[QUOTE=EmiliasNana I usually use the point of my seam ripper to hold the binding in place until the presser foot grabs it.
Good grief! Don't you have a purple thang? Easier, safer (for you and the quilt)! Cheap. Seam rippers sometimes get a mind of their own and you end up with a hole.... unless your seam ripper is one of those dull ones, I guess.
