TO TURN A CORNER
Stop the machine when the needle is commencing
its upward stroke. Raise the presser foot and turn
the work as desired, using the needle as a pivot,
then lower the presser foot.
BASTING
The longest stitch, No. 6 on the stitch indicator,
adjusted by lever X, Fig. 17, is satisfactory
for basting. These basting stitches can be easily
removed by clipping every sixth stitch and with
drawing the long continuous thread.
Machine basting is firmer, more even and much
quicker than hand basting.
TO SEW BIAS SEAMS
Use a shorter stitch when sewing bias or curved
seams to increase the elasticity of the seam and
to prevent seam failure under strain.
No change in tensions is required.
TO REMOVE THE WORK
Stop the machine with the thread take-up lever
5, Fig. 16 at its highest position. Raise the presser
foot, draw the fabric back and to the left, and sever
the threads on the thread cutter U, Fig. 16. Place
the ends of the threads under the presser foot, as
shown in Fig. 15.
