I rec'd a new sewing machine. Janome, Memory Craft 6600P and I also rec'd a Quilt Binder Set - I have not opened either yet since want to read, read, read instructions. My husband also got my a free lesson from the dealer. Has anyone used the Quilt Binder Set??? Does it work??? it sounds to good to be true.

Congrats on your new toys. They've talked a lot about the new quilt binder set over on Yahoo's 6500 /6600 group. You may want to join . It's a literal treasure trove of info.
I'm a new owner of a 6600 and I've learned alot there.

Happy holidays!

I own it but have not used it

Thanks...I am going to check out that forum.

I found this link too...very helpful

Thank you!
I hope you like your machine. I really put mine through a workout the last two days and it was great. I've had mine for a few months but haven't done much more than piece with it. I made a few quilted totes and I gotta tell you, the Accufeed was amazing. I was very impressed. If you join the Yahoo group, Brubaker's will give you a 10 or 15% discount code ( can't remember which) from their site. You can use it if anytime you want to buy more feet for it, etc..

For what it's worth, the only thing I was disappointed in is the crappy vinyl cover. My old Janome has a hardcase . I expected the same with the 6600 --especially since it's a much more expensive machine. Regardless, you'll have to let me know how you like the binding set. I've heard mostly good things about it.

Happy holidays!

I was a bit surprise about the cover also you would think with the amount the machine cost they could have done a little better.

Here is a link on how to use the binding tool...I still have not tried it yet.

Hmmm. my old kenmore had a binder foot that was similar. Once I got the hang of it I did like it.

http://sewjanome.blogspot.com/2010/0...tachments.html here is the one my husband bought...its still in the package...he wants me to use it on the quilt i just made him. I am trying to read up and find videos on how to use it...

I found this tutorial...so far its the best I can find...not haviing much luck.

From what I understand, the quilt binder foot is meant to use one layer of fabric and it folds it under on both the top and bottom sides before it gets stitched on. The ends up giving you only 1 layer of fabric on the actual edge of the quilt.
My Janome dealer says you can feed a folded fabric through it but it is tedious to get it started.

here I go....time to try this new binding tool....fingers crossed,,,I wish there was better video on how to do this

I gave up...I am hand sewing my binding...I am going to ask the dealer how the heck to use that binding tool....but I just want to finish this quilt....

http://janomelife.wordpress.com/2010...-quilt-binder/ I found this PDF instructions...still looking for a video on how to do the corners with the binding tool.
