BINDER
Binding
Remove the presser foot and attach the
binder in its place. Pass the binding through
the scroll of the hinder and draw it back
under the needle. Place the edge of the
goods to he bound between the scrolls of the
hinder and draw it under the needle. Lower
the presser bar and sew as usual. To make
French folds proceed as directed for binding
except that the fold is stitched on to the face
of the material instead of on the edge (see
Fig. 27). After loosening the binder set screw
and adjusting the binder the line of stitching
can be brought nearer the centre, this being
more effective when making French folds.

BIAS GAUGE
The bias gauge may be used by placing it on
the point of a pair of scissors, as below, and
different widths of material may be cut by
adjusting the slide (S. Fig. 28,). Bias binding
for binder No. 36595 should be cut fifteen-six-
teenths of an inch wide if muslin or similar
fabrics are used, and to do this the slide (S)
should be placed half way between the lines
marked "F" and "B." The edge of the goods
should be passed through the attachment
and against the slide while cutting. When
binding with fine, soft or flimsy materials, cut
the bias binding a suitable fraction wider.
BINDER
Bind with Dress Braid
The braid being stitched on the edge it should
fit the binder without turning in the edges, as
is the case with bias binding.
