Do you use a 1/4 inch foot or walking foot? I have started my binding on a quilt and pinned from the middle of one side and I have to keep taking the pins out because when i sew it there is extra binding and i have to move it down. If I use the walking foot instead of 1/4 inch it may not do this? Thanks Suzanne

I use both. Depends what is on my machine at the time. I have never noticed a big difference between using either one. :)

I don't pin mine so that's not a problem. I don't want to ease it on because I don't want a ruffled binding. With the Elna, I have to use a walking foot. With the Singer 301, I don't need it so it depends on which machine I'm using.

I don't pin, nor do I use a special foot.
