Discover the Secret of Using a Facing as Binding

Did you know that you can use a 2" facing as a binding? In this video, we will demonstrate how to use a 2-inch facing tape as a binding (folded over an edge for a finished 1-inch wide binding on both sides). A facing tape is a manufactured piece of canvas or vinyl that has its edges folded under to equal a 2-inch finished tape. It is typically aligned flat along a fabric panel's edges, then bound with a separate piece of binding for a finished-looking edge. On the underside of this 2-inch facing are two hems one on each side, one is about 1/2 wide and the other is about 1 inch wide. The one-inch flange is used as a reinforcement for fasteners which may be installed along an edge of a fabric panel. Or if a zipper is used, instead of fasteners, this 1-inch hem gives the zipper a nice-looking flange that looks finished both outside and inside the flange. In this tutorial video, we will show how to use the Sailrite® 2-inch Swing Away Binder to sew facing as a binding.

I need to try that with my binders and see if that works. Also i have a industrial walking foot straight stich machine. Would that be enough for sewing and repairing sails?

[@SailriteDIY]

It may be enough depending on the weight of the sail fabric used and the size of the walking foot machine. Traditionally most sails are sewn with a zig-zag stitch, but for repairs you could use a straight stitch machine, yes.

I would like to see it running 2" webbing (seatbelt). I might buy one if it ran it smoothly.

What I really need is a 4 inch binder. Got any plans to make one?

[@SailriteDIY]

No, sorry.

[@OldOrchardFarmhouse]

Is this binder only for industrial machines?

[@SailriteDIY]

No, this binder can be used for both industrial and domestic machines. If your machine has two threaded holes to the right of the presser foot for accessories, it should work.

[@terryedens7122]

Hey Eric do any of the binders fit a Consew 226 by chance

[@SailriteDIY]

If your sewing machine has two threaded holes to the right of the needle in the needle plate or the casting for attachments, then yes it will work.

[@terryedens7122]

@@SailriteDIY mine has that plate over the bobbin so I may be outta luck

Do you do layaway payment programs?! 🤔

[@SailriteDIY]

Sorry, we do not. Use a credit card, it is like a payment program, but with high interest if you do not pay if off. Sorry!
