TO TURN A CORNER
TO SEW BIAS SEAMS
Stop the machine when the needle eye,
making its upward stroke, is still in the
fabric. Raise the presser foot and turn
the work as desired, using the needle as
a pivot, then lower the presser foot.
Use a short stitch and as light a tension
as possible on the needle thread so that
the thread is loose enough in the seam
to allow the goods, to stretch if necessary.
BASTING
The longest stitch, No. 6 on the stitch
indicator, is satisfactory for basting and
is easily removed by clipping every sixth
stitch and withdrawing the long continuous
thread.
Machine basting is firmer ^ and more
even than that done by hand in addition
to being much quicker.
