 2 members like this. Date: 12/25/12 11:21 PM So I bought the binding attachment set for my Horizon a few months ago from someone on SewItsForSale. I have a quilted quilt ready to bind.
Then I went to a quilting retreat in October with great intentions of binding that first quilt of mine... heh heh... But do ya think I got around to doing the binding? Heck no. I had fun doing goofy projects instead and spent the weekend decompressing from my crazy family and didn't want to do anything that required too many brain cells. 
Then I moved in November.... and the chunk of fabric I bought for the binding is A.W.O.L. from the move. (That's my best excuse for still not finishing that quilt and I'm sticking to it) 
So today (Christmas Day as I write this) I had the whole day to just poop around at home (I did the family thing yesterday... so the kids are at the inlaws today) ... and I made a 18" x 46" simple table runner for this one entry table in my house that badly needs something on top. 
Gotta run and pick up my daughter from Greyhound soon... but I *swear* I'm gonna come home and tackle this binding thing.
I've only done a little binding on a few small (VERY SMALL) projects.. and I screw up cutting the spiral every time. I have had good luck with that 1" binding foot... but gonna try the big one tonight.
I'm off to YouTube to get some learnin' in again... :winkgrin:
Wish me luck. ------ nightowlsally.com
On my radar someday: Babylock Serger, and some machine for travel.
My dearest wish is to have Bernina come out with a machine that doesn't give me a reason to *not* buy it.

Date: 12/28/12 4:36 AM ohhh Good Luck - How did it go? Did you like the binding attachment?
hmm my fav method of binding a quilt (uh the 7 I've done so far LOL) is on You-Tube (LOVE those tut's)... from a sewing company in North or South Dakota - her accent is really cute but it's a good lesson and I watch it every time before I bind.
Hope you got through it!

Date: 12/30/12 10:40 PM I have to confess... I have the same binder for my 6600 and have yet to use it. I think I might start with a simple project but when I comes to bindings I have never been happy with those I do entirely with machine... so I have to challenge myself to tackle the binder. But right now my sewing room is undergoing a complete overhaul... there is not sewing happening there! ------ Janome MC6600 Bernina 240 Juki MO735 Singer 201-2 Singer 221-1 Singer 15-91 |
