks, and have used it loads back at home when out after her bedtime - definitely a 'must have' purchase! An inexpensive life changing product!
Tricky to fit onto a Maclaren but got there in the end, after much tugging and adjusting to get it to completely cover the buggy. It is not actually a blackout blind, the material is perforated so you can see through it. I'm not convinced this is any better than a dark blanket and clothes pegs. It was fiddly to fit on, and doesn't actually provide full blackout. I guess it is light so that might be handy if you're going on a long journey. Overall, it is ok but nothing special. I'm a bit disappointed.
Easy to use and my 11 month old goes to sleep within 2 mins as soon as I put it on. Great on our holiday and now I use it most days

text: 2 Just so disappointing...Rogue25 | 01/09/2012 | See all Rogue25's reviews (12)After the 2008 game, I was really looking forward to this. But it is so disappointing and the main reason for this is because - for some reason - they have taken away circuit mode!!! I have no idea why. You are therefore only left having to play endless single circuits. So it takes you a minute or two to set up the 100m and then its all over in 10 seconds and you have to set up another event. The choice of events is better but some of the controls are bizarre. Just such a let down. It could have been so good but isn't.

Bad News
What up fam? As you may or may not heard, my record "I AM THE WEST" will not be released on July 13th. I've been working my ass off trying to get it done for you but I ran out of time. The music is right but the paperwork isn't and since I'm working with a few new producers the contracts are taking a little longer then usual, so I missed my turn-in date. But it's cool. We're trying to project a date when the business will be done and we can get this bomb-ass music out to you. In the meantime, I will release a song a month until the record drops. Hopefully that will wet your whistle until street date. I apologize to everybody who had that new Cube record "taste in ya mouth". It'll be worth the wait.

Beware of These Secretly Salty Foods
We all know we need to cut back on eating sodium, but you may not even realize it's in these common foods.
By Marnie Soman
Tomato Sauce
When shopping for canned pantry staples, always look for low-sodium or no-salt-added versions, says Larson. For example, a half cup of canned tomato sauce has an astonishing 642 mg of sodium (more than four times the recommended amount per serving), while the no-salt-added version only has 13 mg.

9 Surprising Habits That Slow Down Your Metabolism
Watch out for these sneaky weight-loss saboteurs.
By Jane Bianchi
2. Sitting still
Bad news for the corporate set. "Even if you go to the gym for a half hour every day, if you sit at a desk for eight hours, you still have a sedentary lifestyle," says Blake. To avoid losing metabolism-boosting muscle mass, which happens when you don't move major muscle groups throughout the day, think about downloading a movement tracking app or buying a gadget like a Fitbit or Jawbone, which alerts you when you've been sitting still for most of the day. Sometimes, that's enough to encourage you to spend half of your lunch hour on a walk, not in the break room.

This individual was very well known in our community and he inspired love and happiness to all those who got to know him. His memory and life deserve to be remembered in the best way Oceanside and our community can offer. "Prince Park" - dedicated in the remembrance of one of Oceanside's most beloved skateboarders and people. This is what Oceanside, the skateboarding community, and Mike deserve. Thank You.

