Pfaff 335 binding attachment on Seiko CW-8b(consew 227)

[Mark842]

I'm curious to see what you got and how it works also. I have a Suisei Top Bottom double fold that I use with my Cobra 4. Works great with canvas and vinyl. Hasn't worked too good with leather as it can't handle the thickness.

It's been sitting on the shelf waiting for me to put on my gee whiz hat and rebuild it to handle 2 oz...Unless I can find one that will out of the box for a reasonable price.

This is the binder. It's a 7/8 and is on a swing away bracket. I'm anxious to try it. Have been for the last two weeks or so since I got it. But I messed up and bought a lemon of a machine.

As a follow-up to my earlier post, I ordered a sample of the KHF48 binder kit made by Kwok Hing (retails for around $65 including the tape folder). It fits nicely on my Singer 153W102, so there's a good chance it might also fit a Consew 227 (but it didn't fit my Juki 341 or DA 269). Here are some pictures of the KHF48 installed on the SInger 153W102:

Man that is nice. I'm happy with mine from Atlanta attachment but that price on the kwok hing is awesome. Do you sell any hem attachments? I have a consew 206rb I may try and set up for hemming heavy canvas.

Hemming folders come in two styles. Turn up and turn down. The turn up are the easiest to use, but your outside of the hem ends up with the bobbin thread. It can be more challenging to make it look good on canvas. Turn down folders create beautiful hems, but have a steeper learning curve. What ever you decide, make sure the folder is big enough to handle any seams you'll need to cross. A way around that is to use a swing away mount to pull it out of the folder in order to cross a seam. As a general rule, I always mount hemming folders on swing away mounts. When ordering, specify the desired finished width and the turn under amount. On a typical 1" folder, you'd typically specify the turn under amount as half the finished size. So for a 1" hem, your turn under would be a 1/2". That means you'd need to add 1 1/2" to your desired finished project size.
