hand until the needle swings fully to the left. It should just pierce
the fold of the fabric. If it does not, adjust the stitch width
accordingly (2).
If using the optional blindhem foot, adjust the guide (3) by
turning the knob (4) so that the guide just rests against the fold.
Sew slowly, guiding the fabric carefully along the edge of the
guide.
