A few threads down someone had a link to a manual for a 301. The binding attachment is shown in the manual, if you would like to look at the process. I had one on my older machines, and used them for regular sewing, but not for binding on a quilt. Worked for regular sewing.

I have the Janome binder attachment and love it. It was pricey, over $100, but has been totally worth it since I can't do handwork for any extended length of time. The corners took some practice but are working out fine. Finishing the end has also been a learning curve but I'm getting there. I've bound at least 11 quilts with it since September. I definitely can't bind a quilt in five minutes but I can get it done in about 30 to 45 minutes, sometimes less depending on the size of the quilt.

I agree with "QuiltnNan" I enjoy the binding process. Maybe we need to make a deal with some of you who don't. Could work out for all of us.

When I Googled "Janome binder attachment quilts", the binder attachment in the Youtube video came up right away. When I Googled the same thing but replaced Janome with Pfaff, nothing even remotely similar came up.

My bet is that this is a new attachment for Janome and the other brands have not caught up with it yet. It is different from the usual binding attachment for sewing, in that the quilting attachment feeds the binding strip in from the right. That ribbon-like feed on the right side of the attachment is really different from regular binding attachments.

I started rounding my corners to bind my quilts so I can use these swing-away binders, and love it! I surge the edges, then bind fast.<o></o>
Corners are better rounded; Think out side the “box”. I can send pictures if you like. You must use an [older] machine with the two holes on the bed of the machine.<o></o>

I know Bernina had one. When I saw it last year I too wanted it. But it was about 250.00 can bind a lot of quilts fo that.
Has anyone tried the binder maker that ypu pull fabric through and it presses too?

I am with you Nancy. I quilt because I like the process and am not in the mass market business. The binding is one of the relaxing aspects of quilting for me, seeing it all come to fruition.

I have one for my Janome, unfortunately when I bought my machine and( I bought that at the same time ) I never went back for them to show me how to use it. I have only attempted once and did not get the hang of it. I would be interested in others that have it and how you start.
