T O B I N D O U T S I D E C U R V E S
Allow edge to be bound to pass freely through
scroll without crowding against scroll wall.
The material must be guided from back of
binder and to left, permitting unfinished edges
to swing naturally into scroll of binder.
Never pull binding while it is being fed
through binder, as this may stretch binding,
making it too narrow to stitch or to turn in
edges.
When binding curves, turn material only as
fast as machine sews.
Do not push material in too fast as this will
pucker the edge.
Do not stretch material as this will distort
edge so that curve will not have proper shape
when finished.
If stitching does not catch edge of binding,
adjust scroll slightly to left.

When binding an inside curve, straighten out
inside edge of material while feeding it into
binder, being careful not to stretch material.
Soft materials like batiste or crepe de chine
require a row of stitching added close to edge
of curve before binding.

Place material under binder and stitch binding

For guidance in applying rows of French
folds, mark material with a line of basting
stitches or with chalk or pencil.
