Speed binding!!

 





Wowzer!
All I can say about this is ,
"Where have you been all my life!"
I managed to bind four bed size quilts in 
one day using this foot. 
This technique is used when the 
binding is sewn to the back of the quilt 
and then folded over onto the front. 
It manages to keep the stitching exactly
 placed on my binding
 and lets me speed along, stress free. 
Here is how it works. 

The guide that is in the middle and is
 usually placed in the " ditch or seam"
 for quilting is used as a 
guide for the edge of the binding . 
 Set the needle position to right of the binding edge
 as desired and then 
top stitch the binding in place. 

This foot is called a "Stitch in the ditch foot"
You should easily be able to find this foot 
at any sewing machine store or supplier. 
You may even find this in you sewing 
machine tool box!
