in case some people don't know,
if you click on the download button by the pics it will open up in another window and you'll be able to magnify the pic and zoom in on different areas to examine the quilt and the stitching. |

I bought a (generic) 2" binding foot for it - or whoa-ez-me - what an invention this is! I used it to bind some quicky fleece blankets for Christmas presents along with the walking foot and you would have thought I'd been doing it forever, they came out so neat and even.
do you stitch the binding down first and then use the special binding foot to help fold the binding to the back? how do you do mitered corners with the binding and the special binding foot? so basically, i would like to know exactly how you're doing this and if you could post a link or pic of the special binding foot that you use that would be wonderful. or if you live nearby, put on a pot of coffee and i'll be over with some cake/cookies and a few quilts to bind off :-D |
WOW!!! I have learned so many tips here!!! Thank you all :D:D:D I will never be able to handsew all of my bindings, so this is really appreciated :D:D:D

Here is the link I was talking about - this website is a wealth of information :lol: http://www.thequiltshow.com/bernina/301.html |
I have the generic binder attachments but could never figure out how they worked....maybe it's time I got them back out and tried again :lol: :lol: I wonder how all my quilts will look with rounded corners??? :lol: :lol:
