Sew to the point in fabric where you want to turn a corner. Stop the machine. Turn the handwheel
toward you (counter clockwise) by hand, making sure the needle is going down in the fabric. Slowly
start to raise the needle OUT OF FABRIC. Stop when you see the eye of the needle. (The point of the
needle will still be in the fabric.) Raise the presser foot (fig. A), and slowly pivot the fabric (fig. B). Lower
the presser foot and continue to sew (fig. C).

Turning Corners ­ Cover Stitch
Sew to the point in fabric where you want to turn a corner. Stop the machine. Turn the handwheel
toward you (counter clockwise) until the needles are down in the fabric. Turn the handwheel away from
you (clockwise) until the needles are in the highest position and the needles are out of the fabric. Raise
the presser foot (fig. A) and slowly pivot the fabric. Align the needles with the stitching on the fabric (fig.
B) and lower the presser foot. Continue to sew. (fig. C)
To keep the stitch from unraveling at the corner(s), use a hand needle and thread to complete the cor­
ner on the top of the fabric and catch the chain looper thread on the underside.
