Pivoting at Comer
To keep the seam straight, use one of the
numbered guideNnes on the plate. The num­
bers indicate distance, in eighths of an inch,
from the needle, if you want a 5/S-lnch
(1,6cm) seam, for example, line up your fabric
with the number 5 guideline. Note that both
number 5 guidelines (the most commonly
used) are extended on the slide plate for your
oonvenience; the crosslines serve as guides
when stitching a square corner.
For extra help In keeping the seam straight,
you may wish to use the seam guide. Because
it allows you to guide stitches evenly between
1/8-inch (Smm) and 1-1/4 inches (3cm) from
the fabric edge, it is particularly useful for
very narrow or very ’wide seams.
To insert seam guide on machine see page 8.
TyRriiMG SQUARE CORNERS
To turn a square corner 5/8~lnch (1.6cm)
from the fabric edge, you need not measure or
mark the seam. Simply use the crosslines on
the slide plate.
♦ Line up your fabric with right or left
guideline 5 on the plate. Stitch seam, slow­
ing speed as you approach corner.
♦ Stop stitching, with the needle down, when
the bottom edge of the fabric reaches the
cornering crosslines on the slide plate.
♦ Raise presser foot slightly end turn fabric on
needle, bringing bottom edge of fabric in
line with guideline 5.
® Lower the presser foot and stitch in new
direction.
