It has a deep groove underneath for the binding to ride when I sew it down. I use the 8mm felling foot for my Bernina (#71) and cut my strips at 2". I got a decent finish my first try without practice.

I found this technique on a blog and all I can cay is THANK YOU to the bloger:

This is the one I want to try, saw it a long time ago but forgot about it, so thanks to OP for this thread! For my machine, it is called an adjustable bias binder, will adjust from 6mm to 20mm.
