The multi-slotted binder is used to apply com­
mercial binding as well as self-fabric bias to an un­
finished edge. This colourful trimming is attractive
when applied to children's wear, aprons and house­
hold linens. It is a practical finish for seam edges
that fray and for making bound seams.
Commercial single fold bias tape is inserted from
the right into the slot at the wide end of the scroll.
Unfolded bias
wide is inserted into the open­
ing at the end of the scroll.
Cut binding diagonally and pull through the
scroll until evenly folded edges are under the
needle. Free length of binding is held between the
guide pins.
Insert the edge to be bound into the centre of
the scroll. Position stitching by moving the scroll
portion of the binder to the right or left by means
of the adjusting lug.