Northwest Furniture Bank Turns Houses Into Homeson June 12, 2013 @ 3:51 pm (Updated: 7:43 am - 6/13/13 )
"I started it at 9:00 a.m. I took my son to school and then me and my boyfriend were taking a rug to my parent's house," Leasa recounts. "We were gone for 28 minutes and when I came back my house was completely filled with smoke. Smoke alarms were going off."
She couldn't do anything but watch her house burn.
"It burned the kitchen, the dining room, the living room - which was half the house. The rest of the house was so heavily smoke damaged that the belongings that we didn't lose to fire, we lost to smoke damage."
Investigators are still trying to figure out why her 2-year-old dishwasher caused a house fire. But in the meantime, Leasa and her three kids are trying to piece their life back together. Luckily, Tacoma's Northwest Furniture Bank was able to help.
"The Northwest Furniture Bank exists to get furniture to people who are coming out of transitional housing, mostly. But also fire victims, flood victims. Anybody who has been in a situation where they have lost everything, had a bad life event," says co-founder and executive director Bill Lemke.
He says furniture is a luxury most of us take for granted.
"There are a lot of people living without furniture. I never thought that the need was as great as it is. But last month, in May, we served 125 families. That's 125 sofas. In a year, we're on projections right now to hit about 1,200 families. That's mostly south King County and Pierce County. We haven't even touched the rest of the state."
Northwest Furniture Bank will fill an entire home.
"We promise beds for everybody in the household, every kid. We spend $60-70,000 every year buying beds. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. We charge them $50 so that they have a sense of dignity and skin in the game, if you will. They value it a lot more."
I walked through the big Tacoma warehouse with Leasa, as she picked out a dresser, dining room table and chairs, a nightstand, bookshelf and things for the kitchen.
"We only had structural insurance. All of our belongings are gone," said Leasa. "So anything we don't have to purchase is great. I'm on disability, I have MS, and I have flare ups that take this side of my body away sometimes. So, being a single mom of three on that, it's hard."
Bill was working as a wholesale furniture rep when he came up with the idea for the nonprofit in 2005.
"My son kept reminding me, 'You should do this. This is a good thing. Better than doing what you're doing. More meaningful.' I had no intention of doing it. But tragically, that November, he passed away from lymphoma. So my 17-year-old son, who was chattering in my ear all summer, to do something significant, impacted me. For my wife and I it's like, now what are we going to do? Our world just changed dramatically. The furniture bank was one of those things that stuck in my mind, wakes you up at 3:30 in morning. And today we're serving over 100 families a month."
And his son was right, this job is far more fulfilling.
"The biggest statement we get is, 'You helped us turn our house into a home.' I've had people tell us that the kids wouldn't have other little kids in the neighborhood over to the house because their dresser was a cardboard box or a Hefty bag. Their bed was a bunch of blankets on the floor. One mother told me she didn't tell her kids to go to bed because they didn't have a bed. She had to tell them to go to sleep. And she says, 'Now I can tell them to go to bed.'"
The Furniture Bank runs on donations from furniture and mattress companies and from the community. Click here for information on donating furniture, mattresses and housewares that are clean and in excellent condition.
In July, the bank will take mattresses in any condition. They'll recycle the mattresses that are in bad shape and use that money to buy new ones.

