Members Leese Posted May 3, 2014 Members Report Posted May 3, 2014 Hi! I joined this forum a few months ago after buying a Consew 228r high lift post machine and experimenting with it...here are some of my first designs. I have others, similar style different materials. Now I am trying a new tote bag pattern and want to add piping. Since this machine came with just a roller foot, my attempts to sew piping between two layers is not working...is there a piping foot I can buy and install as needed? Thank you! Quote

Members benlilly1 Posted May 3, 2014 Members Report Posted May 3, 2014 Very nice bags! I know you have a Consew but Sailrite has videos sewing piping. I don't know if the piping foot is interchangable but it might be something to look at. I've enjoyed their videos at www.sailrite.com Quote
Members Leese Posted May 28, 2014 Author Members Report Posted May 28, 2014 Benlilly1 - Thank you for the suggestion - loved the video and am happy to know I am doing my piping properly on my home machine Used it to make this bag - it is of vinyl though (the piping is garment grade leather)...still fiddling with ideas on how to make leather bag on the roller machine - I must call the dealer to see if there is a foot I can change out! and of course, try making a larger seam allowance so the roller foot will grab the layers and I can position the needle close to the cording. Okay, back to thread tension research! Leese Quote
