    What a perfect time to purchase the awesome binder attachment and presser foot!

    There are 6 different binder attachments. All 6 are different sizes and 3 are prefolded to better suite your sewing needs. The Binder attachment comes in: 13mm prefolded, 20mm prefolded, 25mm prefolded, 28mm, 32mm and 38mm prefolded. The presser foot is available for 5mm and 9mm machines.

    There are more possibilities than just abounding on a quilt that you can use these wonderful attachments. Casey has a few samples hanging in the store showing what you can do. A few years ago Casey made an Elsa dress for one of her granddaughters and she used the attachment for the binding on the neckline!

    Don’t forget, we are here to always help you with your presser feet and attachments. Our goal is to always make sure you love and know how to use your accessories.
