Sometimes It's Good To Be In a Bind.
Bias binding tape (often just called bias tape) gives a professional finish to all kinds of sewing projects. You can use it on garments, blankets and quilts, accessories, and a host of home décor items. Pre-folded bias tape is readily available at the fabric store, which is certainly convenient. But if you want a specific color or pattern as an accent, you can easily cut and make your own and then attach it with the Janome Binder Foot on your sewing machine.
This optional presser foot is equipped with a small funnel to fold and guide the binding over the fabric edge before it reaches the sewing machine needle. It can be used with either a narrow zigzag or a straight stitch, and will handle from 10mm to 14mm bias tape. All the folding and feeding may sound complicated, but just watch our short video and you'll see how easy this foot is to use. It fits most Janome sewing machines.
Sew4Home (where Janome is the Signature Sponsor) also has a good tutorial for making and attaching bias binding.
