with this binder makes it useful for a large variety

for making children's wear, lingerie, summer dresses,
and other dainty articles which call for the nar-
rower bindings.

As two different widths of binding of contrasting
color can be fed through the binder at the same
time, attractive binding and piping effects can be
produced in one operation.
To Attach the Binder
Raise the needle to its highest position, then at-
tach the binder to the presser bar in place of the
presser foot.
See that the needle enters the center of the
needle hole.
To Insert the Binding
In the Binder
Cut all binding to a long point
to the left, as shown in Fig. 45.
Folded bias binding must be
inserted in the slot or slots of cor-
responding sizes. See Fig. 48.
Unfolded or raw edge bias
binding must be inserted in the
open end of the scroll. See
Fig. 46.
After inserting the pointed end of the binding in
the binder, push it through until the full width of
the binding is under the needle.
Guide the binding by means of the two upright
pins, as shown in Figs. 46 and 48.
