Bias Binder Foot
Part Number: 40080954
HZL-F600/F400/F300
The Bias Tape Binder snap-on foot allows for bias tape to be easily added to finish an edge. This versatile foot can also be used to create button loops, frog closures, and is a great construction tool for reversible garments.
|
The spiral cone on this foot wraps the bias tape (pre-folded or not) neatly around the edge of the fabric.
Straight stitch patterns are generally used to with this presser foot, but decorative patterns can be used to create a unique effect.
|
1. Attach the bias binder to the presser foot holder.
2. Guide one end of the bias tape into one of the five slots on the foot, based on the width of the tape. Figure 1
A tape width of 2.2mm should go into the largest slot on the foot.
3. Pull the tape from the inside of the guide, using a sharp instrument, such as tweezers or a stiletto. Place the tape behind the presser foot. Figure 2
Check that both sides of the tape are folded completely inside, when the tape is pulled behind the presser foot.
4. Adjust the needle position so that the needle is stitching through the bias tape.
If the needle position cannot be changed, use the screw on the foot to adjust the cone to the right or to the left, as needed. Figure 3
5. Begin sewing at a slow to medium speed, gently guiding the tape to keep it properly aligned with the fabric.

TIPS: To more easily maneuver fabric into the cone, use the points of the tweezers or a stiletto and gently push the fabric into the cone.
Clipping the corner of the tape at a 45 degree angle can make tape insertion, into the cone easier. |
