For those with a Juki 98/200/2010 - binder foot?

I needed that smile today! Not that I've had a bad day but it's been a busy day. I think it's going to be a good thing. I'm really anxious to get those screws so I can give it a go. Maybe over the weekend if I'm lucky I'll be binding a bunch of stuff that needs to be bound. I've got a small stack started. Binding is my absolute least favorite part...

It's my least favorite part too, that's why I wanted to know if it worked for you. I have a machine that part is listed for.

I have struck out sadly. The feet I ordered do not fit properly. The company I ordered it from has asked me to return it to me - and the screws they sent me don't fit my machine. They claim to have shipped replacements but I never got them. I'll be shipping back the foot and the original screws and if they don't refund me completely, I'll be taking it up with my credit card company.
I have not had the best of luck with the feet. I'm not a happy camper... and it turns out that my hopping foot does not hop. It sits completely flat on the bed of the machine and you can not get even a piece of paper under it. I've been in communication with the dealer I sold it through and he really doesn't seem to believe me. He said he'd have someone from Juki contact me but that hasn't happened yet today... I'm probably going to call the company directly in the morning if I don't hear from them first. I'm not a happy Juki camper right now :'(

I'm sorry you had trouble. I hope they are able to take care of things for you! I ordered a new sewing machine (long story) and it arrived last week broken and we haven't had any luck getting it replaced. I think We're going to have to ask PayPal to help us out here. I don't know if it makes me feel any better that Juki is just as bad!!!

My hopping foot blues should be over pretty soon. A tech from Juki contacted me about the feet issue. He's suppose to be sending me out a replacement foot. I'll try and call him later on today to check up on it.
It turns out that the feet are covered in oil for ship transport from overseas and they changed the company that supplied their oil. Now the oil is drying and turning to glue more or less lol. You can loosen the foot up with a spray of wd40 and tapping it with a hammer... I actually don't have wd40. It's on my shopping list now. He was going to send me one.
He asked for me to send a picture of the binder foot and he was going to see what he could find to work for the binder foot attachment. I think that I could actually alter this foot a little with a dremel tool if my husband or father in law is brave enough. There were two binder feet available - a 604 and a 602. I purchased the 602. I'm not sure what the difference is. I found online that the 604 was to be used with binder attachements 1 1/4" or larger which I was planning on getting. I wonder if I really needed the 602. The company I purchased it from was absolutely no help. It's frustrating to say the least but as soon as I get it all figured out I'm sure that I'll be happy as a clam.
