Better late than never--Just "found" the right foot for sewing bindings!

I've been at this quilting stuff for 20 years or so and just this past couple of quilts did it finally dawn on me that my "stitch in the ditch" foot (#10) for my Bernina Activia 135 is wonderful for stitching bindings down by machine on the front of the quilt! I just moved the needle over to the right size and stitched away--It works so well, I can't imagine why I've been so slow catching on. But I thought it might make someone else look over their machine feet and perhaps find one that will make some of your quilting easier!

I have a Singer (low shank) machine and bought the generic SID foot from JoAnn's, I think. I use it for binding all my kids and baby quilts where I stitch on the back first and then fold to the front and top stitch with the SID foot. I usually use the point of my seam ripper to hold the binding in place until the presser foot grabs it. Works fantastic and the corners come out perfect. I too, have to adjust my needle position 3-5 clicks to the right, and match the bobbin thread to the backing of my quilt.