Black Hills Ammunition
Since the advent of LEOSA, which permits active duty and qualified retired law enforcement officers to carry firearms concealed throughout the United States, I've been taking my gun with me when I travel. Flying with firearms has never been simple, and I still have to be careful to meet all the TSA and airline requirements before I leave for the airport. That has included several evolutions of gun and ammunition case combinations until I came upon the Gunvault Nanovault Firearm Safe.
Unless you're a Fed or traveling on official business with a letter from your agency stating as much, your hardware has to be checked through as baggage. You can buy a special case for this and check it separately, but, (1.) you'll pay additional fees for checking an extra bag and (2.) most of those cases fairly cry out, "Steal Me." If you're taking a long gun, you don't have much choice in the matter. For sidearms, I prefer to pack a secured gun case inside my regular suitcase.
I've collected several cases made for this purpose, and have never been satisfied with most of them. They can take up a quarter of the total space inside the suitcase. Most are made of plastic that won't stand up to a good pocketknife, and they take two padlocks to secure. The Nanovault is smaller than most of the plastic gun cases, and no one is going to get into it with a pocketknife. At $28.99, it's a bargain.
As the name suggests, the Nanovault is designed for secure home or vehicle storage of a firearm. It's a box formed of 21 gauge steel, filled with memory foam, and secured with a 3-digit combination lock or a key, depending on the model (the keyed version is $8 cheaper). There are two pre-drilled holes in the bottom for permanent mounting on a wall or shelf, and a notch in the side to permit a supplied steel cable to exit the box. The cable can be looped around a stationary object for security when you can't use the screw mounts. The combination lock can be set to the code of your choice. It feels solid. Mine weighs about 2.5 lbs. empty.
I secure the Nanovault inside my rolling suitcase by looping the steel cable around the telescoping handle assembly inside the suitcase lid. The handle assembly is plastic, but a thief would have to go to some effort and make some noise in order to separate the Nanovault from the suitcase without the key or combination.
Checked firearms have to be unloaded. The TSA permits ammunition to be checked through, but it can't be stored in a pistol magazine as the primers have to be covered (the top round in the magazine has an exposed primer). I unload the magazine (don't forget the one in the chamber), put it back into the gun, and put the ammo in a Case-Gard ammo wallet. Case-Gard doesn't make an ammo wallet for .40 S&W, but the one for .45 ACP keeps them separate and secure, even if they rattle a bit. The ammo wallet goes inside the Nanovault. If you want to carry more than one magazine, and the ammo that goes with it, a better choice might be one of the ammo boxes from Case-Gard. Ammunition can be in the suitcase separate from the gun, and doesn't have to be in a locked container. Original packaging for most ammunition (if each round is held securely in a tray) will pass TSA requirements, but the Case-Gard boxes are considerably more durable.
My choice of suitcase is also one arrived at after much trial, error, and destroyed suitcases. I estimate I have invested well over $1,500 in luggage that was wrecked by one airline or another. On the recommendation of a friend, I purchased an aluminum "Zeroller" from Zero Halliburton. My friend was given his by his parents before he left on a Peace Corps mission in 1968, and was still using it. The deal was closed when I saw a news photo of a big time crash at an airport. Lying near the wreckage was a Zero Halliburton bag, still intact. I've now had mine for six years and it looks as though it's been through a war, but it's still going strong. The best prices I've found for them are from a camera store called Cambridge World. Their customer service has been excellent.
At the airport, the unloaded gun and ammo wallet are inside the Nanovault, which is inside my unlocked suitcase. I tell the airline agent I want to declare an unloaded firearm. The agent produces a Day-Glo red tag with that wording in big letters, signs and dates it, and gives it to me to sign. I open the suitcase, open the Nanovault, and ask the agent if they want me to show them the gun is unloaded (they usually take my word for it). I put the tag inside the Nanovault, close and lock it, then close and lock the suitcase. I then hang around until I see the TSA agent place the suitcase on the conveyor after it's been run through their x-ray scanner.
This is how it usually works — your mileage may vary. In any event, I think you'll feel more secure with your gun in a Nanovault than inside a plastic box.

