oh wow, I forgot about this foot!
I am not so good at sewing binding on by machine. It just never looks tidy and seems to never keep a straight line. I had forgotten that i have a stitch in the ditch foot for my pfaff and rediscovered it last night. It was so easy to use with it's little guide that follows right along the line and keeps the stitches right in the ditch.
I really should pull out the different feet and play with them once in a while. Like all of those pretty stitches, I forget what all I can do. |
Great idea. Thanks for the "heads up"!
|
That would sure break up any boredom and do some decorative stitching. Thanks for the reminder!
|
I love my stitch in the ditch foot with the guide for machine stitching binding on from the front. Works like a charm.
|
It is the edge binding foot that comes with most machines. So be sure check to see if you have that one before buying a stitch in the ditch foot.

no, it's not the edge binding foot. I was talking about this foot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lom50e7zm1U
So often someone is asking how to stitch in the ditch and this foot was so helpful that I wanted to share the info. |
I must admit that the edge stitch foot is the one I use more than anything except the regular straight stitch one, and I am a foot junkie! Before I got my quilting machine. I used it for stitching next to (not on) the seam for contrast. I also use it frequently for garment sewing.

It is the Edge Joining Foot that comes with most machines that can be used just like the Stitch in the Ditch foot. The Stitch in the Ditch foot wan't marketed until the edge joining foot was used to do it. |
Hmmm. I have never tried my stitch in the ditch foot for binding. I am going to have to try it now. Thanks for the tip.

I have a Pfaff and I use my bi-level foot for sewing the binding on - sew the binding to the back first and then bring it to the front and sew it down with the bi-level. Love it!
