THE SEAM GUIDE
# # % % "% i®
The seam guide aids
in attaining uniform­
ity of seam width. It
provides for stitching to be spaced at any dis­
tance between to 1^4" from the edge of the
fabric.
APPLICATIONS
Seams
Top Stitching
Blind Stitching
Decorative Stitching
The attachment is used in connection with a
presser foot.
It is secured to the bed of the machine in
either of the threaded holes to the right of the
needle.
SEAMS
To guide seam stitching straight arid parallel
to the edge of the fabric, adjust the attachment
for proper seam width. Align the. guide with the
presser foot. (Set Selector at AK, Red Lever at 3.)
Pin seana edges and baste if necessary. Hand
basting can be eliminated on easy-to-handle fab­
rics. Place pins with the points toward the seam
edge so they nip into the frt>ric at the stitching
line. The hinged presser foot will ride freely
over the points. Guide the fabric edges lightly
against the guide while stitching.
