SINGER W12 - Manual (Page 22)

J UST one more time saver which the busy user will eagerly wel­
come—a Scissors Gauge with which one can easily and accurately
cut bands of various widths, either straight or on the bias.
It’s an attachment, the value of which will be grasped on sight
by every sewer and highly appreciated for its thorough utility.
This attachment is included free with the attachments supplied
with this machine,
THE SCISSORS GAUGE
The Scissors Gauge is for cutting bands of various widths, either
straignt or bias. The sliding scale is adjustable for the w^idths of
band desired.
Place the gauge upon the scissors, as shown in the illustration,
slip the edge of the cloth in the gauge and proceed to cut the band.
The tape of the binder should always be cut on the bias, also the
piping which is used with the ruffier.
The letter F indicates the proper width for a
bias fold, which is to be one-half of an inch wide
when finished.
The letter B indicates the width for cutting bias
bands which are used with the binder.
C is for corded or plain piping. The piping is cut bias and folded
double to use with the ruffler.
With the aid of this gauge any
number of folds may be cut of
exactly the same width. Those
who have tried know the diffi­
culty of doing this with the scis­
sors alone. Everyone who uses
a bias gauge is delighted with it.
