Question by fenredwing: How does the Binding foot work for the Singer 99?
I have recently been given a Singer 99K sewing machine along with a selection of feet. I have worked out that one is the binder foot, nd after playing about with it, can still not make it work. I was wondering if someone could either describe to me or point me to a site that will tell me how to ‘thread’ the fabric through the foot so that it will work.
I think, in fact, that i have two binder feet. One is small with just the part that looks like an icing piping nozzle. The other has this bit and also a longer piece which has metal prongs that point vertically upwards. Can anyone tell me what this is ? What is the difference between the two?

Most binders work the same.

Question by frustratedbyphysics: How does this part of the Rube Goldberg machine work?
I’m designing a project for my engineering glass, and one of my ideas was to have something similar to the video linked below, at 16 seconds.

I was wondering how to imitate this, like are the two tracks bound by an elastic string ? How does the marble trigger it to release and complete the track? I’d really appreciate some input !
Best answer:
Answer by Ronald S
There could be a tip on the track that is resting on a platform. The marble hits a block on top that is connected to a dowel that is connected to the platform.
The block starts so that the long face is normal to the marble’s path. The marble hits the block and rotates it 90 degrees. At the same time the platform that holds the track from snapping could have rotated out of the way and allowed the track to snap in place.
Instead of elastic string I might consider a a torsion spring. It would be more powerful.
