Re: Teach Yourself to Sew 2: Two Great Seam Finishes
Sadly "Seams Great" wider than 5/8" is no longer available. It hasn't been for a number of years. The 5/8" width is too narrow for any fabric other than fine cottons and quilt fabrics. It is my favorite seam finish for anything other than unlined jackets (where I use the Hong Kong seam finish) so I have resorted to cutting my own bias 15 denier nylon tricot to get the knit strips wide enough for wools and other thicker fabrics.

Thanks for forcing me to update my profile! And thanks for the tutorial on the bias tape maker!

I'm sure it is a zig zag foot for a straight stitch machine. It works just like the old Greist Buttonholer. The grooved bottom of the foot acts like a gripper on the fabric, and the needle arm moves the forked lever up and down which causes the foot to slide the fabric back and forth over the throat plate. I could have used one of these for all the years I worked on a straight stitch machine!
