It's probably called an edge stitch foot and has a sort of *blade* that you put along the edge and move the needle to where you want the stitching.

I have been sewing bindings on by machine for the last couple months and it seems to go faster and if you match the thread it looks pretty good. It seems to be better on my shoulders than by hand

I thought you would need a walking foot for this thickness of fabric stitching on the binding. I can see the sid foot would help if you didn't need the walking foot. I'll try this. Thanks.

I bought the walking foot version of the Stitch in the Ditch foot for my Janome 6600, but just can't get the hang of it. The blade prevents the quilt from moving along. I might have to go back and try again with less foot pressure. It's been while since I've tried it, and the foot was expensive.

SID is "stitch in the ditch". Sometimes these abbreviations can throw you.

Thanks for the information Ladies. I too do not like the way my bindings turn out.

I bought that foot for my 6600 also and it works fine for me. I'm assuming your right - that you need to lower the pressure on the machine.
