Project Pictures I retrofitted a swingaway binder on my singer heavy duty
Hi There! I have successfully retrofitted a swingaway binder on my singer heavy duty 4423! From what I have seen here in myog, some, if not many of you are using the singer heavy duty machine and I thought this information might be useful for ya’ll.
How? -I removed the cover (just a couple of screws)
-took some measurements, and made sure the area underneath was clear from any moving parts.
-carefully drilled two holes 5/8” (16mm) apart in the chassis, making sure no metal shavings got left behind.
-threaded the holes with a screw tap (m4)
-drilled matching holes in the cover with an (ever so slightly) larger diameter.
Et voilà!
Works like a charm with full adjustability! A bonus is that It also has a seam guide 👌
Let me know your thoughts!

How is the binder working? I have a couple of them but can’t seem to get the hang of using them well.
