INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
MAKING
SQUARE
CORNERS
AND
CURVES
A
square
corner
is
easily
made
in
the
following
manner:
1.
When
the
Piercer
is descending
after
the feeding oper-
tion takes place,
the
two
needles
are
brought
close to
the
Piercer.
2.
Allow
the
Piercer
to
enter
the
fabric.
3. Raise the
Presser
Foot
and
using
the
Piercer
as a pivot,
turn
the
fabric to a
right
angle.
4.
Turn
the
material
which
lies
back
of
the
Presser
Foot
over
away
from
Presser
Foot
and
Knives.
5.
Lower
Presser
Foot
and
with forefingers on material
at
each
side
of
Presser
Foot
even
with
the
needles
and
thumbs
in front of and slightly to side of Presser Foot, spread the
material
out
flat.
6. Start the machine slowly for a few stitches, aiding the
feeding of material with the hands just enough to bring
the
corner
out
back
of
the
Presser
Foot
so
that
the
fabric
on both sides of the Knives can be grasped by forefinger
and thumb of one hand to gently pull the material in aiding
the
feed, as is
customary
in hemstitching.
If the foregoing instructions are followed carefully, clean
cut
corners will be made
without
cutting
or
breaking
the
threads,
or
injuring
the fabric.
To
make
curves,
hold
the
fabric
flat
with
thumbs
and
fore
fingers of both hands, turning the fabric carefully with the hands
during
the
feeding operation,
taking
care to not
turn
it too far
at
any
one
time.
The
Knives
cut
the
second
bar
back
of
the
needles, which
permits
making
quite
small curves.
With
a little
practice, the operator will find this
eas}-^
to accomplish.
