    I have 2 different sizes for my Husqvarna Viking. I have never used them. I make my binding 2 1/2" and rarely use bias. The larger bias tape maker has slots for different sizes binding.

    The thing about the binding attachement is that you have top stitching on both sides of the binding. After spending so much time making my quilt i don't want the binding to appear machine stitched.

    I just ordered one from Nancy's Notions. It is for low shank and is on sale at $17.49. There was a tutorial that I watched also. Sure will make life easier if I can get it to work as well.

    I have the Kwik Bind System and it does sew the front and back at the same time and miters the corners it takes a lot of practice which I haven't had time to do, set up takes a lot of time, and I did get that done. I did do a small peice and it came out good corners are nice to. But I can see where one would have to practice. It will fit any machine as it comes with all kinds of adapters for slant,high,low shanks. I hope to have time this spring to work with mine some more. It will even fit on my 15-91 singer. Which is the machine I want to use it on most.

    My local Janome store has one for Janome machines. It too is under $150. It was $126 the first time I saw it. That's how much things are going up. My Fiskars strip cutter was $23 when I bought it, now it is $50. Sieze opportunity when you are financially able because they will go up in price.

    I have a binding foot for my pfaff that I got from ebay, for my pfaff. It was less than $25, and it sounds like the one you saw but for home machines. Let me know if you need a pic and I'll see if I can post one.

    I saved up for the ridiculously expensive Bernina attachment and went back to the dealer a couple of times for hands-on instruction but I have never been able to get it to work once I get home. The strips that feed into it have to be cut absolutely perfectly and it can't handle the bulk of a sandwiched quilt. I believe there is a very steep learning curve with it and keep vowing to sit down and practice with it until I get it to work but it's been a complete disappointment and a total waste of $$$ for me. I can't even begin to imagine how to make mitered corners with it.

    Check on www.Amazon.com first as I have seen binding feet there or www.clotilde.com. They are called bias tape binding foot. Not sure if this is the thingy you are talking about.
