 Or you can make your own tape holder using a cone thread stand. You will also need a giant straw, the kind that my child 'had to have' in Disneyland because it went through Cinderella'​s body, and I worried how I was going to keep this clean and finally, it proves to be useful. LOL Then pick a cone, preferably full, 5000m and upside down to provide as wide a base as possible. Now put a CD on top to provide a smooth base for the reel to unwind on. Make sure to put the tape so it unwinds counterclockwise with the wrong side facing you. Or you can make your own tape holder using a cone thread stand.

 I am sharing some differences form my experience between binding on the Babylock Coverstitch and the Janome 2000CPX. If your experience is different and you are happy with the results, just ignore this. I am sharing some differences form my experience between binding on the Babylock Coverstitch and the Janome 2000CPX.

 On my Babylock I get the best results using the left and center needle. When positioning the binder, I pull some of the binding through and position it under the presser foot and I lower the needles by hand. Only then do I screw the binder firmly in place. The Babylock has 2 holes in the bed of the machine and most generic binders can be screwed on without extra accessories.  ​ On my Babylock I get the best results using the left and center needle.

 When inserting the tape, it can be woven through the rake, either using all the teeth or just 1 or 2. This will put more or less tension on the binding resulting in a more gathered or more relaxed edge.  When inserting the tape, it can be woven through the rake, either using all the teeth or just 1 or 2.

 On my Janome 2000CPX I get the best results using the center and right needle with the adjustable seam guide keeping the binding from wandering off to the right. Thanks Rebecca for this great idea!! On my Janome 2000CPX I get the best results using the center and right needle with the adjustable seam guide keeping the binding from wandering off to the right.

 +Here the differential is also set at 1.5 and for a neckline this doesn'​t look too bad. It is still gathering somewhat though so reducing the differential to 1.3 will give a more relaxed edge.

 +The fabric moves freely into the binding. If for some reason changing the differential does not solve the unwanted gathering, you can always gently hold the fabric back so it feeds into the binding at a lower rate.

 + 
 +And here I have reduced the differential to 0.75 and this time there is virtually no gathering. Every case is different so testing is a must. Some binding is very loose and some may be very tight so the settings may require some tweaking. Sometimes cutting the binding tape 1mm wider or narrower makes it move differently through the binder. So be prepared to sacrifice some binding when you start playing with this accessory!!
