Pivoting at Comer

To keep the seam straight, use one of the

numbered guideNnes on the plate. The num
bers indicate distance, in eighths of an inch,

from the needle, if you want a 5/S-lnch

(1,6cm) seam, for example, line up your fabric

with the number 5 guideline. Note that both

number 5 guidelines (the most commonly
used) are extended on the slide plate for your

oonvenience; the crosslines 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

1/8-inch (Smm) and 1-1/4 inches (3cm) from

the fabric edge, it is particularly useful for

very narrow or very ’wide seams.

To insert seam guide on machine see page 8.
