Techsew 5100 Binding attachment?

[Runzeigrun]

So I jump off the deep end and got a techsew 5100 without doing all the research. I wanted to get a binding attachment for this machine and they do not make it for this model. Is there a aftermarket brand that makes one that can be correctly used on the 5100 SE? If you have a link that would be great. Thank you in advance!!

Call Tenessee Attachment Co @ 800-251-5000 & tell them you have a Juki TSC-441 & they can make you one,they will also need a sample of the binding & thickness of leather your binding.

Please let us know how this works out regarding a custom binder for a 441 clone.

I plan on buying this synchronized binder for my Juki 441 for $138.30. I have bought other items from KHSEW and the build quality was excellent! They have a good selection of binders you can use on this attachment for various widths of binding material and and thicknesses of assemblies. It comes from Hong Kong but shipping was surprisingly fast. You will have to create an account before you can view prices.

Total price for everything on that kH binder system , synchro  Swingarm , raised Feed Dog , raised Needle Plate, and Binder . ( all shipped ) .  is just under 240-$
That is just a killer price for the quality of mechanics that I received . I seen that and I could not walk by and pass that up, had to get one and mount it up and check it out .

'Same here' .. Shipping is 'surprisingly' super fast speed pack, for me on W. Coast it was ringing my doorbell in about 5 days after a email notice sent .

I highly recommend to anyone on the fence and thinking about getting .. All hardware was true and correct in mounting . The Synchronized Swingarm mechanics, is about as simple as it gets, and works perfect . system is 'pin fit' and witnesses movement with the raised Feed Dog movement .

I saw this one, but ended up talking to the cowboy distributor and got a simple one they sell. If it doesnt work I will end up buying this one.

I did get a quote from them, but the cost right now for me was on the higher end. Maybe down the road. They definitely knew what they were doing just by the specific questions they asked. Will consider them for future purchases.

I bought this binding attachment and it's working well for straight runs but I'm having trouble getting it to go around curved material without bunching up the fabric and sewing off the edge of the binding. I made my own bias cut binding out of 10oz canvas and am also using webbing, same issues with not being able to turn a corner with a less than 3" radius, sill learning how to use it.

I need to bind a piece for a bag with a 1" radius and also tried to use a needle plate binder attachment for my P1206rb and had the same issues of not being able to turn a corner tight enough.

The binding tape type can make a world of difference here. Weave that goes straight across and looks like gross grain will work better. Try some leather instead as you may find it better.

You say your doing/Binding Canvas fabric . What is the thickness of the material you are feeding into that 441 Binder  ?
also what size thread you using on that canvas ?
Can you post a Pic, of the 'bunching' problem you get ? .

did you buy the feet offered/supplied by KH on their 441 setup ? . or, did you cut/trim your own for the Binder ?
the feet set-up is a fine point to complement the binder system and end result, also the angle that your feeding the material through the binders throat will change your results .
Also for your learning technique with a synchronized binder and compound feed and feed/turn rhythm . slow the machine down on the radius and make a conscience effort to only feed-turn the material, on the needles down stroke, when the needles foot is down, with the outer feet off .

That KH 441 machine and binder set-up is a brute for Binding, and you maybe able to get far better results with a smaller/lighter cylinder bed or flat-bed machine and binder set-up .
for me sewing.. ( example Fabric ) .. On that 441 Binder set-up . I have a couple small outside corners on a closing flap of a bag that I regularly do .
that is 'smallest ' I do on that machine and binder for ( thickness ) of material when Binding around radius lid and closing flap .. 
Is binding threw ..  2-sides of 1" type-ll nylon binding . 1 piece of webbing . 3 pieces of 1-k denier . and 3/8" foam . I have the machine dumb down with nylon #138 .
That is NOT Even Close to workload that size of machine and binder can do and handle . It's nature is big tension, thick thread cord, big needle and thick material .
.
working with Good quality Binding tape material is a must , but I got to take a different view of binding material than RockAussie . Not that you can not turn a nice radius with gross grain , but I find that I prefer binding with a bias and herringbone weave over the gross grain when turning tighter radius.
