Baby Lock Ovation (BLES8) Instruction and Reference Guide - Manual (Page 69)

1. Stitch along one edge until you reach the corner. Take one
stitch off the edge of the fabric. (fig. A) (As you approach the
edge, you may want to stop and manually turn the handwheel
towards you)
2. Raise the needle(s) to the highest position.
3. Clear the stitch fingers, and rotate the fabric to reposition the
needle at the previous row of stitching. (fig. B) Gently pull up
on all threads to remove slack and resume stitching. (fig. C)
Note: A loose thread loop at the corner is caused by too much
slack in the needle thread when clearing the stitch fingers.
Try again, turning corners requires a little practice!

1. Reinforce loosely woven fabrics at the corner with staystitch-
ing on the conventional sewing machine. Clip to the corner.
(fig. A)
2. Align the fabric edge with the blade, and stitch until the blade
reaches the corner, not the needles. Don't cut into the corner.
(fig. B)
3. Lower the needle(s) to anchor the fabric.
4. Raise the presser foot and straighten out the fabric, forming a
pleat at the corner. (fig. C)
5. Be sure the marked stitching line is straight, then continue
serging the remaining edge. When done correctly, the pleat
will disappear after stitching. (fig. D)
