My Brother machine also has an auto sensor for thickness. I would suggest if you have trouble with your machine not feeding thick or bulky seams through easily to use a walking foot. The walking foot's feeddogs and you machine bed feeddogs will make it easier to sew the bulk.

I don't use a walking foot for binding and I don't hand sew anything. I use my regular foot to sew the binding to the back of the quilt, press the binding up then over the front with the edge just at the seam line, then use my zipper foot to sew the binding to the front. The seam will be in the ditch on the back and not show. I made a 36" square wall hanging a few weeks ago and the binding took less than an hour start to finish.

I use the 1/4" foot for binding. It works fine. I think that we all have slightly different techniques to do the same thing.

thanks, I'll try it without the next time and see how it goes then. Cari, do you stitch in the ditch on the front part of your quilt ? or is it a blanket stitch?
