OK, here goes.

I will admit, it takes practice and I haven't finished a whole piece yet, but it is working. I will be sewing a bag this weekend after I mount the machine to another stand that will give me more clearance.

I cut out a mounting plate and drilled holes that allow me to mount the binder to the machine. I spent a while on the flat bed machine trying to get the hang of the binder. I also ended up grinding down some presser feet to get the binder closer to the needle. I like this presser foot setup for normal sewing too because I can see my work better.

Well, I am having trouble posting all the pictures, so please visit my album - http://imgur.com/a/YxgSZ

 

 

Hi BigMatt.  I am finally getting around to mounting the binding foot I bought.  I meant to ask you.... Did you have to replace the feed dogs and needle plate or did the ones that came with the machine work OK?  If you replaced them what did you use?

 

Thanks
