    Default DP jeans

    This quilt was a UFO because it needed the binding stitched. I recently acquired an industrial Bernina990 from someone that had only used it 10 hours. 1,000 stitches per minute made the (usually tedious) job of stitching the binding finish up in no time. That job alone is worth what I paid. This is the second quilt that I've binded (bound?) with this intimidating motorized machine. I was less nervous. I'm getting the hang of it.

    Isn't it great to have good, sturdy equipment to use?

    Sweet quilt!

    I use this foot for attaching bindings to the back of the quilt with my Juki industrial - it shoves the top side of the binding aside and stitches so close that the stitches almost disappear when the binding relaxes.

    After attaching the binding to the front, I press it over to the back and glue it with Elmer's School Glue Sticks, making sure to cover the stitches from the sewing-on. You have to slow down as you approach the corner and maybe sew with the hand wheel for a stitch or two, to get the needle positioned for the next side.

    I always loved hand-binding, but now, I just want to get them DONE. This foot feels like magic.
