Anyone use one of these?

I have a Pfaff bi-level foot which is amazing. It's still a 2 step process though. but the finish is much better than I could do with an ordinary foot. I love this foot and I've not bound anything by hand since I got this foot.

I bought a cheap one years ago for sewing pre-packaged bias binding on things such as potholders, etc. It was supposed to sew all layers at one time, but I found it impossible to do a neat job ... stuff was slipping and sliding every which way; I assume doing a one-step quilt binding would be a real "Mission Impossible". I saw a professional quilter on t.v. several years ago who had a large, sophisticated and expensive piece of equipment for that, but it was not an item for the average home quilter.

I have one. I have only used it on satin binding, which is a pain in the neck anyways. I would not use the foot for satin binding again. I will be finishing another quilt soon, I'll let you know what I think of it with cotton binding.
Thanks!
Thanks!
