Default Binding foot

I was watching an episode of The Great British Sewing Bee and noticed that some were using a binding foot, an odd looking foot that wraps the binding under (I'm assuming) and makes it even on the front and back. I know that some of you are able to machine sew your bindings on, but I have struggles with it so usually just hand sew. Has anyone ever used a binding foot or would the thickness of a quilt prevent it from working properly?
On a side note, it was 50's week and this was used on an older Singer, so maybe they don't make the foot for a newer machine.
