That's what I have done too, but after reading the discussions above, I can hardly wait to try it! Wow! Such a timesaver! Thanks, Members, for this posting!

Okay... I had to go look and see if I could find a video showing this foot. I think I'm going to demo it at my next quilt guild meeting. Wow. It's a cool foot for a lot of things. We have a few ladies that are working on applique quilts and this foot would make life a lot easier for them as well.
I thought I'd share the really good video I found

HaHa! Another foot has changed names recently. It used to be called the fagoting foot. It's now more PC to use the name "Spanish Hemstitching" foot. To me it will always be fagoting though.

Thanks for sharing the video. I went to the website and looked at several of the other videos on feet. This will really help me use my feet to a much better advantage!
I bought a SID foot but then decided that I liked my walking foot better since it did better with the bulk of the quilt. Any tips that I am missing?

I always use the SITD foot on my Bernina for kids quilts or charity quilts. It is much faster and studier than hand sewn binding IMO. But I also had trouble getting the front side even with the back so it looks good. I took a class on Bindings a couple of years ago at my guild and found a terrific product. It's called "Wash Away Wonder Tape" by Dritz. It's 1/4" wide and I apply it to the inside edge of the binding when I fold it over. I stick the edge down about 1/8" past the stitch line from the back of the binding. then I move the needle over until I am 1/8" inside the edge, use the SITD foot to stay right on the edge of the binding and stitch it down. Works very well for me and is much easier than trying to use a stiletto to keep the binding in place as you remove clips.
