Description

Baby Lock Double Fold Bias Binder with Guide Rake

The Baby Lock Double Fold Bias Binder with Guide Rake is the ideal attachment for creating professional-quality bound edges on garments and sewing projects. Designed for use with Baby Lock coverstitch and coverlock machines, this attachment allows you to apply double-fold bias binding or jersey strips quickly, accurately and consistently.

Whether you’re finishing necklines, armholes, bodysuits, sportswear or decorative edges, the guide rake and extended feeding path help produce beautifully even results while reducing the frustration often associated with applying binding manually.

Compatible with the Baby Lock Aspire, Gloria, Ovation, Cover Stitch, Euphoria and Primo.

What Does the Double Fold Bias Binder with Guide Rake Do?

This attachment folds both sides of the binding strip underneath before it is stitched onto the fabric. The raw edge of the fabric is completely enclosed within the binding, creating a professional finish on both the front and back of the garment.

Unlike standard binders, this version includes a guide rake that helps control the fabric strip as it feeds through the attachment. This reduces twisting, rolling and uneven feeding, resulting in cleaner and more consistent bindings.

The result is a finish that looks remarkably similar to commercially manufactured garments.

Why Use a Guide Rake?

One of the biggest challenges when applying binding is keeping the fabric strip feeding evenly through the attachment. Knit fabrics, jersey and stretch materials can often curl or twist, leading to inconsistent results.

The integrated guide rake helps solve this problem by:

• Keeping the binding strip flat as it enters the binder
• Reducing twisting and curling
• Improving feeding consistency
• Helping maintain an even finished width
• Making the attachment easier to use on longer runs

This extra control is especially useful when working with jersey fabrics and stretch garments.

Perfect for Necklines and Curved Edges

The Double Fold Bias Binder with Guide Rake features an extended guide path with a 90-degree feeding angle.

This design gently stretches the binding strip before it reaches the needles, making it particularly effective when sewing around curves.

This makes the attachment ideal for:

• T-shirt necklines
• Sweatshirt necklines
• Children’s clothing
• Bodysuits
• Sportswear
• Activewear
• Armholes
• Curved garment edges

The slight tension applied to the binding helps it sit neatly against the fabric without puckering or flaring.

Suitable for Jersey and Knit Fabrics

The Baby Lock Double Fold Bias Binder works exceptionally well with:

• Cotton Jersey
• Interlock Jersey
• Ribbing
• French Terry
• Sweatshirt Fabrics
• Ponte Roma
• Lycra
• Stretch Fabrics
• Activewear Fabrics
• Lightweight Knits

Because the attachment helps manage the stretch of the binding strip, it produces smoother and more professional results than manually applied binding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a double fold and single fold bias binder?

A double fold binder folds both edges of the binding underneath, completely enclosing the raw fabric edge. A single fold binder only folds one side, creating a flatter finish with less bulk.

Can I use jersey strips instead of traditional bias binding?

Yes. This attachment is designed to work with both traditional bias binding and jersey strips, making it ideal for knitwear and stretch garments.

Which size should I choose?

Smaller sizes create narrower, more discreet bindings, while larger sizes create wider decorative finishes. The best choice depends on the style of garment and the look you want to achieve.

Is this attachment suitable for necklines?

Yes. The guide rake and extended guide path make this attachment particularly effective for necklines and other curved edges.

Which stitch should I use?

This attachment is designed for use with coverstitch or double chain stitch, depending on your machine and the finish you want to achieve.
