Sewing corners
Keep the needle at the corner of the fabric, then raise the
presser foot and turn the fabric.
Sewing thick seams
When the foot angles up at the approach of a thick seam, lower
the needle and raise the presser foot. Level the presser foot by
placing a “shim” (folded fabric or cardboard) under the back of
the presser foot. Lower presser foot and continue stitching.

For short stitches which are less than 0.5 cm (3/16”)
Before you begin to sew, set a basting thread at the corner
point. When you change direction at the corner, start sewing as
you pull the basting thread backward.
