i have the snap on foot that attaches to my Janome..it does ok until you get to the corners, then i have trouble with it..

i would not use it again.

i sew the front and back binding at the same time with a fancy stitch/walking foot.

I have one and I love it. You have to use it along with your walking foot. It takes a bit of practice to get everything together alright; kind of reminds me of when I first learned to drive cause you have to watch in front of your and watch to your right and left to make sure everything is coming together just right. I always hated binding and using bias strips 'cause I could never get it together right on the machine and ended up doing one edge totally by hand. Last Christmas I bought a generic one for my machine and I LOVE IT!!!!

Something like this, right?

I have used this foot and it works pretty well. There are also clips and a miter bar that work with this but that set is about double in cost. I haven't invested in that.
Hand stitching is best if going in a show or the quilt is extra special.

I have the Martelli system & it is great for baby quilts or anything that is going to get a lot of washing. It certainly saves a lot of time & it comes with the mitering tools. Would not use it on an heirloom quilt.

You have to be really careful about what you type in when you're searching on the Web. I typed in "Cool Whip" once looking for low sugar things for my diabetic husband. Wow! I had no idea there were so many different meanings to the phrase. Need I say more?

Once, long ago, when the internet was still fairly young, I was looking for a job. Did I type "employment"? Nooo. I typed "jobs". :oops:
