Can Singer 45k25 use for binding work

[Parfektionisto]

I found a singer 45k25 locally and I'm wondering if this machine can do binding work?

I have not tried it but there is some sort of special binding attachment for these machines. This is an extract from an Adler 5 manual which is pretty much the same machine as the 45K. It shows the attachment in use. So if the 45K25 comes with he attachment plate right of the needle plate you could use this attachment. Singer shows a similar attachment in their 45K25 parts list

Thanks Jimi & Constabulary, seems like the binding attachment is not easy to find and not easy to use. Jimi, did you use your k21 with treadle or servo? Do you think slower speed will help with binding?

Treadle power tony,  and the slower the better (at least for me).

I thought so too, that's why I'm trying to find a treadle base. Even with the modern binder I also have to slow down when sewing corners.
