So far just been doing what I can with visors that require binding on them. I am just wondering if you guys who use a binding foot for visors have any opinions advice or leads on where to purchase.

Thanks Guys

I do a lot of binding with a Sailrite swing away binder (still not very good at it) but the tight corners and any inside curves on a visor are going to give you a run for your money. A visor may be too thick to go through a binder unless you have one made specifically for that purpose.

Lol yeah @Revv Up I tried those swing away binding attachments a few times and just went back to doing it by hand.

@BigRig Ive always done visor binding by hand. Just takes practice. Go slow and just focus on keeping the binding folded over the equal on both sides.

The swing away's are good for carpet, I couldn't imagine something stiff like a visor would work very well. The binder comes into the needle at 45% . You might want to try the style that sits at a 90% to the needle, it might be easier to make an inside turn. This style https://www.ebay.com/itm/Industrial-Sew ...
