Alexander Dyer do you know where I can find this machine

[@callumari1696]

As always jam-packed full of information. This guy doesn't waffle on and gets straight to the point. Thank-you Alexander.

[@lexcrob1]

I can’t stop watching im hooked on sewing machines now… So fascinating did not see that coming. I bought a 227 a few months back decided I had to have reverse now a 206rb-2 yesterday.

[@seemeknowme]

You're a man after my own heart, Alex! I love all these unique machines with specific purposes. For the last year, inspired by your videos, I have also been rebuilding industrial sewing machines both as a hobby and in the industrial laundry I have worked in for ten years now. Your video on the Singer 457 could be likened to a boy seeing a cool car in a magazine and instantly wanting one! I don't currently own a zigzag machine and am now looking to get a 457 in the white paint scheme, pre flat top. I just think they look awesome and I won't be satisfied until I have one! Keep up the great work!

[@AlexanderDyer]

That is so cool to hear. Thank you very much. 💥💥💥

[@GaryT1952]

That is slick! Amazing engineering and quality manufacturing that go in to your commercial machines

[@stoneblue1795]

Sweet mother of Japan, nice set up.

[@nailkasimov4475]

Thank you! A good review as always!

[@AlexanderDyer]

Thanks

[@jmichaelashland6204]

Thank you for your excellent communication and video quality. I have the 223R and Jukis in LS341. I bought them from nick-o-sew, an eBay seller, at a great price. Running tex135 bonded twist poly. You can go up to 12 ounces thick in leather if you set them up with a Servo and a speed reducer. Nice and easy, good job.

[@AlexanderDyer]

All right! Super cool! Thanks for sharing that. I find it interesting that you are using this machine with leather and 135 thread. I am thinking I might give a similar setup a try on this machine, Thanks.

[@jmichaelashland6204]

Correction - it's the Juki walking foot LS-341 that I babied with a servo and speed reducing wheel for leather. Not the Consews. But a similar set-up on that cylindar 223R would be a smooth operator for canvas and light leathers. Thanks!

[@BattleAx342]

I like that sewing machine. It would be a good machine for binding the inside of my canvas bags. Great video...

[@AlexanderDyer]

I think so too!

[@anthonymayes8332]

The only thing I could have sold you about the machine is it looks like a sewing machine. Great video

[@almansoral-guhrbani5611]

Thank you

[@vieuxacadian9455]

Thanks !

[@Vivaldi111]

Could you do a video sometime on how to do binding on a rounded pouch edge for example? I find it so tricky to do on my flatbed sewing machine, and there is hardly any videos on YT on the subject. Awesome video as always btw!

[@SilenceFriction1]

Having the proper tools is always helpful. Binding is one task that I continue to have trouble getting correct. Usually with folding the corners on a continuous run. I'm not sure that I have room right now, but count me in for the giveaway. I'd be happy to make some space.

[@AlexanderDyer]

Since you are looking to do mitered corners, have you watched Missouri Star ultimate binding video? It is clear, and easy to follow and she gets right to it without wasting time. The binder gives nice consistent results but I would not know how to miter corner with it. Maybe its possible but I either avoid corners or just run past, cut off flush and start in on the other direction.

[@SilenceFriction1]

@@AlexanderDyer I just watched that video, and took note. I usually use pre-fab double fold binding on my projects, purchased in 10 yard lengths, and I apply without a guide. On a 90 degree corner, you have to pre-fold the miter on both sides of the fabric prior to placing stitches. Many times the underside miter becomes undone while progressing, creating a terrible looking corner. Also on thick edges (especially on curves), the binding sometimes shifts to the top side, and your stitch line is way off to the binding edge on the underside. I assume that patience and practice are necessary. I really like sewing my own projects/designs wp.me/pa9ORF-2k I wish that I had more cash to throw at this hobby. Many times I re-purpose materials to keep it affordable. wp.me/pa9ORF-22 Thanks for the info.

[@AlexanderDyer]

Oh Wow! Excellent! That looks awesome. thejasonofalltrades sews like that too, he might have some better ideas about that than me. I know that he uses regular office staples for challenging bits to hold things just so and then removes them once the sewing is complete. Thanks for sharing and keep up the get work.

[@IRDeezlSmoke]

I wish more people would or could produce such high quality videos as you do. Very professional and ever so informative and educational. Thank you again for putting this up. I will look into the tee shirts.

[@sophtware]

Can you do a video on how to adjust a binder attachment? Showing what problems you could have and how to adjust to solve those problems. Like when going around curves and the binding creeps to one side.

[@AlexanderDyer]

Thanks for the request. Working with binders is not nearly the no brainer that it first appears to be. There are companies that specialize in setting up machines for very specific jobs. i.e. +TennesseeAttachment There are just so many variables.

[@sophtware]

@@AlexanderDyer That's where I did get my latest binder. I have a Consew 206-RB5. It worked great when I first got it, now it doesn't work any better than my $12 Chinese version. They said I could send it back and they would make it right, so that's what I'm going to do. I just wish the person that makes these things did an in-depth video on adjusting these for a perfect bind every time, and what the adjust when things go out of whack.

[@AlexanderDyer]

Yes, the adjustments can be critical and rather subtle. The type of feet that are used are also important.

[@marcovilchez7100]

Good video thanks

[@AlexanderDyer]

Sure.

[@linesoffabric]

Thank you for sharing so much throughout the years. One thing that caught my eye, other than the machine, was the way you folded that fabric to cut the bias strips. Do you think you could show your way of folding it in a separate video?

[@AlexanderDyer]

Thank you for the suggestion. I think there are lots and lots of those videos and so I am not sure I'm feeling it. If you search for something like 'making bias binding' I am sure will can find a dozen or so videos on it and be where you want to be way before I got one of mine made and up. By the way, That is how I learned it 😃

[@MackLife10]

Great video! My stitching keeps running off the binding around corners. any thought?

[@sdunca4864]

Bravo Dyer! Like the explanation of the various uses! sweet binder attach as well- Does the Consew reverse? Once again- awesome video and like the backpack vid as well!

[@AlexanderDyer]

Reverse, yes. Thank you.

[@lukedorny]

A really great machine. My ideal machine would be this but with a walking foot triple feed and handle, at the least, larger 138 thread.

[@AlexanderDyer]

Yes, that sounds like a sweet setup. Thanks

Do you have a part number for the swing away attachment?

Did you get the swing away attachment from Tennessee Attachment Company? Thanks!

I do not.

Hi mr alexander thanks for all the videos any idea where to buy a right angle binder for a 226 consew? Thanks

[@AlexanderDyer]

Try this company and tell me how it goes. www.tennattachment.com/

[@andriypoplavskyy4722]

Awesome video Alex! This is something I have been looking all over the place and couldn't find any help. I have Cobra Class 26 machine and want to ad binding attachment, but hit the wall while trying to find a good way to attach any aftermarket binder. Cobra doesn't offer anything for that machine. Looks like your setup is exactly what I need. Can you please share the info on what and where to get (Binder and Mounting Plate like yours). Any help would be immensely appreciated. Thanks in advance, Andriy.

Can I use a binder on a consew 206RB model?

[@AlexanderDyer]

Of course. Also consider your feet. They make feet for these type of operations and they can be very helpful.
