Members dikman Posted February 16, 2020 Members Report Posted February 16, 2020 Now I know why the inner foot is such a peculiar shape! When I bought my 335 I fitted conventional feet as I didn't need a binder and I always wondered about that inner foot. Thanks for the excellent photos jimi.

Members dikman Posted February 17, 2020 Members Report Posted February 17, 2020 This has got me thinking that maybe I should change it back to a binding machine.

As Folker said, the corners are the hard ones because if you don´t get in near to the foot then you end up off the tape on a tight corner, so maybe don´t try it on a bag without trying to do some practice corners first. And also you might need another screw to hold the bracket at the back as the tape could pull the tip in towards the foot?? just a thought... Updating you. I ordered a binder from zamirsew.net. Just arrived and I put it on the machine and success! Now I can practice and get this bag made finally. My husband cut off the excess on my foot so I didn’t have to buy another setup. Thanks for all of you guys help. Quote

Members hmblhands Posted May 1 Members Report Posted May 1 I have the same machine from looks like the same company (Emblem in ATL) I found this post by coincidence - looking for bobbin case info. Did you ever get your machine figured out? I just wanted mine for topstitching purses and sewing some leather bags. Haven’t done much more than a try out as I needed a bobbin winder (cant get the one on it to make a nice tight bobbin of thread) so I just got an electric one. Anywho, would love to hear your experience! Quote
Members hmblhands Posted May 2 Members Report Posted May 2 Me again, could you please share a pic of your bobbin case for that machine? Thank you!! This is what is in my machine, assuming it’s a replacement of original one. Quote
