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!
