Often you can make a blanket look almost
new by replacing the binding. The honeycomb
stitch is particularly suitable because it com­
bines utility with beauty.
1. Make a sample first to determine the cor­
rect stitch width and length setting.
Reduce pressure (on pressuredial) and in­
crease stitch length if necessary, so that
blanket feeds freely. See page 22 for In­
structions on adjusting stitch length.
2. Remove worn binding and caste new bind­
ing securely in place.
3. Stitch, and remove basting.
The even feed foot which can be purchased at
your Singer Sewing Center is most suitable
for this application, it ensures smooth feeding
and prevents fabric slippage.
