I am a beginner/intermediate quilter. The only way I've sewn binding on a quilt is to see the binding on the top and hand stitch on the back. I've never used the walking foot for this. If you use a decorative stitch do you see the binding on the back with a straight stitch and then use the decorative stitch on the top, or do you see both sides at once?

Just a thought... I have met people like that and decided to take advantage of their knowledge. I asked for their help, complimented their work and spent time with them. In all cases it was my gain...in knowledge and in new friends ! Often such a persona is just their way of dealing with their own discomfort.
As I said just a thought!

I have used my walking foot with my Bernina 1031(new 1992), it has the wide slot in the foot, so quilting with the serpentine stitch has never been a problem.

I think she's full of hooey. It's the needle that moves from side to side & that has no effect on the walking foot UNLESS the opening is not wide enough to accommodate this movement. I have had a Bernina 820, several Singers & I now have a Husqvarna Viking Designer EPIC & I have done this with all of the walking feet & have never had an issue with any of them. I also know someone who thinks she knows everything also & trust me, they don't. No one knows everything but it's very seldom that anyone challenges them so they continue with their behaviour.

I checked this out with my son who is a Bernina Tech (for 31years) he said it does not harm the walking foot to sew "fancy stitches" only don't do reverse with the walking foot , not good for it ,that was a good question as I didn't give it another thought to not sew fancy stitches. Cathy
