I have a rather amazing sewing machine, a Bernina 750QE, whom I've named Nina. The problem with Nina, though, is the cost of her presser feet. They can cost hundreds of dollars a piece, and I don't have hundreds of dollars. Worse than that, the Bernina bias binder attachment requires a special presser foot and also a separate bias binder attachment for each size of bias binding that you wish to sew. For three sizes of binding, you'd have to spend $1000! That's way to rich for my blood. Unfortunately, my bias binding skills are not what I'd like them to be. So imagine my surprise when I, er Santa, found a generic bias binder that's supposed to fit Nina, is adjustable, and cost less than $50 (taxes and shipping included)!
I haven't tried it out yet because today is, well, Christmas. I have children and a husband who have the idea that Christmas is for family. They expect a big turkey dinner with all the trimmings. What was I thinking?! I should have been much more proactive and raised them to understand that Nina is family too... I mean, they've accepted the dog, right?
Anyway, Merry Christmas to you! I hope you're all enjoying your holidays with the people you love.
