It does help to starch the unfolded bias ribbon and to crease it down the middle before applying it. The crease helps it fall into place better when mitering a corner.
Can some one tell me what the result width is using the different Unfolded Biais folder? 28mm gives me? 32mm gives me? 38 gives me? would like to know the result width before investing in this rather expensive binder thanks for an answer
Hello Frank, Good question! The 28 mm has a finished width of 7mm, 32 mm is 8 mm and 38 mm is 11mm. It is a wonderful accessory and it won’t take long until you cover your costs with all the time you will save, not to mention the beautiful finish you will get on your projects.
Hi Janet in Sisters, thanks for asking. Yes, it is possible to use the binder for a binding on a finished quilt sandwich. However, you will have to try if the quilt sandwich is not too thick. It needs to be able to run through the binder easily. Here's a post on the German blog on how to use the binder for a quilt binding: blog.bernina.com/de/2016/11/bandeinfasser/ (you might want to try Google translate for an English translation: blog-bernina-com.translate.goog/de/2016/11/bandeinfasser/?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp) Regarding alternative presser feet - here is another blog post on Weallsew that should answer your question: weallsew.com/quilt-binding-tip/ Please also read the comments under the blog. We recommend that you either take the Walking Foot #50 or Edgestitch Foot #10D or even the standard Reverse Pattern Foot 1D. The optimum foot choice depends a lot on what batting you are using.
+Paula Rose Hi Paula, the binder attachment #88 for bias strips allows you to use non-bias cuts as well. However, if you are going around a corner or a curve, the strip will not be as flexible as the bias tape. It is possible that the bias will then slip off the attachment. That’s why a bias tape is recommended. If you follow a straight line, there's no problem. Kind regards from Steckborn
Dear pinklacelady, there are binders for different tape widths. The tape should be match the size/type of the tape holder, see 00:27 of the video. Make sure to position the tape so that it can be pulled into the channel without resistance and please use presser foot 95. If that doesn't help please contact your BERNINA dealer.
+Kris G You can also do the same as when finishing "by hand". Start somewhere in the middle of a side, leaving about 5" or 6" of binding before you start sewing. Sew all around, mitering corners, stop sewing about 6-8" from your starting point. Cut off excess binding leaving a 5" or 6" tail. Join ends of binding as usual and top stitch the remaining area. Hope this helps.
I have an older Bernina machine, it's an 801 sport. Could you tell me if these feet would fit my machine? Or give me the equivalent feet numbers for my machine.
The binder foot #95 does not have the two prongs necessary to attach to your machine. I have an old style 830 and I must attach binding by hand using straight pins and machine stitch to secure.
Hi, can one bind bulky edges with this (e.g. quilt sandwiches) and use for jersey fabric binding (e.g. on Tshirts)...? Also, how are these products called in German? I cannot seem to find any at the online store Naepark de Thank you.
Hi Anna, yes, the BERNINA binders can be used both for jersey and quilt sandwiches (see this article for an example: blog.bernina.com/de/2013/09/zubehor-des-monats-september-bandeinfasser-87/). The binder is called Bandeinfasser in German. Naehpark.de will surely have it and they will be happy to answer all your questions regarding this product. Kind regards from Steckborn
When binding a quilt using the Bernina Bias Binder #88 95C foot, how do I finish the end. All the tutorials show how to start, do mitered corners and round edges but there is not tutorial on how to finish the last corner.
Hi aswencak, this is how to finish the last corner: before you reach the starting end, trim away the excess so everything is even with the edge. Stop about 1/2" from the starting end, clip the bias about 1" past the starting end, and fold the end under 1/2" (the ends will overlap about 1/2"). Stich in place.
Hi aswencak, if you want to have mitered corners on all 4 corners, please dont' start sewing at one of the corners but on one of sides, then sew all 4 corners as described in the video and finish where you have started. Kind regards
OK using the BIAS Binder #88, how would I start in the middle, that seems very cumbersome as the tutorials start at the edge. Sorry but I am a novice with this and haven' used my binder foot yet, but have used my walking foot when binding.
Well, I am beginning to use a 88 binder and I must admit I am rather disappointed. First of all, I see no difference in using Foot 1C with this binder, since the binder itself is adjustable to the foot. I think the customers overpay by additionally buying Foot 95C! I bought the widest binder - for the tape of 38 mm - and the on the jersey fabric the binding ended up being 1 cm only - good for sleeves and not neck cuts ((. Besides, the jersey material (especially thinner knits) really feed poorly, especially if you sew in a circle. I wonder what the width of a final binding would be for a quilt sandwich...?!
The tongues on the #95 Foot are different widths to allow the foot to snug up close to the Attachment on the right, while still providing maximum surface contact with the feed dogs on the left. Will give better results than trying to use the general-purpose #1 Foot.

I just bought the #88 binder attachment for my 790 plus. I’ve been doing practice binding on scraps and i am soooooo frustrated. No matter how hard i try, i cannot get the quilt to go into the fold and stay there. There are places where it is barely caught and the binding feels empty and there are places where it doesn’t catch at all. I CANNOT find any videos on troubleshooting. The videos posted all make it look like it’s easy peasy...... but it’s not. I just want to take it off the machine and stomp it!!! 😢😭😡🤬
Dear Betty, thanks for your comment. The BERNINA binder hasn't been designed for binding quilts. If a thick batting is used, it can be hard to get the fabric edges into the opening of the binder. We recommend that you flatten the edges first by neatening them with a zigzag stitch, see 02:57 of the video. Here's a blog article with tips and tricks on binding quilt edges with the binder: weallsew.com/quilt-binding-tips-and-techniques/

Thanks for the fast and clear answer, may be a tip to take this up into the accessories manual and instruction manual?
@@frankdemuynck4633 You're welcome! The suggestion has already been forwarded to the responsible teams :-)
This is perfect to help set the binder up to fit the machine. The paper that comes with the binder is impossible to see, or understand. Thanks.
Happy New Year Mary
I followed the paper and this video and still can’t get it to work right
Does this binder work for sewing a quilt binding on a finished quilt sandwich. A regular quilt. If not, which foot is best for sewing on a binding?

Nice visual presentation
Hi Bob, thanks a lot! 👍 We're glad you like the video.
Can selvage-to-selvage or non-bias cuts be used with this Bernina attachment?
Thank you in advance!

My bias fabric did not feed evenly. Any suggestions?

How do you finish the end? Can you use nonfolded material? I've got the attachment but a little unsure on these two things.
+Kris G You can also do the same as when finishing "by hand". Start somewhere in the middle of a side, leaving about 5" or 6" of binding before you start sewing.

My Bernina is B 530 can I used this
Hi Silvia, yes, the binders 87 and 88 are compatible with your B 530.
Is it complatable with bernina 930

Can you use this on a different brand machine? Tia
Dear Sherrie, thanks for asking. Unfortunately, the answer is no. Our accessories are compatible with BERNINA products only.
did not show how to join tape ends, join start to finishing ends
Hi Csue, this is how to finish the last corner: before you reach the starting end, trim away the excess so everything is even with the edge. Stop about 1/2" from the starting end, clip the bias about 1" past the starting end, and fold the end under 1/2" (the ends will overlap about 1/2"). Stich in place.
