Removing Leg Bands?

Post by kinnika » Wed Feb 10, 2010 12:53 pm

I have an American Singer that is really being bothered by his band. What is the best way to remove this band. I am told it is light Aluminum.

I'm assuming it is a closed metal band. I have never removed one, but redbirdproducts.com sells a tool for cutting them off. I think I need to get one of those to have just in case of an emergency.
