Basic Sewing Procedures
Separate the folded edges of the fabric pieces with a gap of
4mm (1/8 inch) and baste them onto a piece of thin paper or
water-soluble stabilizer sheet.
Align the center of the presser foot with the center of the two
pieces of fabric and begin sewing.
After sewing, remove the paper.

• Stitch along the edge of the fabric, making sure not to
sew directly on the edge of the fabric.
– For better results, apply spray starch onto the fabric
and press with a hot iron before it is sewn.
• Trim along the stitches.
• Be careful not to cut the stitches.
