ZigZag Report post Posted January 26, 2023 Hi all, I want to add a raw edge, single fold, bias binder attachment to my Juki1508. There appears to only be a single threaded hole in the sliding bobbin cover plate and 2 threaded holes closer to the front edge of the bed. Is there a particular style or make of binder I should be looking out for. I’m based in the UK Thanks Nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoepatcher Report post Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) You want to order a binding plate that will fit the 1508. That will allow you to tap and screw the raw edge binder down to it. It has a raised platform to drill and tap screws into. Make sure your screw are flush with the underside of the slide plate. If they hang down, grind them off to flush with bottom. Tennessee Attachment makes on with part # 455-1508-1. However, you are in the UK. College Sewing may be able to get you a raised plate. You may need a new feed dog, throat plate, feet for binding as well. glenn Edited January 26, 2023 by shoepatcher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) We sell alot of these arms part#226292 to people to mount the binders with.It fastens in the tapped hole in the middle of the bed with 1-screw.We also put a tack weld on the backside to keep it from pivoting since this bracket only has 1 screw to hold the binder.

Thanks cowboy Bob, they have these at college sewing so will try this and see how I get on. Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. 1 hour ago, shoepatcher said: You want to order a binding plate that will fit the 1508. That will allow you to tap and screw the raw edge binder down to it.

Beanwood Report post Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) I need to do something similar from time to time - but also need to move the folder out of the way - so use a magnetic guide - effectively it's a couple of strong magnets on a bar. Sailrite sells one - but like you I'm in the UK, so made my own. I've just checked and someone on E bay sells them in UK if that helps (Go for the 6" long to give a better guide) FORGET THIS - I've just re-read the OP, and you want to attach a folder, not an edge guide.... (Sorry ) Edited January 27, 2023 by Beanwood I answered the wrong question.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
