BASIC TECHNIQUES

TURNING OUTSIDE CORNERS
WITHOUT CUTTING THREADS

1. When you reach the fabric edge, stop

stitching with the needle above the fabric.

2. Raise the presser foot and gently pull on the

thread chain just enough to clear the stitch
finger.

3. Turn the fabric, lower the presser foot and

begin stitching in the new direction. Fig. 1.

NOTE: When overlocking and trimming at the

same time, cut the fabric along the new
stitching line for about 3 cm, before
turning the fabric. Fig. 2.

TURNING CURVED EDGES

For inside curves, guide fabric gently with
trimming line of the fabric under the right front of
the presser foot (or a little to the left), applying
pressure at point A in the direction of the arrow
with your left hand, and at the same time applying
a little opposite pressure at point B with your right
hand. Fig.3.

For outside curves place under the presser foot in
a similar manner but applying the pressure in the
opposite directions. Fig. 4.

REMOVING STITCHES FROM SEWN
FABRIC

To remove stitches already sewn, snip off needle
thread (s) at intervals and pull out looper threads.
