My wife and I were trying out some new toys tonight and trying to do a Knotty mod to my hammock. We got the mod done but didn't get the toy to work, it's a plane tape binder. We're planning on using it for grosgrain ridge lines on a couple tarps we're making. The problem is that the top and bottom portions of the grosgrain are not feeding correctly. Unfortunately I didn't think of taking any pictures of the problem so I will try to describe it. Basically within a couple stitches the top half of the grosgrain slides off to the right of the presser foot, so it is no longer being sewn and the bottom also seems to shift to the left some. We were trying to have the stitching rather close to the edge so we had a channel for the shock cord. I'm not sure if you just can't do that or if something was not positioned correctly. Does anyone have experience with these and can you help me trouble shoot this please? Here are some reference pictures for roughly how we had it.
