< Videos, Instructional DVDs and Written Directions <

Our new videos as well as written directions can be accessed in several ways:

If you received the 2007 single DVD with your product, the videos can be played on your home computer through your DVD drive. Just follow the written directions that accompanied the product or use the directions below.

If you have access to the internet, you can view all but one video directly from our website. Look for the links below for the specific product.

< Stitch -n- Ditch Binding Foot and Zip Bind System DVD and Written Directions <

If you have purchased the Stitch-n-Ditch Binding Foot and Zip Bind System recently, you received a single DVD that contains new videos. These videos are designed to run on your computer DVD. The DVD also contains directions written in MS Word with hot links that launch the individual videos from your DVD so you don't need to access the internet.

If you are have any problem viewing the videos, try the following:

1. Ensure that your computer has a DVD drive and not just a CD drive. A drive that is CD only will not let you view the files on the DVD.

2. If the video stops abruptly, look at the play time on the particular video. (Some of the videos seem to end in the middle of a sentence but it is actually the end and you can start the next video.)

3. If the video locks up and won't play, restart your computer and shut any other programs down. Because the videos are quite large, they need as much computer memory as possible to run.

< New Stitch-n-Ditch Binding Videos on YouTube <

All but one of the Stitch-Ditch Binding Foot & Zip Bind System Videos on the DVD have been posted on the internet.

To view them, here is the link - www.youtube.com/lindavideos.

Scroll about 1/2 way down and click on, "See All 15 Videos".
The 1st video from the DVD was too large to post on YouTube but all of the other videos have been posted.
The videos were designed to go hand in hand with the written directions. "Part 2: Step by Step" provides directions in the order that you would actually complete the steps and references the video that you'll watch at that time.
The Video Chart provides a description of each video and the order that they should be viewed.
You'll notice that some of the videos are blurry. Because these video files were large, they had to be posted at a lower resolution. The videos on the DVD are much clearer.
If you have dial-up, most likely you will not be able to view the videos on-line. If you can find a way to download them to a DVD, they can played on a DVD player attached to your TV.

< Stitch-n-Ditch Binding Foot - 'Top 10' Product of the Year 2007 Award <

Nancy Zieman, who many of you know from her 25 years on TV, and as a quilter, instructor and through her web store, Nancy's Notions, selected our Stitch in the Ditch Binding Foot as one of her 'Top 10' Products of the Year for 2007!

<Zip Bind System Named #1 Product of 2004 for All Quilting Notions and Accessories <

Quilter's Review, the best quilting web resource, has chosen Martelli's Zip Bind System as the Best Notion/Accessory tool of the year. Click here to read the review. We've always known that the Zip Bind System wasthe fastest and easiest way to sew perfect bindings and mitered corners but it's nice to see that quilting experts agree. And now that our new Stitch in the Ditch Binding Foot is available, your bindings will be even better. Combine the two products to attach bindings by hand or stitch-in-the-ditch. Beautiful, consistent bindings - now even faster and easier!

< Introducing the new 3/8" Binding Adapter for the Kwik Bind <

So many of you have been asking for it, so we're pleased to finally annouce the 3/8" Binding Adapter for the Kwik Bind. With this new adapter, you now have the option of using a 5/8" or 3/8" binding on your quilting or sewing projects. If you've already purchased the Kwik Bind, the 3/8" Adapter is available for a $50 purchase. This includes everything you need to attach to your current Kwik Bind. If you don't already own the Kwik Bind, it now comes with both 5/8" and 3/8". Both offerings contain detailed instructions through a video CD as well as printed directions containing pictures. Contact our office by e-mail or phone 850-433-1414 to order yours today!

< Attention Bernina Users<

If you're a Bernina owner, in the past you've had to use a low shank adapter purchased from Bernina as well as our #1 adapter to use our Kwik Bind, Curve Master or Stitch in the Ditch Binder Foot.

Now there is a "new & improved" option. Bernina now offers a Snap On Foot that lets you literally 'snap-on' our feet as well as many other non-Bernina feet. The foot doesn't actually contain a 'foot' but has a snap on mechanism and is recognizable by it's red button that acts a release button.

If you have a newer, 3 digit machine (ex:180, 440), you'll use Bernina's Shank #125. The Part # that you'll use to order this is 006082.73.00.

If you've got a 4 digit (ex:1530) or an older 3 digit machine (970) you'll use the Shank #1008 Snap On. The Part # that you'll use to order this is 006261.70.00.

The price is typically $20 - $24.

Talk to your Bernina dealer or authorized dealer to purchase.

Thank you for your business and support!
