Side Cutter Sewing Machine Foot Attachment
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Compatible-C...op?ie=UTF8#Ask I have been looking at this attachment for my machine because I really do not want a Serger machine as the only overlocking that I do is on my quilts, before putting the the binding on. I always do it as I like the finish it gives but there is one little niggle that really get to me and that is the odd threads etc. that is left, I have tried snipping these off but on practically every occasion I snip the wrong thread and the stitching is undone!
I have googled How to use a side cutter foot and found some good tuitions but they are shown on relatively thick fabrics which is not what I want to do, does anyone have one of these attachments and as anyone got some pros n cons on them, BTW price is not a problem as I have found a compatible one at only £8/$12

I purchased a side cutter made by Brother to use on a Brother NX450Q. It did not work well and I returned it. I found others have had the same experience with the side cutter, it does not work well for most applications.
I think you're stating that you currently zigzag the edges of the quilt before applying the binding. Instead of zigzagging, you could straight stitch sew, 1/8 inches from the edge of the quilt.

Thanks that sorts it out for me, I only would want it for the quilts so it won't work for me, thanks for your input.
