I also love the binding part. It is my final touch to a quilt.

I was at my local Janome dealer looking for this special binder. The only one that would fit my Janome9000 was a generic make. I took a quilt and binding to the store so they could demo for me. It did not work. They had a binder for a Bernina that, describing, stood on its side with the binding held up then it folder into the binder. Not buying a new machine just for that.

I will have to check it out

For someone who makes lots of quilts it would be great. But I'm lucky to make one a year so it'd sit in the drawer for a long while before I got to use it.

during a shop hop on Friday I saw an industrial machine with a foot attachment that automatically took 2 1/4 strip binding, pulled it thru a funnel like attachment, folded it perfectly, threaded it under the foot to be sewn front AND back at the same time... This lady literally binded a king size quilt in less than 5 min... I WANT THAT !!!!! anyone have any idea if there is such a thing for NON-commercial machine?? -preferably a PFAFF ..

I don't mind doing binding, when it minds me.
GOD bless! |

Martelli makes one, it's called the Kwik Bind System and it's just shy of $150. I know it is for 1/2" as opposed to 1/4" binding but you see both sides at the same time. It also comes with a DVD as well as written instructions. I don't have one but have seen it demoed and know people who use it on their machines and love it. As far as I know, it can be used with pretty much any machine.
