Thank you Ladies for your replies.
I have had a re-think on purchasing the binder attachment. It's a lot of money for something that may or may not make the task of attaching the binding any easier. As I am only a newbie to quilting but have sewn for many years, I have decided to at least give the conventional method a go. [If that fails, well it will be back to the "drawing board' There are some very clear tutorials that I can draw on. Once again, I thank you for input and advice.
