2 needle machines
Can't Post
Can anyone please reccomend their favorite 2 needle machine. A dedicated binding tape setup is what I am shooting for. So many machines available, but which ones work well?
Thank you. I have the binding tape folder from Paragear, although I found them on e-bay later for half price. Is the 112w-114 substantially the same machine?
I'll 2nd that; I also been using a Singer 112W115 for over 30 yrs. I think Para-Gear has fairly good pricing on a binding tape folder.

I have a Para-Gear folder on my light weight double needle machine and it works great on thin materials, up to D-bag thickness. For thicker materials (i.e. container stiffeners) I use a heavier weight Consew with an expensive (90 degree) folder from Atlanta Attachments.

I called 'em up and ordered a 112 and the guy said that for the same price he'd sell me a 212 because he would have to re-finish the 112's. I got a great deal on it...
I don't have the binder attachment permanently installed yet but a friend of mine who builds base rigs has the right-angle binder on his 112. Can't go wrong with either the 112 or the 212 I don't think.
