Binding
Binding folders that fold and apply binding tape to an edge in one pass.
The binding category
What a binding folder does.
A binding folder wraps a strip of binding tape around a raw edge and presents it to the needle already folded, so a single pass encloses the edge and sews it in one operation. It is one of the most common finishing operations in sewn goods, and one of the most sensitive to fold accuracy: a binding that runs wide on one side and narrow on the other is visible on every inch of the edge.
Binding folders are built for single fold or double fold binding, for a range of tape widths, and for bias or straight grain tape depending on whether the edge is curved or straight. The folder throat is machined to a specific finished width and tape thickness, which is why the catalog runs to dozens of variants, each matched to a binding size and material.
Binding is applied wherever an edge needs a clean, enclosed finish, from mattress panels to apparel necklines to furniture trim, so the right folder depends entirely on the edge and the tape. Choosing one means matching the finished binding width, the single or double fold, and the tape material and grain to the edge you are finishing and the machine it mounts to.
