Pin Basting
Pin basting is a time saver and can
be used in place of hand basting
when you are
straight stitching
seams in easy-to-handle fabrics
.
When sewing over pins, it is impor-
tant to use fine pins and to place
them correctly in relation to the
stitching line .
Place
pins
so that
"
They are at
right
angles to the
stitching line .
" They just nip into the fabric at
the stitching line .
" There is minimum pin extension
beyond the
stitching
line . Pins
shouldnot extend under both sides
of the presser foot, and should
never be placed on the underside
of the fabric in contact with the
feed dog .
The seam guide is
available for sep-
arate purchase .
