SINGER 1050 - Manual (Page 32)

Keeping Seams Straight
To keep the seam straight, use one of the numbered guide­
lines A on the needle plate. Line 5, the most commonly used,
is extended on the slide plate for you convenience.
The crosslines B serve as guides when stitching a square
corner.
For extra help in keeping the seam straight, you may wish
to use the seam guide. Because it allows you to guide stitches
evenly between 3 mm (Vs inch) and 32 mm (1 'A inches) from
the fabric edge, it is particularly useful for very narrow or very
wide seams.
To attach seam guide to machine, refer to page 7.
Turning Square Comers
To turn a square corner 1.6 cm (Vs inch) from the fabric edge,
you need not measure or mark the seam. Simply use the
crosslines A on the slide plate.
• Line up your fabric with right or left guideline 5 on the plate.
Stitch seam, slowing speed as you approach corner.
e Stop stitching, with the needle down, when the bottom
edge of the fabric reaches the cornering crosslines on the
slide plate.
e Raise presserfoot slightly and turn fabric on needle, bringing
bottom edge of fabric in line with guideline 5.
• Lower the presserfoot and stitch in new direction.
