Singer 211g 166

[Omer]

Good evening 

i have a singer 211 g 166, I’m looking at putting a binding attachment, there’s holes already on my flat bed, can anyone tell me what binding attachment would fit the holes that are already there if it’s possible.

thanks

For mounting binding attachment to that singer model, and other similar . I always mount them to the right-inside slide plate .

Do you know which one would bolt on without drilling holes?

I have never used one without drilling and tapping somewhere . Drilling and thread tapping a machine bed is really easy,  and even 12 year old Chinese girl working in sweatshop for a bowl of rice and pack of Marlboro's with a R-angle drill and t-handle Tap does it fast and right .

I doubt you find any sold retail that are mass produced to match holes on the bed of that machine . You will end-up drilling and tapping for a binder where ever you choose, just for the fact of getting the binder hardware in proper positioning to feed correctly . Most I see, all the usual generic straight and 90 deg. binding attachment sold have mounting base on the R-side of the feed and throat anyway for mounting.
For mounting Seam binder to that machine, the most preferred/desirable position is on R-side on that slide plate . and also you can simply just slide that binder off when not needed to change to another attachment, or remove binder by just sliding it off, and put another plain flat slide-plate on and keep bed clean to sew like usual .
.
Side-Plate mount that seam bind attachment . Front mounting any attachment items is best done with a front slide-plate. most of the old singers 112/211 211/212 and the current copies have the front slide-plates .
( Here are couple quick pic's )  old singer/new juki, as this about the usual average everyday working binder for seam bind . Also is example of the common ( front slide-plate ) that is used to mount different attachments .
