KEEPING SEAMS STRAIGHT
To keep seams straight, use one of the guidelines on
the needle plate. The most commonly used line (1) is
extended onto the slide plate. The crosslines (2) serve
as guides when stitching square corners.
TURNING SQUARE CORNERS
To turn a square corner, use crosslines on slide plate.
• Line up fabric with extended guidelines on needle
plate and stitch seam, slowing speed as you
approach corner.
• When bottom of fabric reaches cornering crosslines
(2) on slide plate, stop stitching.
• Be sure needle is down in fabric.
• Raise presser foot slightly. Turn fabric bringing bot-
tom edge in line with guideline (1).
• Continue stitching seam.
Sewing Curved Seams
• Baste seamline.
• Use a short stitch for elasticity and strength.
• Guide fabric to follow curve.
