    Love it! purchased it in 1994 and haven't had a moments trouble with it. I think I paid $1600 back then and was embarrassed to tell anyone how much I paid as I thought that was outrageous for a sewing machine. But compared to the prices now....it's a bargain!

    great post... and love all the ideas shared. I don't have one of those cute scrap bags yet. Is there a pattern somewhere?

    I roll my binding up and stick it over my wrist so that it feeds smoothly.

    I use an empty cardboard toilet paper tube and wrap the binding around it. I then take a string and hang it around my neck. It works out great. I got the idea from a catalog where they sell some wood dowel that you do the same thing with. Mine was free and disposable after use.

    I like to accordian fold mine and put it in a large heavy flowerpot and set it on the left side of my chair. It feeds perfectly and the flower pot is heavy enough that it doesn't roll around or tip over.

    I just cut a small piece of cardboard and cut little dips in each end. This way I can store them flat in a drawer.

    I accordion pleat my binding into a square tissue box which I place on the floor. The weight of the binding keeps the box upright and it feeds easily through the slot on the top.
