    I love this foot! I also use it for joining two pieces of batting. Put the bar between the two pieces so there is no overlap, then use a stitched zig zag stitch! Great way to use up leftover batting.

    I have a Singer 201 Treadle that has an guide that bolts to the deck to keep the seam the same distance from the edge. I got it from my mother who got it from her mother who got it in 1936 and it works today as good as when it was new.

      petmom ful I always bind mine like this, but I’ve machine-stitched the back and hand-sewn the front. This is a great attachment! You’ll love how nice the binding looks when you’re done even on the back. See how she metered the corners. It’s easy and looks great.

We just got the new Brother Luminaire a couple of weeks ago and have not used all the feet that came with it. But i will be giving this one a try for sure. As many quilts as we make this will help us so much.

      Tony, I do a lot of bindings as I have a longarm business. I do a 2 1/4 for better control and always starch the prepared binding as I fold it over during binding prep. It keeps the binding from getting ripples. And I do use this foot!

    Do you buy your invisible thread bobbins? Or load them your self? Do you need to change your tension when using it in your bobbin? I know I need to when using as a top thread. LOVED this video!! I want to try it but would love to hear an answer before I try.

    • @barblewis864
      @barblewis864 5 лет назад

      I wind my own bobbins. And it goes a long way. I don't change my tension. I haven't had any problems. I don't often use it in my needle. I don't have as much control with it in the needle.

    • @barblewis864
      @barblewis864 5 лет назад

      It is NOT the same foot. The Stitch in the Ditch can do a lot of things but I prefer the Edge Joining foot for the binding. I found that the Stitch in the Ditch would sometimes get caught on the fabric.

What brand name of Invisible thread do you use, if you can say. 2. 50 wt cotton thread? I love Aurifil. Advice please? I plan on buying the foot immediately. It looks easier to use than my bi-level foot.

      It doesn't feed the layers the same way as a walking foot, but that wouldn't be a problem if your quilt is quilted before putting on the binding.

    I've been making a quilt for my sister in law out of her late dad's clothes, really struggling with the binding catching it underneath and being all the same so I've decided to do it this way. The binding is like velour and sucks because it moves and you can't really iron it 😔 anyway, I'm going to try this method, but as the quilt is thick will it be OK with the binding foot or do I need the walk foot? This gives a better professional fonoah on the front for sure
