Left compensating sewing machine foot.
 

I have the Juki 2010q machine and I have been using the left compensating foot to sew on binding and it is a game changer. My binding by machine has perfectly consistent width from the edge of the binding. I can use contrasting thread and not be afraid of a wobbly stitch line. I bought the different widths of the compensating foot at
Wawak.com But the one I use the most is the 1/16th. Exactly 1/16 from the edge of my binding I get a perfectly straight stitch. I will never hand sew a binding again. If you have a high shank machine try the compensating feet.. https://www.wawak.com/sewing/sewing-...essories/feet/

Try the double compensating. Left and right in the same foot. I prefer 1/32 for true edge stitching. https://www.amazon.com/KUNPENG-Compe.../dp/B078W2VLTX

Good to know, Onebyone! I have so much trouble doing both sides. I always end up hand sewing the back and I'd love to not have to! While my Bernina was being serviced I used my Juki and I love that machine!
quiltmaster- that one you linked doesn't say it works on the 2010 q.

Do they also make one for a low shank machine? I'd be interested in that for my Janome MC6500.
Edited: I just googled the site and even put "low shank conpensating feet" in the search bar and a page did come up for this....but all the feet were high shank. Someone didn't do their job right!! LOL

I'll have to watch the double on being used. I don't know how if both sides are the same it would make a seam guide against the binding on the right. I have left side compensating feet. I'll check it out. I ordered the 1/32 foot.

I don't think a low shank compensating foot is available. I have never seen one.

I use the edging presser feet for binding and for seaming and applique. I have different widths for different projects, both left edging feet and right edging feet. I have from 1/2" down to 1/32". (1/2, 3/8, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32) I got mine at Cutex Sewing Supplies They are made for industrial machines (work on high shank sewing machines) and the edging piece on them is made the same as the rest of the presser foot, not the flimsey piece of sharp metal that you find on some.

I also got a wide foot from them that I use for doing in-the-ditch. The forks of the presser foot, press down on my seam(s), keeping the ditch line open and makes staying in the ditch so easy.

Cutex Sewing Supplies has the compensating presser feet for low shank machines, you can get them in different widths from this link. Go on the link and select the width size you want. It lists the Janome as a machine it fits. (scroll down for description and list on link page)

These are the ones I bought: (see my first post above) Left Guide (Cutex Sewing Supplies) Right Guide and Wide presser foot that I use for in-the-ditch as it holds down the seams and opens the ditch for straight, easier sewing..

I think it is wonderful to have so many options to help us get great results for our efforts. I ordered the other compensating feet I didn't have or knew about. Thanks everyone.

I'd like to get one of these compensating feet, but I need to ask a few questions. I sew my binding to the back of the quilt, turn the binding to the front and then topstitch. Would I need a left compensating foot? I usually use my walking foot to topstitch. Does the fabric move smoothly with the compensating foot? Thanks so much.

I have never heard of these! What specifically do they do?

I sew the binding to the back and machine sew it down on the front. I make sure the binding is not wider on the front then back so the stitches will not show on the quilt top on the back. Well most times if the thread color is the same as the quilting thread then it doesn't bother me for it to show. Here is a video of how the left compensating foot will do it's magic.

Thanks, Onebyone.

I use an adjustable zipper foot for machine stitching binding on my low shank machines.

Thanks, great idea !

I always do a piped binding. Does the size of the foot indicate distance from the edge? Thanks for this post OP. Certainly, piqued my interest 😁
I have gotten a bit sloppy as my eyes age.

I tried the 1/32 foot yesterday. It is perfect for machine sewing the binding. The stitches are 1/32" from the edge of the binding. It doesn't show in the picture but the binding is greenish and the thread is shinny gold color. I don't mind the stitches showing since they are straight all around the quilt.

I used the left 1/ 32 foot not the double one. The left side of the foot follows the binding edge so even if the binding isn't exactly straight the stitches will be the exact distance from the edge. I could see exactly what I need to do to make the binding perfect next time.

Oh boy, I want one--a left-compensating, LOW shank, probably 1/32". I followed the link above to Cutex, and yes, they have low shank compensating feet, but apparently only right-compensating. Anyone who has a left-compensating, low shank foot, please tell me where you found it--I've spent too much time trying to track down the right kind. (They seem to have different names, some with little springs to compensate, some just with a thicker solid side. I want a springy one.) PM me or tell us all. Thank you!
