1. Stitch along one edge until you reach the corner. Take one
stitch off the edge of the fabric (fig. A). (As you approach
the edge, you may want to stop and manually turn the
handwheel towards you.)
2. Raise the needle(s) to the highest position.
3. Clear the stitch fingers, and rotate the fabric to reposition
the needle at the previous row of stitching (fig. B). Gently
pull up on all threads to remove slack and resume
stitching (fig. C).
Note: A loose thread loop at the corner is caused by too much
slack in the needle thread when clearing the stitch fingers.
Try again, turning corners takes a little practice!
1. Reinforce loosely woven fabrics at the corner with
staystitching on the conventional sewing machine. Clip to
the corner (fig. A).
2. Align the fabric edge with the blade, and stitch until the
blade reaches the corner, not the needles. Don't cut into
the corner (fig. B).
3. Lower the needle(s) to anchor the fabric.
4. Raise the presser foot and straighten out the fabric,
forming a pleat at the corner (fig. C).
5. Be sure the marked stitching line is straight, then continue
serging the remaining edge. When done correctly, the
pleat will disappear after stitching (fig. D).
