What a great idea!!! It's a must for travel and shopping, shopping when you think you might buy more than you planned!

Binder and binder foot
I have an 1130 which I purchased in 1988 and still love it. It does everything except embroider. I've decided it's cheaper to purchase iron-on appliques of all types. Now I want to purchase the binder (I thought in all 3 sizes) but found out each one is $300, plus the foot which is only $35. Has anyone ever purchased these binders and do you think they are worth it? Has anyone purchased a generic binder, which one, at what cost and how does it work? I really love the Bernina feet, but…See More

Tanya Taylor said… - I wanted to respond to you cross-stitch questions. When I work from a kit, the first thing I do is organize all my threads. When stitching, I always start from the middle of the pattern (and the fabric). As far as how to handle the threads on the back, my method is just to weave the threads in at the start and the end. Since you don't have to pull the threads tight, I don't leave more than one inch on the back. I start off by figuring out where I will start stitching, then on the back near this spot, I weave the thread through in one direction, then back upon itself. Then I start stitching. I finish the same way. Good luck!
