Synchronized Binder Attachement

[jhunter13]

I picked up a synchronized binder attachment for my LU563 clone. After overcoming the initial learning curve and some setup frustrations, Im finally getting some solid results.

I plan on using it for tight corners and inside corners on things like back pack straps and gear.

4mm foam with 500d cordura on each side

6mm foam with 1" grosgrain

Cutting right to the chase......for now a simple day pack as a trial run. After that, well....youll have to wait for the post and pics here! Lol

How much does the binder attachment run and is it easily removable or do you have a dedicated machine?

Ill add a link and what I paid tnite.

As for removable the arm its magnetic. It pops off in seconds. It does require a different needle plate, feed dog and presser feet to operate the arm - so that takes a few minutes to swap out. I dont think you need a dedicated machine, but Id stack your binding jobs to avoid a lot of back and forth.

With that said, you can swing the arm out of the way and simple sew as is, but I prefer the other needle plate and presser feet.

Very clean work! There’s some folks on this site that would gladly hire you to be their sew shop!

Appreciate the compliment, but Im still way more blacksmith than machinist when it comes to stitching.

Blacksmiths are keystone artisans…

First attempt at binding a pack strap. Went to fast on that short raidus turn on the bottom which gave some wrinkles.

I clearly need an industrial sewing machine. And I swear it’s not GAS…

I need to get a binder setup, so sick of using wonderclips.

Been there before haha

Still practicing....heres a solid result using layer of 6mm closed cell foam in between two layers of cordura.

Looks nice. How do you finish the end? Do you have to cut the grosgrain before it goes through the binder? How do you keep the cut end from fraying?

You have me looking at binders for my machine but I don’t see anything that says synchronized. Any idea if the stationary binders can do radius like this?

Very nice. Taking the DIY status to the next level.

Ive ended it several different ways....none I am all that happy with yet. I burn the cut end with a lighter to keep it from fraying
