Product Description
Give your garment finishing a cleaner and more distinctive look with this Double Color Piping Folder Attachment for Flatlock Machines. It is designed to feed two different fabric strips together, helping create a layered dual-color piping effect during a single flatlock or coverstitch sewing operation.
This attachment is suitable for industrial flatlock, coverstitch, and interlock machines, including Juki, Pegasus, Yamato, Siruba, Brother, Jack, and Kansai Special. It can be mounted through standard bed-plate screw ports or suitable binder mounting plates, depending on the machine setup.
Create Two-Color Piping in One Sewing Operation
The main advantage of this piping folder is its dual-strip feeding design. Two fabric strips can be guided simultaneously so they remain aligned as they approach the sewing area.
This makes it useful when you want contrasting or coordinated piping on garments without relying on a separate manual preparation process. Piping folders are commonly used to help prepare and guide fabric during industrial sewing operations.
The attachment is particularly useful for garment manufacturers producing T-shirts, sportswear, activewear, underwear, and other knitwear where clean edge finishing and consistent decorative details are important.
