Thank you Jeanette! I am saving all of your VERY helpful tutorials! I have a BLCS-2 machine and bought a generic single fold binder. It is working out great so far.
Thank you SO much for this video! You saved my bacon, I just got this attachment and I was very intimidated. I just completed my first project with it, and I learned a lot!
Thank you! I'm jealous of that foot, they don't have one like this for my machine and binding does tend to run away to the right on the curves. I'll be waiting for the binding in a round video too, I'd love to master it. So far I strongly prefer binding for pocket edges and crossover fronts where it's open by design.
Brilliant video Jeanette, love your close up of the binding folding. Binding in the round would be amazing if you can demonstrate that, I will be watching out for that. Thank you for sharing your knowledge it is much appreciated.
It was that way for me to but be precise on cutting the strip, feed it in like I did under all the tucks and you should be good. It took about a dozen attempts for me until I realized where things had to go.
Congrats on getting a coverstitch machine!! I’m glad the video is helpful, having a coverstitch machine is a game changer when finishing your garments.
Thanks for another helpful video. I am looking for advice now. Once you attach your binding to the neckline, how do you complete the perfect seam when attaching a raglan sleeve. So what I've been doing is sewing raglan sleeve to both sides of the front and one side of the back, then add the binding. My problem is that seam at the neckline when attaching the sleeve to the back after the binding is attached. I hope you understand my question, Thanks
I hope this is what you are wanting and referring to!! To close the area after you attach the binding, I recommend Hilde's method. Practice until you feel you have it down or you'll get frustrated!!! hildesews.com/2018/06/25/seaming-bulky-edges/
Hi Jeanette, I have just stumbled across your tutorial and i am most impressed. I have had my foot for over 10 yrs and have never used it. Your instructions and how to use it was very concise and very clear thank you so much. I do alot of leotards so my questions to you are:- to use this attachment to sew bindings on a leotard will it stretch the binding enough to do so without elastic? In your opinion can i used this binder to make straps? At the present, i sew and stretch my bindings on with my overlocker, turn them to the back and then coverstitch them down and cut off any excess binding on the back, if this binder works similarly i would be one happy sewer. TIA Sue.
I found that binding is different from banding. Banding is what you do when you stretch as you sew, binding does stretch a tad but not on the level to use on leotards without elastic. Binding encases the edge of the garment while banding you are attaching a band to the edge. You can use banding on leotards but I wouldn't do binding. Hope this answers your questions. I'm glad the videos are helpful!!!
I actually don’t have this attachment anymore because I don’t like the thickness of the binding. I sold this attachment and bought a generic on eBay called top clean bottom raw. It’s half the thickness and you do have to tape it to the machine but the results are so much better, besides the attachment being so much cheaper as well. With a top clean bottom raw, basically the top is being folded while the underside is flat and the raw edge underneath is covered by the stitches of the machine.
You can only get the foot from Brother if you buy the expensive binder, I believe it’s over $100 now. However, all is not lost, I found someone to make the foot via 3D printing. Here is his contact, johny@awrcustom.com
New to cover stitch machine brother cv 3440. can you speak on cover stitch setup for very stretchy fabric for projects like swimwear body suits and leggings. Do I have to change the needle or need a special thread or foot. Your videos are the most helpful. Thank you!
I'm glad my videos help but I'm not familiar with the Brother 3440. As for sewing stretchy fabrics, I use 80/12 sharp needles, you don't need a special foot but I might suggest you use maxilock stretch thread in the looper when sewing stretchy fabrics. The stretch thread helps from popping. I think the 3440 is similar to the 2340 and my settings when sewing stretchy fabrics is usually set at 2 for needles, 0 for looper, stitch length at 4 and differential at the first dot past the 1. Also, if you haven't adjusted your presser foot, try adjusting it so the top of the screw is 1/2" of the machine and just leave it there. I find on the 2340 that has been the sweet spot. There's no issues with going over seams. Let me know if any of this helps.
Jeanette Weger thank you for Taking the time out to respond I will try to adjust according to what you are suggesting.I’ll keep you posted and how that goes.
I recently started with a janome 42/12 binding attachment for my brother cv3550. Still struggling.... fabric runs away to the right. That foot looks the solution for that problem. Any other suggestions?
It appears that the double fold binder I'm using fits the Brother 3550, try contacting Brother International and see if you can purchase just the foot for part SA225CV. I'm sure you can buy it separate.
My 2340cv hates binding 😢 it gets caught and skips stitches. I've set mine the same as yours for so long but after a few binding projects it's turned on me and misbehaves. 🤦
I was having skipped stitches with my Brother coverstitch until I was recommended to use size 90/14 stretch needles. It pretty much eliminated the problem.
The foot that comes with the binder helps keep the fabric flowing straight, you can use the other feet too, you would have to use these with a generic binder
@@jeanetteweger5518 so the one you linked below comeswithe the foot and the binding accessory, i boight this machine and have alot of learning to do. Do ypu have any resources as well
1 1/4”, but it depends on what size your binder is. There should be 2 numbers stamped on the binder. The bigger number is what you cut the strip at, the smaller number is the finished after folded.
I ask because, my fabric always goes side to side like it's not tight enough, and it's driving g me crazy... I have several different ones, but haven't tried them yet, because this one is for the brother coverstitch 2340cv. And I want it to work like yours... I am using four way stretch fabric... thank you so much....
@@tafaria128 it depends on the fabric what the setting will be, that’s why I always say to do sample runs with the fabric you are making the garment with. It eliminates problems on the actual garment.

Glad you like it. As soon as I finish my order I'll be playing with doing the binding in the round, hope I can get it down.
Will get mine out and give it another try. Finagling the fabric in to be bound is when I get frustrated.
It was that way for me to but be precise on cutting the strip, feed it in like I did under all the tucks and you should be good. It took about a dozen attempts for me until I realized where things had to go.

Where do you buy this?
My 2340cv hates binding 😢 it gets caught and skips stitches. I've set mine the same as yours for so long but after a few binding projects it's turned on me and misbehaves. 🤦
The skipped stitches would be due to either needles or settings. Are you using the wide needle setting when binding?
I was having skipped stitches with my Brother coverstitch until I was recommended to use size 90/14 stretch needles. It pretty much eliminated the problem.
Stretch needles will save your life!
Can u link the binder you are using
www.worldweidner.com/Brother-SA225CV-Double-Fold-Binder-for-2340CV-Serger-Machine.aspx
Do you think the other feet are necessary?
The foot that comes with the binder helps keep the fabric flowing straight, you can use the other feet too, you would have to use these with a generic binder
I would like one, could I use ¾ or ⅞ width fabric?
Not in this binder and I do believe this is the only size available for the Brother 2340. You may have to look into a generic binder
Thanks
Where can i get this presser foot can you link it down below
You can't get it on its own. If you want that particular foot you need to buy the entire binder which costs anywhere from 84 to 90
