I've had a couple. They require a lot of skill to use correctly. Most people find them pretty frustrating.

I love to hand stitch the binding to the back, but for charity baby quilts I will go with the machine. Anyone use one of these? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wprg5vzkuGw |
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.

Nope don't have one, and don't want one.

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! |
Last week I watched the Baby Lock serger lady (demonstrator) use the double fold binder on the Evolution serger and I was instantly sold on it.
