I received notice - that I had the TIP of the Day on Emblibrary today:

From Shrilene: If you are doing a lot of finished seams - use a edge joining foot. Do a fairly tight zig-zag stitch and then join the edges of the fabric with the foot, and a zig- zag stitch. Nice finished seams.

I hope this can help some of you in the future.

Good for you! Congratulations!

I've done that before... and it does make a nice finished seam.

I use my serger for that now.

Nice tip. The edge joining foot is something I use a lot, not only to join two fabrics together, but also to topstitch along a seam.
Congratulations, and happy choosing of a new design (or designs when they have specials)!

Thanks Martine - I already used it - on some specials before they went off - Hehehe!

I looked at the link and am thinking of doing the bindings on my quilts. Thanks for bringing my attention to this neat little foot.

Works really well. Sew it on regular to the front then fold it over to the back and "stitch in the ditch" with the edge joining foot - comes out nice and neat on the back side.

I am so glad that I was able to play a part in your quilt project - thanks *4U

Congrats! I have this foot for my machine. I think that I have several extra feet and attachments for my sewing machines that I forget to use or haven't even taken the time to learn what they are for. Thanks for the tip! Keep them coming!

Oh yes, this is one of my favorite feet. Bernina calls it Edge foot #10. I tend to use it for top stitching and stitch in the ditch. I think I was aware it attaches lace on edges also, but don't sew with lace much. It is great for sewing on bindings. you should take a photo of your work and we will see what you are using the foot for. A picture is worth a thousand words!!!