All former customers of Stamps.com from June 9, 2002 through November 19 2008, who cancelled their account and were billed for, and paid, their final months' service fee for the Stamps.com PC Postage monthly service.
According to Stamps.com's records, you are a member of the class. The purpose of this Notice is to inform you about the proposed Settlement and to discuss your rights and options and deadlines with respect to the lawsuit and the Settlement.
Plaintiffs contend that Stamps.com subjected the Class Members to unreasonable hold times when they attempted to cancel over the phone and thereby impeded their ability to close their accounts in a timely manner and that Stamps.com should have pro-rated the Class Members' last month bills to the date they closed their accounts. Stamps.com denies these allegations. The complaint alleges cause of action for Unfair Competition, Breach of Contract, Fraud and Violations of the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act.
This Settlement is the result of extensive settlement discussions. Both sides agree that, in light of the risks and expenses associated with further litigation, this Settlement is fair and appropriate under the circumstances. Please be advised that the Los Angeles County Superior Court has not ruled on the merits of Plaintiffs' claims or Stamps.com's defenses.
The attorneys for the class ("Class Counsel") in this lawsuit are:
1211 Puerta Del Sol, Suite 150
San Clemente, CA 92673
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
3700 S. Susan Street, Suite 120
Santa Ana, CA 92704
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
On January 5, 2009, the Court granted preliminary approval to the proposed Settlement. The Court will decide whether to give final approval to the Settlement at a hearing scheduled for April 7, 2009 at 8:30 A.M.
Subject to Court approval, the terms of the Settlement are as follows:
1. STAMPS. COM will provide all class members with an opportunity to receive two free months of service, a value of approximately $35.98, with no obligation after the two month period. Stamps.com will revise its policies to pro-rate final bills to the last date of service or permit its customers to continue to use its service until the last day of the month. Stamps.com will revise its procedures so that average hold time for customers attempting to cancel will not exceed 5-7 minutes (excepting the days immediately following the release of a new Stamps.com version upgrade, change in postage rates, or significant policy change or technical difficulty).
2. Class Counsel have not been paid for their time and expenses prosecuting the case and will ask the Court to award attorney's fees and costs equal to $450,000. In addition, Class Counsel will ask the Court to authorize an enhanced award for class Representative Coburn in the amount of $5,000 for his time and effort in bringing the case on behalf of the class.
3. Each member of the Class is deemed to release and discharge Stamps.com, and each of its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, representatives, predecessors, successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries, and attorneys, from each of the claims covered by the settlement.
4. Following final approval of the settlement the lawsuit will be dismissed with prejudice.
You will be automatically entitled to the benefits of the settlement if the Court approves the settlement. After the Court approves the settlement, you will be sent an email communication containing instructions for how to receive the two months free service. You will have one year from the date the email is sent to you to take advantage of the two months free service. Once you respond to the email, follow the instructions to open your account you can start your 2 months free service. Please note that, other than the free service, you remain responsible for all actual U.S. Postage costs and other charges incurred by you through your account. At the completion of the two month free period, your account will be automatically closed and all unused postage purchased by you will be returned to you pursuant to United States Postal Service regulations. You will not be charged anything more. If you wish to continue with a Stamps.com account, at the conclusion of the two month free period you will be provided an opportunity to continue your account with Stamps.com, although you will be under no obligation to do so.

This is why I hate when people file a Class Action against the company....two months of free service! They always seem to benefit from it...you get their service for free, but still have to buy the postage through them to use it! They're still going to make money on the people!

BokiBean on 01/29/2009:
Let me get this straight. These are customers who were cancelling or wanted to cancel and as settlement they get two free months of a service they were opting out of. What a victory. =/
Good post tho.
Anonymous on 01/30/2009:
This is so typical of a class action. The winners get $35 bucks worth of a service they didn't want, and the lawyer gets $450,000
Starlord on 01/31/2009:
That reminds me of something Gallagher once said, Why is it when you complain about the food at a restaurant, they give you more of what you didn't like in the first place? The customers who wanted out of the deal get about $36.00 worth of free service they don't want, and the lawyers pocket four hundred and fifty grand. Congratulations on the plea deal, you sure showed them.

Stamps.com Are Lying Thieves
Posted by
SPOKANE, WASHINGTON -- After signing up for Stamps.com's "service" I was immediately billed $17.95 even though it was supposed to be a 4week FREE trial. Realizing this company did not keep their word I chose to cancel my account with them the same day. Actually I should say I ATTEMPTED to cancel my account--there is a link on their website to cancel--but it won't let you..."not able to process your request at this time" pops up and you are directed to call the customer service number. I sat on hold a total of 4 hours over as many days and no one ever answered (keep in mind this was during regular business hours).
Not being allowed to cancel my account, I have been billed once a month since December for services NEVER RENDERED! This website is a scam like non-other, claiming to be reputable--when in reality they are lying thieves. How they can still be in business and not have to face criminal charges is beyond me.
I have spent hours on the phone and had file a dispute form every month for 4 months now--trying to get a chargeback to my debit card since Stamps.com continues to make unauthorized charges to my account.
What a sad and pathetic example this company is setting. In this country it is illegal and wrong to use a weapon and steal someone's money--apparently it is perfectly acceptable to steal if your weapon of choice is the internet.
Do your homework before giving your credit/debit card info out on line. There are countless companies just like Stamps.com who are depending on the fact that you won't. Sign up for an account with Stamps.com if you like being taken advantage of by lying, cheating snakes.

We use stamps.com in our business and have for @ 1yr. Signed up on a trial offer, received the postal scale as promised. Simple to purchase postage and had no problems with excessive or unauthorized purchases. Kind of pricey for the forms, but saves time and money with fewer trips to post office.
repomunkee on 03/09/2009:
Good for you--glad you are getting what you paid for, pricey or not..but the praises you are singing do not negate the fact that MANY MANY others have been taken advantage of by Stamps.com. Do date they have stolen over $70 from me. Sorry, not interested in hearing how great Stamps.com is. I highly doubt if you were mugged and someone stole your wallet you would write them a public thank you and have it posted in the newspaper. Stamps.com has earned every word I have posted about them-I have four unauthorized charges on my debit card to prove it.
Soaring Consumer on 03/09/2009:
You will need to close your bank account and open a new one to prevent them from stealing more of your money.
Sue Stamps.com for fraud, I think that another class-action suit needs to be started against them again.
jktshff1 on 03/09/2009:
Whoa munkee.....I am giving you and others the experience that I have had with them. I read all the fine print, abided by their terms and conditions, and have had no problems. Don't get me wrong, stuff happens, but don't knock my post 'cause you disagree.
Soaring...the only other suits I have found was with the security and exchange commission (for issuing Registration Statements and Prospectuses that contained materially false and misleading information and failed to disclose material information) and one with e-bay (e-bay paid stamps)and a couple more for patent infringement.
madconsumer on 03/09/2009:
I too use stamps.com for our postal printing at work. isn't the fee for the stamps? I know we pre pay monthly.
jktshff1 on 03/09/2009:
We have no monthly fee. We purchase postage @$50.00 at a time.
Disaster Worker on 03/10/2009:
I've been using Stamps.com for about 2 years, with my former employer and again in my own business now. I think it's great and convenient, and the only problem I had was trying to get the monthly fee stopped on my former corporate AMX card after I was laid off. I will say the OP is correct that it's difficult to find a way to communicate with Stamps, but a certified letter stopped the wrong billing.
jktshff1 on 03/10/2009:
good input disaster.
repomunkee on 03/16/2009:
Bottom line is this...when you sign up for a "service" offering a FREE trial, where you WILL NOT BE CHARGED for the first 4 weeks but your bank account is debited 5 minutes into your 4 week "FREE trial"...something is wrong. When you try and cancel your account which is fully within your right as a consumer so you will not have any further charges but are not allowed to do so (Stamps.com has a link on their website where you can cancel your account but when you click it won't let you cancel, saying to call the customer svc line WHERE NO LIVE PERSON EVER ANSWERS)...something is VERY wrong. When a company is not providing a service yet continues to STEAL a consumer's money something is VERY wrong and VERY illegal.
To all those satisfied loyal Stamps.com customers--wake up and smell the web-SCAM. I'm not saying there aren't a few customers who are not being ripped off by Stamps.com. They have to provide legit services to some--hello, it's called CYA (cover your @$$) this allows the scandal to continue under the guise that things are on the up and up. Ignorance is bliss. Still going to be singing their praises when you find out this reputable company closed its cyber-doors and skated with your bank account information?
I was mugged!! on 02/17/2012:
Stamps.com is operating a a very misleading SCAM! Very shady business practice! They wouldn't have so many complaints against them if they we're operating with an ounce of honesty and not selling their snake oil trap! Keep your greedy, sticky evil hands off my money! Filed a fraud investigation against them. I wouldn't be surprised if the ones posting on here how much they claim to "love" TRAMPS.com are actually employees or owners trying to keep this scam going.
Ripped off by stamps.com too! on 04/24/2014:
The stamps.con site comes up looking like the actual USPS site on a google search- and proceeds to sign you up with a very well hidden small print regarding the monthly service charge.
Same VERY WELL HIDDEN information is in the confirming email...
So you'd have to be watching your bank account and balancing to figure out their scam ongoing service fees.
Add to that the interminable "phone tree" which provides no help in ending your account...
Yes, this is all deliberate. There is a name for such deliberate "easy in, no way out" fee service.

