You can use the zigzag stitch as a decorative stitch....I finished some of my big quilts this way.....It turn out great for my standarts but ....I must admit .they are not too high....( :lol: :lol: :lol: )
Enjoy whatever you are doing and good luck

She has excellent videos on preparing the binding, sewing it to the quilt, and turning it. This video shows it stitched by hand (for very important quilts) but she also has a power point presentation on turning and stitching by machine. She is a prize winning quilter and this method does work.

i fold my binding back, covering the stitching line, then insert a straight pin from the front, pinning along the "ditch" where i will sew. the pins face the machine foot and i pull them out as i go. i hold the binding a bit after pulling the pin out and 99% of the time i catch it all. just pin corners well. works .

Leah Day did a tutorial on this. I tried it, but I didn't like the way it looked. I'm back to the old-fashioned, hand-sewing way. The only quilts I machine bind are my Downy quilts (and they require it).

I sew the binding on the back, bring it to the front and then stitch using invisible thread in the BOBBIN. When you wind the bobbin, wind slower than usual and wind less on the bobbin than normal. Works for me...............you can barely see the bobbin stitches.
