Installing a Swing Binder
1.
Attach the binder to the sewing machine
by inserting the two screws with
the washer
D
through the binder slot
C
(not the 3 holes above the slot) into
the two holes in the bed of the machine
F
. Screw placement in the binder
slot will vary from machine to machine.
2.
Adjust the feeder mouth
A
from left to right using the large thumb screw
E
and from front to back using the two screws next to the feeder mouth.
Position the binder as close as possible to the foot assembly without
touching the foot or the feed dog
G
. 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 the 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 feeder mouth. Feed the material tightly into the crease
of the binding and sew for a perfectly finished edge.
