Using a Double Fold Binder for your CS Machine-dwn

[Cobblestone]

Even if I get the binder lined up perfectly, the fabric in it tends to 'drift' when I'm using it and I always end up running off the garment. Anyone happen to know how to solve this?

This is why I use my little awl tool to keep pushing the garment fabric back into the fold of the binding, before it goes under the needles. I keep a pretty close eye on the fabric as I'm sewing to make sure it is getting fed properly. I stop every 3-4 inches or so to push the fabric back in.

Hmmm, I'll definitely give that a try--I've been convinced it's my binding that drifts, rather than a problem with the fabric that's feeding in. But, anything is worth a try!! (I've been so mad at myself for buying that binder and then not being able to get it to stop drifting )
