Singer 201P - Advanced Binder Techniques; Binding Outside Curves

When binding curves, move scroll to
the left to bring inner edge of binding
farther from stitching and allow for
sweep or Curve.
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.
Piped Edge
To produce a piped edge on garments,
loosen screw B2, Fig. 49 and move
scroll to left to bring stitching about
midway of folded binding.
Crease raw edges of garment toward
wrong side about 1 inch, and insert
folded edge, raw edges uppermost, into
edge guide on binder and _ beneath
binding.
48
When stitched, both sides of garment
will be finished and right side will
show piped edge.
To Bind Outside Curves
Allow edge to be bound to pass freely
through scroll without crowding
against scroll wall. The material must
be guided from back of binder and to
left, permitting unfinished edges to
swing naturally into scroll of binder.

Never pull binding while it is being fed
ele binder, as this may stretch
binding, making it too narrow to stitch
or to turn in the edges.
