Edge Binding using flatbed folder on cylinder bed

[kgg]

I figured I share how I finish the edge binding using a cylinder bed with regular folders made for flatbed machines. This way I can without any mechanical changes to the machine share binders from my flatbeds with the cylinder bed otherwise I would probably have to buy a new needle plate, presser foot, cover arm and use 90 angled folders at about $200 CA. 

Equipment:

i) Kobe LS-1341 10" cylinder bed

ii) V138 top and bottom thread

iii) Mini 8" x 8" mini flatbed conversion table

iv) 3/4" (19mm) raw edge binder made for flatbed machines which is inexpensive less then $20 CA

The photos show 3/4" (19mm) edging on 3mm thick material, not perfect finish but will stop fraying.

All comments welcomed.

Stay Safe,

THANK YOU for your pictures. I honestly did not know how I could achieve this clean end when binding (the in folded tape I mean). Usually my "binding tape end" is folded over by 1/2" or so and bar tacked and I rarely need this "fold in end" but now that I see it it its obvious but I honestly had no idea.  Tried it and it works with my cheap binders and thick cotton tape . Ha Ha - again - Thank you.

Thanks Constabulary,

It is a nice trick to stop the fraying of the binding material and give that clean finish. If you want folded ends at both the beginning and ending of your binding run, where you have both ends of the binding run butted together rather then overlapped, you would fold the starting end of the binding in as well.

Nice. I have the same machine. Thank you
