SEAM GUIDES
Seam guides are printed on needle plate, at
both sides of needle, to help you line up the
fabric and keep it straight. The standard
seam width is 5/8". So these lines are
emphasized, easy to follow.
Also the cross lines are "cornering guides" to
help when turning a square corner 5/8" from
the fabric edge. (For details on cornering, see
page 29.)

In order to place heavy fabric under the
presser foot or to change the presser foot

upward position as shown.

PRESSURE REGULATOR
Presser foot pressure is vital for straight
seams, uniform stitch length, even handling
of both layers of fabric. To adjust pressure;
use Pressure Regulator which is situated
inside the face cover. Then to increase
pressure, turn the dial clockwise (or vice
versa). Just remember... for lightweight
fabric, more pressure; for heavy fabric, less
pressure.
