Lock stitch bindlers are a fantastic tool for making a quick and easy lock stitch set.
They are versatile enough to be used with almost any stitch, and can be made to fit most fabrics, including knit and crochet.
To make a lock stitch button hole binding machine (also known as a “collar setter”), you need only a few basic tools and some patience.
Here are the key pieces you’ll need to make and assemble a lock stitch buttonhole binding machine.

The Needle We will need a needle, a ruler, and a drill press.
