Serger for hem binding (be sure it has a safety stitch)

Embroidering machine for specialty patterns.

A 1 or 2 needle straight stitcher

An off the arm (Feld-lok) machine

The ONLY way you are going to pull that off is to buy used or surplus, and then you are only going to be buying someone else’s headaches. Juki (Union Special), Brother, Yamata and Con-Sew are the best made..all the others are TRASH, including Singer.

Question by ELIZABETH: Who took over the Design A Quilt and Bind All business in Paduka, Ky. Need an e mail or phone #.?
I am trying to find out who took over the above business. It was owned and ran by a man named Dan Puckett. Several years ago, I purchased a Bind All machine and it was great for applying binding to a finished quilt. I no longer own that machine but need to purchase a fabric folder (like on the Bind All) for another industrial machine. This company also made fabric folders for other machines and I really want to get one. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Just a suggestions but go to google and search for a authorized dealer for your machine. It should list the new shop name and number. If not you might find one also most as close to you, I have found most dealers in the area know what is or has happened to the ones closest to them.

I have a Singer and… well, it jammed really easily and it’s really old, so maybe newer one’s work better.
