BASTING

TURNING A CORNER

The longest stitch. No. 6 on the stitch

regulator, adjusted by stitch regulating

lever, is found satisfactory for basting.

These basting stitches can be easily removed

by clipping every sixth stitch and with­

drawing the long, continuous thread.

Machine basting is firmer, more even and

much quicker than hand basting.

Pivot on eye of needle. Stop machine

when needle is in this position. Raise

presser foot, turn work as desired, lower the

presser foot and resume sewing.

SEWING BIAS SEAMS

Use a shorter stitch when sewing bias or

curved seams to increase the elasticity of

the seam and to prevent seam failure under

strain. No change in tensions is required.
