Installing a Stationary Binder
1.
Attach the binder to the sewing machine
by inserting the two screws (each
with a washer)
D
through the binder slot
C
into the two holes in the bed of
the machine
F
. Angle the binder slightly toward the presser foot to better
feed the binding under the foot. Screw placement in the binder slot will vary
from machine to machine.
2.
Position the narrow end of the binder
G
as close as possible to the foot
assembly without touching the foot or the feed dog using the two screws
next to the feeder mouth
A
. Typically, the narrow end of the feeder mouth is
right at the front edge of the needle plate slot opening
H
. The binder should
not come into contact with the foot or feed dog when sewing.
3.
If using an Ultrafeed LSZ-1,
set the needle position lever in the “Right”
position.
4.
J
Feed proper-sized binding
into the wide end of the feeder mouth and use
a screwdriver blade to pull the binding completely through the slot. Sew off
a small portion of binding to test stitch position.
If presser foot rubs against feeder ledge
B
to get the correct stitch position,
remove the feeder ledge with a dremel tool or hack saw.
5.
K
Insert the raw fabric edge
that needs binding into the crease of the
binding as it exits the binder mouth. Feed the material tightly into the crease
of the binding and sew for a perfectly finished edge.
