26. SOME USEFUL SEWING HINTS

TO TURN CORNERS:

1. Stop the machine while the needle is still in the material.

2. Raise the presser foot and turn the fabric using the needle as a pivot.

3. Lower the presser foot and resume sewing.

TO SEW ELASTIC FABRICS:

In sewing such elastic materials as jerseys, bias cut cloths etc., it is advisable to sew them with reduced upper

thread tension otherwise the thread will break when the sewn materials are stretched.

TO SEW VERY THEN CLOTH:

When sewing very thin cloth w'-ich tends to gather as you sew, place a sheet of newspaper or any other thin

paper underneath the material ana sew with the shortest stitch possible. This will keep your work from gathering

BASTING:

1. Reduce the tension of the upper thread and employ the longest stitch possible.

2. The stitches may then be easily removed by pulling the lower thread.

TO KEEP YOUR MACHINE IN PERFECT CONDITION;

the material automatically.
