I will give this a try in the near future. Thanks for the heads up!! :)

I could not quilt without mine. Use it all the time.
|
I use mine too. Mine came with my machine and I didn't know what to use it for. Then I happened to watch a tutorial on Youtube and decided to give it a try. My goodness, it is so much easier when you use the right tools for the job.:)

I use mine too! and for piecing as well...much more accurate for me.

A walking foot is the only way to go when attaching binding. And when you think about it, that totally makes sense since the quilt is the same thickness it is when you are doing the actual quilting. My Janome has a built in walking foot and it's a snap to just pull it down whenver I need it.

I have never used mine, but sounds like I need to try it! I do all my bindings by machine, so this might be a good chance to, thanks for the heads up!...

The walking foot is excellent for adding the binding.
You know the hair clip looking binding clips? I read that some quilters use them to help keep the binding and quilt aligned when initially sewing the binding on (as in before they turn it to the front/back). That would help too. I can't wait to try that suggestion. |
Would you believe they are also making them for a lot of the vintage machines, as well! Even featherweights.
|
Binding is impossible to apply smoothly without a walking foot! I have one for my old Singer 401A, paid around $12 for it on eBay several years ago. Wouldn't think of getting one for my old Bernina! Too expensive.