Billing for services not provided or accessible
Posted by
hawks soar
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- According to the web site, Stamp.com, I'm not a customer because my account does not exist, yet by phone I've been a customer since March 07. I received one email from this company, which was a welcome email which I responded to propmtly with a cancellation, which they have on file, because for days I had been unabe to access the site and services promised. so for 10 months I've been billed $159.90 for service I have had no access to, no emails from or notice from. Even tonight I was supposed to get an email from gerald, id#7166716, but no email has arrived. they never sent me a welcome package with my free scale or postage for opening an account. yea, it was charged on my credit account but I've been a bit busy recovering from a major car accident in June 07, the third car accident in less than a year, so my hectic life as a single mom of two has only become chaos with numerous doctors' visits and therapy appointments. this company is no better than the three people who caused my three car accidents, they just keep costing me money I don't have and just leave me with a headache.
they couldn't provide me with the promised services but they certainly can steal from my account, $159.90, two weeks of groceries for me. Supervisor Gerald who has the authority to refund all my money for services not provided or accessible to me, but he chooses to refund $47.00, this company is just another scheme. I hope the $159.90 Stamps.com basically stole from me, a single mom of two, receiving no child support and working part-time seven days just to get by, was worth it.

Internet stamps and postage
Posted by
I was very happy with the service I got from stamps.com.
It is very handy to be able to buy stamps without running to the post office, but what I do not understand is why do they have to charge a fee to keep your account open if you are not using it every day. I print out stamps one page at a time and they will last me about 6 month then I will print some more, but in the meantime I pay a fee to keep the account open.
This seems to me that I am throwing good money away for the convenience of saving a trip to the post office, very 21st century and a wast of money.

CUFlipSide on 03/18/2010:
This is even more so true if you consider that they have the use of all those unspent funds, which I am sure is substantial. The reason they charge a monthly fee is that they can attach an imaginary cost of keeping the account open, which in fact is probably too low to actually calculate when offset by investment income on the unspent funds.
A parallel is the voice mail service with Version land line accounts. Last time I looked, they charged $4.95/month for the service. The actual monthly cost to them is less than a dime.
MDSasquatch on 03/18/2010:
I would imagine, that selling stamps online has a very small profit margin, but I could be wrong. You are paying for the convenience.
Off topic - text messages cost cell phone providers $0.00, the small bits of information are transmitted "between" other data a voice calls; basically using space that someone else paid for. How you like them apples
Anonymous on 03/18/2010:
Convenience comes at a cost. If they charge you what the USPS charges them to be able to print stamps, how would they make money? These days I don't use many stamps at all but when I need a couple, I go to the post office.
Anonymous on 03/18/2010:
Stamps.com is not a good deal if you are only using it here and there. If you use it all the time, like with a business, you actually save money. I suggest just going to USPS.com and printing them there for only the cost of the postage.
Or, if you have a Paypal account, use the shipping center.

Stamps.com dupes with exorbitant service fee; no information on signup
Posted by
The registration process is misleading; they do not tell you about the $15.99 monthly service charge at the end of trial. No email confirmation on the charge either - you'll realize it only when you see the charge on your credit card. The email does mention the ostensible free $5 worth postage to get you started though. The email would probably be weeded out by spam filters of most email programs, so you won't always see it and there's no way you know you have registered! There's no way the customer service personnel would reverse the charge even when you mention you never intended to purchase anything from them. They'll try to lure you with courtesy postage credits that you don't have a need for or monthly fee waivers that will keep you in the system, and if you are not careful enough to call and cancel the account, potentially be duped again. And worse, they need you to print postage on their rolls and sheets, which they purportedly mailed to you!! And somehow, they imagine that you can print postage directly on your envelopes/packages even when you don't have any to mail. I think they are trying to give Ponzi a run for his money!
To add to your woes, the website is perpetually down with "limited functionality", which only allows you to change your password! so in effect, you'll be billed a steep $15.99 per month for a service that you were never able to access!
In a nutshell, it is not a product worth anything for individuals. USPS' online service is far more efficient, and all they ask for is a shipping/handling of $1.

