of the Binder and to the left, allowing unfinished
edges to swing naturally into the scroll of the Binder.
Never pull the binding as it feeds through the
Binder, as bias material is very easily stretched and
will be too narrow when it reaches the needle. When
this occurs the edges will not be turned.
When binding a curved edge (see Fig. 44), turn
the material only as fast as the machine sews. It is
not possible to hold the material in the entire length
of the scroll when binding a small curve.
Do not push the material in too fast, as the edge
will then become puckered, and do not stretch the
material or the curve will not be the proper shape
when finished. If the stitching does not catch the
edge of the binding, the scroll should be adjusted
a trifle to the left.
Binding Inside Curves
It will be necessary to practice binding an inside
curve on various kinds of material, as this curve is
found on nearly all garments which may be finished
with a bound edge.
When binding an inside curve with the Binder,
straighten out the edge as it is being fed into the
attachment. When doing this, care should be taken
not to stretch the edge of the material.
If the material is soft, like batiste or crepe de
chine, add a row of machine stitching close 'to the
edge of the curve before binding.
