I am not familiar with the Juki LZH-1290 machine but as long as the bed has the holes to accept attachments located to the right and centered to the right of the needle you should be a able to use a binding attachment. Using 3/4 inch binding tape would probably be best done with the zig zag set to zero ( 0 ) so the machine is being used as a straight stitch machine. If I'm not mistaken this is a drop feed machine. The question I have is why the Juki LZH-1290 rather then a 1541S or even a 1181N or is the zig zag feature an important need? kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
