Speaking of feet..

I find gadgets of all kinds almost irresistible so I recently got one. Unfortunately I haven't had it long enough to try it out. But I will happily report back when I do.

It looks complicated - maybe that's why I have put off trying it lol

Hi Kate - I hadn't heard about this particular binding foot so I googled it!

I followedlinks from the Martelli info page and found an instruction documentwhich explained it all but also this link to a video demonstration. Ihope that this helps you decide whether you want to give it a try.Bernina machines do also need the purchase of adaptor foot fromBernina but it seems that the kit contains the required attachmentsfor other machines. I don't know how fiddlely it will turn out to bein 'real life' and the corners have to be handstitched when everythingelse is finished (a 10" length of thread is left at each cornersection for this purpose) and the video also doesn't mention how theends of the binding are joined - probably needs hand work too.jennellh
