Binding Specifications

This foot produces a finished double-fold binding width of 1/4 inch (approx. 6 mm) regardless of the input method used.

Option 1 Raw-Edge (Unfolded) Bias Strips:

• Feed a flat strip into the main funnel scroll; the foot automatically folds both raw edges inward and rolls the binding over the fabric edge
• Cut width: 15/16 for crisp fabrics (chambray, gingham, etc.); up to 1 for softer or stretchy materials

Option 2 Pre-Folded Commercial Bias Tape:

• Accepts commercial bias tape Sizes No. 1 through No. 5 (1/4 to 1/2 widths)
• Slide pre-folded tape directly into one of the four guide slots on the side of the cone top slots for narrow sizes (12), middle/lower slots for wider sizes (35)
• The foot folds the tape snugly over the raw edge for a uniform 1/4 finished border

How It Works

The slotted binder guides your bias binding through a slot that automatically folds it around the raw edge of your fabric. As you sew, both edges of the binding are stitched in place simultaneously, creating a clean, professional finish. Raw edges disappear inside the binding, and the stitching is even and close to the folded edge no hand pinning or basting required.
