Members Keebz Posted August 3, 2015 Members Report Posted August 3, 2015 Can anyone point me in the right direction if there is even one for a binder attatchment for my consew 227r? I mostly do handbags and I could use one that will work with leather for certain bags. Thank you Quote
Members Yetibelle Posted August 3, 2015 Members Report Posted August 3, 2015 I think your going to need a Right Angle Binder/Folder attachment. You can search for an example on YouTube. I think it all depends on the seam you want and how thick the binding leather is? For thicker seams I would first glue and clamp it then just sew over it once it is set in-place.

Cobra Steve Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 You may have to find a custom attachment maker. Some industrial sewing machine stores have an attachment maker. You may also try Atlanta, New York or Tennessee attachments. Quote Thank You Steve Tayrien Leather Machine Co., Inc. 2141 E.

Members Keebz Posted August 4, 2015 Author Members Report Posted August 4, 2015 Thank you for the help guys. It's mostly for the very top of the bag around the opening like on the totes I make for our boutique. Wouldn't never be really thick material. I stay in the 2-4 oz range. Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted August 4, 2015 Moderator Report Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Most edge binder attachments are meant to fold cloth tape over about 1/16" of material. The so called bias tape is sold on huge reels that are meant to be mounted onto turntable supports on the right end of the table. Some are even mounted vertically. The cloth tape is very slick and flows smoothly through the body and mouth of the binder. Leather tape, if sticky, would probably grab along the way and muck things up. I suspect that you would have better luck sewing thin, non-sticky vinyl tape, or just heavy duty cloth tape over the edges (using a double fold binder). The actual attachment should be a complete conversion kit. It should include a special set of presser feet (left toe presser foot, wide inner foot, with a pebbled surface on the bottom), a special throat plate, matching inline feed dogs and a movable mounting bracket to attach the binder to the machine. Setting the right distance and angle of the mouth of the binder to the needle, in two planes, is important for best results.