Did you think you weren't going to be charged anything at the end of the trial? That's why they ask for your credit card info.
Anonymous on 10/13/2009:
It does, in fact, tell you that.
Off to the right, when you're at the payment screen.
"Why do you need my credit card information?"
Your credit card is required by the USPS to set up your USPS postage account. Your credit card will not be charged unless you buy additional postage or Stamps.com products, or if you continue past the NO-RISK 4-week trial period ( only $15.99 per month ).

Excerpt from the stamps.com web site--
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
$15.99/month - no hidden costs, cancel anytime.
Anonymous on 10/13/2009:
Yes it does. It's all in the terms and conditions. Just because you didn't bother to read it, don't say that they mislead you. Next time read what you're signing up for.
jktshff1 on 10/13/2009:
Don't know about the program you set up on, but I have used them for several years. No monthly fees, just have to recharge the postage every so often, depending upon how business is. I would recommend them to anyone.
And noooooooo I get nothing from them to say that.

Questionable Business Practices
Posted by
12959 CORAL TREE PLACE -- My complaint is simple:
1. Very difficult to cancel.
Must be done by phone... I never found a way to do so other wise. If there is, it is hidden or hard to find...
2. They charged my credit card a fee I was not verbally made aware of when I cancelled. I might
have legally been held to it... but they didn't
tell me it was going to be charged. Probably because I was already angry. They should have still let me know.
The email statement I received read as follows:
Summary Of Charges -- FINAL Statement
Description Amount
---------------------------------------- Previous Balance 17.95
Service Charges 17.95
3. I've been in business for 10 years. I'm so glad
I don't have to treat my clients like this. I should be easy to disengage. You should make someone aware when they going to be charge without them having to read a 37 page document outlining the fees.
4. My recommendation don't use their services unless you enjoy having to call to cancel or want not to have everything verbally disclosed to you.
Extremely unhappy, previous customer

Who Are Stamps.com And Better Yet How Did They Get My Credit Card Info?
Posted by
First let me tell you I only use stamps for Birthday cards I am mailing and Christmas Card. A book of stamps I buy at the Post office last me all year. So when I say I have no need to order 60 a month stamps I can print on line I mean it. Until I started getting charges for stamps.com on my bank statement I had never heard of this company. I cancelled my card thinking someone had used my number for their account, yesterday I opened a PAST DUE notice in the mail.
Who are these people and how did they get my credit card number and how do I get rid of this problem.
Again, I have no need for stamps online (def. not $60 a month worth), I have never heard of this company and DID NOT order their service. This is a total scam!!
Anyone know how to get this cleared up?

There should be a phone number listed next to the entry on the statement. Call them. You should have called them when you first saw the entry on your statement instead of closing your account.
Their web: http://www.stamps.com/contact-us/
I had once made a purchase on Amazon and in the checkout process I had somehow managed to sign up for a trial subscription to AOL. I didn't realize my error until the first monthly charge showed up on my CC statement. A simple call cancelled the AOL account.

No network ability

Major problem: still no network version. This means that in the office setting, only one person can use stamps.com. If you use another computer, the first person does not know what the second is printing - reports become meaningless because they are not integrated.

Stamps.com Free Trial is NOT Free
Posted by
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- I signed up the stamps.com free 30 day trial. However, I was charged for the free trial even though I canceled their services and erased their software from my computer one day after I signed up!
I complained to the Better Business Burea (BBB). Stamps.com told them they would remove the $15.99 service fee. However, they never removed it, and now refuse to honor what they told the BBB what they were going to do!
Do not do business with Stamps.com. You will be sorry.

