What you are seeing
A closer view of contrast binding going on. The operator lines the binding up with the garment edge and feeds both under the presser foot together.
Binding has to go on at an even tension: pulled too tight, the edge puckers; fed too loose, it ripples. That is why the approved sample is the reference for a binding detail, and why it is checked on the first pieces of a run.
