Do you put your binding on....

I use my regular foot. I sew the binding to the back, then turn to the front and sew by machine. I tried the walking foot one time and found no difference and didn't like the bulk of the walking foot.

I do not - don't even own a walking foot! My machine has no issues with going through that many layers. I also wait to trim my quilts AFTER the binding is machine sewn to the front so I have a little more fabric to hang on to while doing that step.

I never have. The few times I have attempted to use my walking foot I had problems and did not like the way it sewed. Straight line quilting had more puckers and I had to do a lot of ripping. I prefer my plain old quarter inch foot.

I have always used my walking foot to apply the binding. I feel the even feed/walking foot helps put the binding on right and also helps my machine feed dogs not wear out. Just something I thought of, not anything I have ever heard. Makes sense to me though.
