Outstanding, very helpful tutorial. I appreciated the precision, demonstration of the ruler in making the corners, adjustments needed, etc. thank you so much.
Thank you for your focus on the importance of understanding how to properly select the correct presser foot to accomplish our desired outcome. This is critical information! You’re one of a very few RUclips content providers that even mentions considering the “turn of the cloth” factor that impacts the final width of the finished binding. Good for you!! I mention this because I like to use two layers of batting for my bed quilts - one is the typical Warm and Natural cotton binding, and the other is a high loft 80/20. This makes for a softer quilt, in my opinion. However, it also increases the thickness of the quilt at the edges where the binding is applied. Therefore, the “turn of the cloth” depth is greater, and the finished width of the binding will be reduced accordingly. So, I always cut my binding strips at 3-inches because I prefer a 1/2-inch wide binding, especially on a queen or king-sized quilt. I said all that to say this: Because my quilt is thicker due to using double batting, just before I sew on the binding, I compress the thickness at the edge of the entire quilt by using the multi-step zig zag stitch at a width of a scant 3/8-inch. This is the zig zag that uses three tiny stitches on the zig and three tiny stitches on the zag. It compresses the thickness very effectively. Just thought I’d share that tip in case it helps someone. 🥰
Great, great tutorial, TFS! I wish that such a useful and handy seam guide existed also for my 9400QCP!! Love that your nail varnish matches your quilt!😉

The tutorial was very helpful, Kate. So many of us are learning much from RUclips videos but precision is not always described well and the camera work is often not done well. You excelled at both. I will purchase that little 2.5 ruler and the seam setter.

Great video, learned some new techniques for the corners and closing binding, cannot wait to try. Question, when doing the corners. I noticed you locked the stitch before turning the corner. Once you flipped and began sewing, I did not notice you locked the stitch, should you?
@@JanomeJAI I have the plastic part can’t remember seeing the long metal part that you have attached to it. I’ll have to see if I have that. Thanks so much!
@@JanomeJAII do not have that long metal piece that looks like a ruler that you show attached here, is that a separate attachment to buy? Or is it exclusive for this particular machine you are demonstrating with? Thanks in advance!
@@carriejetton966I am cutting the stitches when stitching the binding and restarting. When you flip, you won’t need to do that. You will stitch right the miter line and then pivot with the needle down. There will be no need to lock stitches.
Those are some great tips. I have a 9450 QPC and that will work just fine.

Thank you.This was time well spent watching this tutorial. I loved learning from the insights you shared. From sunny Queensland, Australia 😊
A great tutorial! I learned some new techniques! Thank you so much! Please do more tutorials!
I have watched many binding videos. Yours is the best ever for what I want to do. I don't have the m17 but I do have the M7
Hi Linda-the M7 will be able to do all these techniques just fine!!
Thanks for this helpful video
You are so welcome!

Really helpful to see how you used the little ruler to draw the 45 angle line
Some great tips! Thanks 😊
Thanks for an excellent tutorial Kate
Recently Bought the M8 and this Video 'translated' well, thanks Kate! I really like that Pen Marking took but having trouble finding it online!
We're so glad it worked for you!
Hello from Georgia👍
Hi from the UK.
Yes 🙌🙌🙌perfekt video ❤️🫶🙈
Hello from kalispell, Mt
Excellent tutorial. Will the cloth setter work on janome 6700p?
I don’t see that tool for the 6700 but this may be an alternate option: ruclips.net/video/50LEL5Cb_Ck/видео.htmlsi=wtPY3x7hfD11I6GJ
Does the cloth setter work on the Horizon Memory Craft 9400?

Your presser foot is down while threading 😮
With this machine you lock before threading, that is the usual position. The tension discs are open.
@@JanomeJAI that is so cool!! I always forget to raise my foot 😂😂😂
