How to Work Binding Around Corners or Curves

Our short video, "How to Work Binding Around Corners or Curves," is a great demonstration for installing binding around a corner when using a standard feed binder attachment. Installing binding around a corner is not as difficult as it seems. For gentle curves, turn the fabric slowly while feeding it into the binder slot. For 90-degree turns, cut the binding at the corner and sew down with one side overlapping the other.

Our Sailrite® Swing-Away Binders are practical, easy-to-use sewing accessories. You can easily add one of these products to your Ultrafeed® LS or LSZ Sewing Machine to make your next project a little bit easier. But how? The Sailrite Swing-Away Binder automatically guides and folds binding tape into place over the edge of your fabric as you sew. These handy products are available in 3/4", 1", 1-1/4" and 2" sizes to help you tackle a number of binding projects. This binder works great when used in conjunction with our wide selection of Sunbrella®, Stamoid™ and Weblon Regatta® binding. The Sailrite Swing-Away Binder is a fantastic tool for the DIYer — it allows you to skip hemming by quickly and easily finishing the edges of awnings, dodgers, biminis, bags, boat flooring and more!
