THE BINDER
The binder is used to apply commercial
binding as well as self-fabric bias to an
unfinished edge.
This colorful trim is attractive when
applied to children’s wear, aprons and
household textiles. It is a practical finish
for seam edges that ravel and for making
bound seams.
Inserting the Binding
Pre-folded commercial bias tape is
inserted from the right into slot of the
binder scroll.
• Cut the binding diagonally to form a
long point.
• Insert pointed end
into slot and pull
through scroll.
Self-fabric binding
should be cut
wide on the true
bias.
• Insert unfolded binding
directly into opening at end
of scroll and
pull through.
As binding passes through scroll raw
edges are turned in.

Adjustment and Operation
of the Binder
The edge to be bound is guided
into center of scroll. Stitching is
positioned close to edge of binding
by adjusting scroll portion of at
tachment.
• Loosen adjusting screw. Move
scroll to the right or left as neces-
sary.
Be sure that screw is well tight
ened after making an adjustment.
Never pull binding as it feeds
through scroll. Allow attachment to
do the work. Merely guide edge to
be bound well into center of scroll
as you stitch.
