SINGER 771 Touch & Sew II - Manual (Page 26)

CURVED SEAMS
1. Use a fairly short stitch for elasticity and
strength. For example, if you use a medium
stitch length for straight seams, select a
slightly shorter stitch length to stitch
curved seams in the same fabric.
2, If you use the seam guide to guide stitch­
ing, attach it at an angle so that the edge
that is closer to the needle acts as a guide.
TO ATTACH SEAM GUIDE
Fasten seam guide by securing guide screw
into hole provided for it in machine bed.
To adjust the seam guide, loosen the guide
screw and slide the guide to the required
seam width. Then tighten the guide screw.

imately 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) to reinforce end

3. Raise needle to its highest position, raise
the presser foot, and remove the fabric by
drawing it to the back and left.
