edges together or baste
if
necessary . If you pin baste,
place pins as instructed onpage
27 so that the hinged presser foot
will ride freely over the
points .
Curved Seams
Follow the same steps as for straight
seams except :
Use a
short
stitch length for elas-
ticity and strength . For example,
if you use 12 stitches per inch for
straight seams, select 15 to 20
per inch to stitch curved seams
in the same fabric .
