    Which foot is the best sewing foot to use for the binding when you are machine sewing the binding on. Thank You all so much for your help.

    I use a walking foot. I have Vikings and there is an interchangeable setup so you can change out the feet on it. I just set the needle to the position that best fits onto the binding.

    I sew the binding on the backside with the walking foot, then flip it to the front side and use some type of decorative stitch with regular foot.