Slimjim on 04/24/2008:
Yes, a simple copy of their BBB response and your complaint should accompany a charge reversal form to your credit card. It should be a slam dunk on getting a credit from them.
DebtorBasher on 04/24/2008:
Did you notify them of the cancellation...or did you just delete it from your computer? I've always recommended Stamps.com to people who sell on Ebay, that's what I've used them for...it's so much easier...the only problem I had was if there's an error in printing up the postage...like one time one of the sticker sheets for printing the postage was printed on the backside...which is the shiny smooth side of the page, like the back of a sticker...They were willing to credit that amount of postage back onto my account...but I had to mail them the page that it was printed on in error...but with it being a smooth surface, the ink just rubbed off, so I didn't have anything to send to them...BUT, they were willing if I was able...I just had to make sure to be more careful after that...

Stamps.com unauthorizing charges
Posted by
I signed up for a 4week trial period with Stamps.com using my Visa check card. The program did nothing for me. I made a number of phone calls and emails to cancel my account. I was told it has been taken care of each time. They lied because now I have an unauthorized charge on my new check card. I cancelled my old card and now have a new one. I called Stamps.com regarding the charge and recorded the conversation. The guy I spoke to basically called me a liar about the charge because it does not show up on his computer but assured me my account has been cancelled but I will be charge an additional charge of $24.99. I told him I do not authorize that charge and he will not charge it. We went round and round about it until he gave in and told me it will not be charged. Keep in mind I recorded this conversation. I called the Billing number for Stamps.com and the guy I spoke with basically called me a liar as well because there are no records of me calling or emailing in the past cancelling my account until today 12/5/2006. He told me there is nothing he can do for me. In the meantime I have contacted my bank and they will be doing their own investigation for fraud. I don't know what Stamps.com's problem is. In my opinion they are a fraud company trying to steal money from people. They did not have my authorization to charge my account when I made a number of phone calls and emails cancelling my account. I have to pay for unqualifying, unprofessional, untrustworthy company. In my opinion Stamps.com is a fraud.

Did the guy say what he was going to charge you the $24.99 for? Do you still have copies of your emails you sent them? I would forward them to them just to show them that they were sent...

Kimi Raikkonen will remain on Red Bull's short list until such a time as the Finn has been confirmed by another team, that's according to Christian Horner.
Raikkonen had been a front runner to replace Mark Webber until earlier this week when his manager Steve Robertson revealed that talks had broken down.
"The negotiations with Red Bull were not successful and ended some time ago," he told Turun Sanomat.
However, Horner insists Red Bull have not ruled out signing the 2007 World Champion.
"Has he signed for anyone else? It's up to him," said the Red Bull team boss. "Kimi's manager ruled him out I think. I've only seen what you've seen."
Horner added that his team won't be rushed into making a decision despite earlier rumours suggesting an announcement would be made at this weekend's Belgian GP.
"I think the problem is you get to this point of the year and there's so many rumours, hearsay, this, that and the other. I saw he [Raikkonen] was going to Ferrari a couple of days ago," he said.
"There is no transfer window in Formula 1. We are not obliged to make a decision until we choose to. As I say, we want to make sure that we make the right decision and we will take the time that we feel appropriate to make that decision."
He added: "You have to make sure you consider all the options and there's more options than you could possibly think.
"There's been quite a lot of interest. So we just take the time. It's not going to be much longer I'd have thought. I'd have thought by Monza or shortly after Monza we should be clear."

The Middle East's turbulent modern history -- most recently, the events of the Arab Spring -- has inspired a generation of photographers from the region who are gaining global recognition.
Now, a new exhibition at London's Victoria & Albert Museum, "Light from the Middle East," is celebrating their diverse and challenging work.
On display is everything from photojournalism to fine art photography and the museum says it hopes to showcase the full range of emerging talent -- artists documenting the complexities and contradictions of a region in the grip of change.
This 2006 photograph is taken from a series by Iranian photojournalist Newsha Tavakolian called "Mothers of Martyrs," which features mothers with framed portraits of their sons who died in the Iran-Iraq war.
