THE BIAS GAUGE
The Bias Gauge is very useful (especial­
ly in the case of soft materials) when
cutting bias strips from inch to 1%
inches in width. This is done by placing
the bias gauge upon the point of the
scissors and setting the blued indicator
to the width desired. The line F is the
point at which to set the blued indicator
for facings, the line B for binding, and the
line C for cording or piping.
Insert the material in the gauge with
the edge against the blued indicator, and
hold as shown above.
Bias binding should be cut -Jl inch wide,
and to do this the indicator should be set
midway between the lines F and B.

THE EDGE-STITCHER
The edge stitcher pro­
vides a series of slotted
guides which regulate
the placement of stitches
in relation to a fabric
edge.
It is attached to the machine in place
of the presser foot.
Applications
Joining lace and insertion, French seams.
Tucking with lace. Straight and pin tucks.
Facing and seam finishes. Seam piping.
Joining Lace and Insertion
Lovely lingerie detail is simple to
accomplish with the edge stitcher by
joining lace insertion or alternate bands
of fabric and lace. Slots 1 and 4 are used
for this work. Since slot 1 overlaps
slot 4, the edge inserted into slot 1 will be
the top stitched edge,
• Place the first band (the fabric band
where used) into slot 1.
