Brother SA222CV 12mm Bias Tape Folder – 2340CV, CV3440 & CV3550

Brother SA222CV 12mm Bias Tape Folder

The Brother SA222CV Bias Tape Folder is a handy coverstitch attachment designed to
fold and attach 12 mm (approximately 1/2″) single-fold bias tape neatly and consistently as you sew.

Ideal for garment making, decorative sewing and professional-looking edge finishes, the bias tape is guided
through the attachment and into position while your coverstitch machine stitches it in place.

Perfect For

• Applying 12 mm bias tape
• Decorative coverstitching over seams
• Garment construction
• Neckline and edge finishing
• Decorative trim
• Making belt loops or narrow straps
• Stretchwear and casual clothing
• Home sewing and craft projects

12mm Bias Tape Application

The SA222CV is designed for use with
12 mm (approximately 1/2″) single-fold bias tape.
You can use commercially prepared bias tape or make your own tape to coordinate with your project.

As you sew, the folder helps guide the bias tape accurately through the attachment so that it remains
positioned consistently under the presser foot.

Professional-Looking Results

Applying bias tape evenly by hand can take time, especially on longer seams. The Brother SA222CV helps
keep the tape correctly positioned while sewing, making it easier to achieve an even, professional-looking finish.

It is particularly useful for decorative coverstitch applications where the bias tape becomes part of the
finished design.

How the Bias Tape Folder Works

Feed your prepared single-fold bias tape into the folder attachment before sewing.
The attachment guides the tape towards the needle area while keeping it correctly aligned with your fabric.

Once positioned correctly, the coverstitch secures the bias tape to your project while producing the neat,
decorative stitching associated with a coverstitch machine.

Use Ready-Made or Homemade Bias Tape

Brother advises that the SA222CV can be used with
ready-made 12 mm single-fold bias tape, or you can prepare your own bias tape from a fabric
that coordinates with your project.

Making your own bias tape is a great option when you want the trim to match or contrast perfectly with
your garment or sewing project.

Great for Decorative Coverstitching

The SA222CV isn’t limited to simply finishing raw edges. Brother also recommends it for
coverstitching over seams for decorative techniques, giving you another way to add
colour, texture and detail to your sewing.

Tips for Best Results

• Use 12 mm single-fold bias tape as recommended by Brother.
• Press homemade bias tape carefully before feeding it into the attachment.
• Test the attachment on a fabric scrap before sewing your finished project.
• Make sure the bias tape is feeding freely through the guide before beginning to sew.
• Guide the fabric gently rather than pulling it through the machine.
• Use a steady sewing speed for the most consistent finish.
• Check needle clearance by turning the handwheel manually after fitting the attachment.

Why Add a Bias Tape Folder to Your Coverstitch Machine?

If you regularly sew garments, activewear or decorative projects, a bias tape folder can make applying
binding quicker and more consistent.

It helps keep the tape aligned while allowing your Brother coverstitch machine to do the stitching,
making it a useful accessory for anyone wanting to achieve a neat, professional finish.
