SEWING BIAS BINDER Binding with bias tape is a ve
ry easy way to give fabric edges a smooth and neat appearance. You will need unfolded bias tape 24 mm (scant 1”) wide. 1. Remove the presser foot. Attach the Bias Binder. 2. Cut the beginning of the bias tape at a diagonal. 3. Feed the tape into the scroll of the binder and pull out to the back. 4. Adjust the binder and/or the needle position so that the needle pierces the fabric approximately 1 - 1.5 mm (1/16 inch) from the folded edge of the bias tape. 820245096 A B C D E F G J K L The automatic needle threader cannot be used on Group L machines. 5. Stitch about 25 mm (1 inch) along the Bias Tape. 6. Insert the edge of the fabric to be bound between the Bias Tape edges into the slot of the binder. The Bias Tape will enclose the raw edge automatically during sewing. TIP: Using a zigzag or fancy stitch will give you even more of a decorative effect. UTILITY ACCESSORIES ROLLED HEM FOOT Hemming prevents the edges from fraying and results in a clean, durable edge. With the Rolled Hem Foot, you can hem light to medium weight fabrics for clothing and home decorating items without having to pre-iron the fabric edges. 1. Select a straight stitch, snap on the Rolled Hem Foot and engage IDT™ system (if available on your machine). If needed, press only the beginning of the hem to 2, 3 or 4 mm wide, depending on the size of your foot. Place it flat in the groove under the foot and sew a few stitches. Lower the needle into the fabric to hold it in place. Raise the presser foot and pull the cut edge of the fabric into the scroll of the hemmer. Lower the foot and continue sewing while holding the cut edge up in front of the foot. 820220096 B C D E F G J K L 2 mm 820249096 B C D E F G J K L 3 mm, for IDT™ system 820221096 B C D E F G J K L 4 mm, for IDT™ system 2.
