Bias tape binder
Binding with bias tape is a very easy
method of giving fabric edges a smooth
and neat appearance. For this you need
unfolded bias tape about 1
ß
(24 mm) wide.
• Remove the presser foot and holder. At-
tach the bias binder.
• Cut the beginning of the bias tape at a
diagonal.
• Feed the tape into the scroll of the
binder and pull out to the back.
• Adjust the binder and/or the needle
position so that the needle pierces the
fabric approximately 1/16
ß
(1-1.5 mm)
from the folded edge of the bias tape.
• Stitch about 1
ß
(2.5 cm) along the bias
tape.
• Insert the edge of the fabric to be bound
between the bias tape edges into the
slot of the binder. The bias tape will en-
close the raw edge automatically during
sewing.
Tip:
You can obtain an additional deco-
rative effect by using a zigzag or fancy
stitch.
Ruf
Á
er
With the ruf
Á
er you can make closely or
widely spaced pleats automatically while
sewing. This is very useful for ruf
Á
es, frills,
home textiles, etc.
The ruf
Á
er can be used in three different
ways:
1. Folding and securing pleats in fabric.
2. Folding pleats in fabric and securing to
a second fabric in one operation.
3. Folding pleats in fabric, attaching lace
and securing to another fabric in one
operation.
When you buy the ruf
Á
er from your
PFAFF dealer, full operating instructions
are included.
