Thread: Binder attachment thingy...

during a shop hop on Friday I saw an industrial machine with a foot attachment that automatically took 2 1/4 strip binding, pulled it thru a funnel like attachment, folded it perfectly, threaded it under the foot to be sewn front AND back at the same time... This lady literally binded a king size quilt in less than 5 min... I WANT THAT !!!!! anyone have any idea if there is such a thing for NON-commercial machine?? -preferably a PFAFF ..

I have 2 different sizes for my Husqvarna Viking. I have never used them. I make my binding 2 1/2" and rarely use bias. The larger bias tape maker has slots for different sizes binding.

Martelli makes one, it's called the Kwik Bind System and it's just shy of $150. I know it is for 1/2" as opposed to 1/4" binding but you see both sides at the same time. It also comes with a DVD as well as written instructions. I don't have one but have seen it demoed and know people who use it on their machines and love it. As far as I know, it can be used with pretty much any machine.

I have seen one of these and they can work on any machine, I haven't figured out how it wold go around the corners of the quilt.

I have the Martelli, never used it. Still in the box. It is one of the items I am going to post on e-bay.
