One thing the I learned and most tutorials don't mention is it is extremely helpful if you secure your layers not the edge. I used my mom's serger and bound her quilt the other day. It was the best binding that I did. I didn't have to us my walking foot, everything fed great and I knew where to stop for the mitered corners. I wish I would have boughten one with my mom as she got hers for a steal with our new machines..
