When sewing, it is important to correctly
guide the stitches on your fabric to achieve
centered stitching. A line of stitching is cen­
tered when it lies evenly on an imaginary line
on the fabric. To clearly see what stitch cen­
tering is, and to practice even stitch guidance
and machine control, try the test below.

Use a light color top and under thread for this

test. This will demonstrate to you how a cor­
rectly centered line of stitching lies on a given

line.

• Attach special purpose foot.

Notice that foot is clear plastic for better
visibility and has vertical black line in the
center to guide stitch placement on fabric.

• Touch ' straight stitch.

• Draw a vertical line on a sheet of paper or

use graph paper, if available.

• Place paper under presser foot with drawn

line centered under black vertical guideline

of special purpose foot.

• Lower needle by turning hand wheel toward

you. and position it on drawn line of paper.

• Lower presser foot.

• Carefully sew along the drawn line on the

paper, using black vertical guideline of foot
to guide stitching. Do not watch needle.

• After you have sewn along the drawn line,

carefully remove paper from under presser
foot.

If you have correctly guided the paper while

sewing, the stitched line will be centered.
Notice that the stitching lies evenly on the
drawn line.

Try a paper sampler using a variety of stitches
to practice stitch centering.

To assure centered stitching on the fabrics
you sew, use a guideline marked with tailor’s
chalk.
