Anyone use the Bernina Binding Attachment for bindings?
Has anyone had good success with the newish foot/attachment #88 to do their bindings? http://www.bernina.com/en-US/Product...r-feet-us/-95C
I believe there are 3 sizes with the #88 that do the double fold binding and I would like some feedback on it. |
I will be interested in the answers you receive.
|
I've seen it demonstrated but it's too costly for me.
|
I would like to see answers as well, I am seriously considering it.

I don't know about these newer binding feet. I know that Bernina used to offer 3 binders for vintage machines, but they ultimately took the quilting binder off the market because it did not work very well on the thickness of quilts. The other sizes had quite a learning curve, but could be used successfully for binding the edges of sleeves on little girls' dresses, for example.

The one I looked at runs about $169 at my local Bernina dealer plus the presser foot you need runs about another $25. I'll do mine the old fashioned way, thank you.

It looks good on the video, but I have never tried one or seen a quilt up close that it was used on. The lady at my LQS did bibs and pot holders with one several years ago. It did a nice job on them, but they weren't as thick as a quilt.
