SINGER WSL216 - Manual (Page 15)

BASIC TECHNIQUES
Sewing off and back on creates extra thread
which must be disposed of and tied off.
OUTSIDE CORNERS
To attain a neat outside corner, do the
following:
1. Sew one side of the fabric to end.
2. Carefully raise the needle and presser
foot.
3. Grasp the fabric gently and rotate the
cloth.
4. Slide the threads off the seam forming on
the tongue of the needle plate, while
pressing the tension release lever down
with your right hand.
5. Realign the edge of the fabric and put the
cut edge of the fabric against the cutter.
6. Align the needle back into the needle line
instead of the edge of the fabric.
7. Overlook the edge as needed, repeat for
other corners.
INSIDE CORNERS
You may either cut your fabric to desired size
or mark your fabric and carefully follow your
line and trim off excess.

Align the fabric edge with the inside edge
of cutter.
Overlook stitch to the inside edge,
allowing your cutter to make one cut into
the inside corner.
3. CAUTION: Your cutter is approximately
in front of the needle, so you must
fold your material away from the cutter.
Sew to the corner and stop.
4. Raise up presser foot and needle, pivot
material, align the fabric edge against the
inside edge of cutter.
5. Slide the thread off the seam forming
tongue of needle plate.
6. Align needle to form a square corner and
sew the balance of your seam.
UNCUT MATERIAL: Follow the same
procedure, but you must carefully follow
your mark. Always consider that you will
have excess cut-away material to handle.
