The binder is used to apply commercial
binding as well as self-fabric bias to an
unfinished edge.
This colourful trim is attractive when
applied to children’s wear, aprons and
fabric furnishings. It is a practical finish
for seam edges that ravel and for making
bound seams. 37
Inserting the Binding
Pre-folded commercial bias binding is
inserted from the right into the outside
slot of the binder scroll,
• Cut the binding diagonally to
form a long point.
• Insert the pointed
end into the slot
and pull through
the scroll until
the evenly fold­
ed
edges are
under the needle.
Self-fabric bias binding should be cut
wide on the true bias.
• Insert the unfolded
binding directly
into the two
folds at the end
of the scroll and
draw it back
under the needle.
As the binding
passes through the
scroll the raw edges
are turned in.
