Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 13mm, 20mm, and 25mm binder attachments?

The difference is the width of pre-folded bias tape each attachment accommodates. The 20mm Binder Attachment #87 is designed for 20mm wide pre-folded bias tape and creates a 9.5mm finished binding width. The 13mm and 25mm versions work with those respective tape widths and create different finished widths. Choose based on the bias tape width you plan to use most often.

Do I need a special foot to use this binder attachment?

Yes, this binder attachment requires BERNINA Binder Foot #95 or #95C to function properly. The attachment and foot work together as a system—the attachment guides the bias tape while the foot holds it in place during sewing. The binder foot is sold separately.

Will this attachment work on my BERNINA machine?

The 20mm Binder Attachment #87 is compatible with BERNINA 5.5mm and 9mm stitch width machines. This includes many models in the 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 series as well as bernette models with BERNINA compatibility. Check the compatible machines list on this page to confirm your specific model is supported.

Can I use this attachment for making my own bias tape or only pre-folded tape?

This attachment is designed specifically for pre-folded bias tape that is already creased. If you want to make and apply your own bias binding from flat fabric strips, you would need a different BERNINA binder attachment designed for unfolded bias tape, which folds the fabric as it's sewn.

What types of projects is this binder attachment best suited for?

This attachment excels at any project requiring finished edges with bias binding, including quilt binding, garment necklines and armholes, placemats, table runners, aprons, and home décor items like pillow edges and curtains. It's particularly useful for quilters who bind multiple projects and want consistent, professional results with less hand-guiding of the fabric.
