I have attached lots of bindings using my regular sewing foot. I usually cut my binding 2 1/4 inches and finish my binding at 3/8 inch. Be sure to square your quilt before applying the binding-especially the corners. I always pin binding to the quilt to be sure that I don't hit the corner with a seam. Be sure to use a sufficient number of pins. You don't want the bottom layer to be advanced more than the top layer which will sometimes happen because of the feed dogs. Baste those areas that have the 'pin tucks' and they should disappear if they are just 'pin tucks'. Go slow.
