TO TURN A CORNER

TO SEW BIAS SEAMS

Stop the machine when the needle eye,
making its upward stroke, is still in the

fabric. Raise the presser foot and turn

the work as desired, using the needle as
a pivot, then lower the presser foot.

Use a short stitch and as light a tension
as possible on the needle thread so that

the thread is loose enough in the seam
to allow the goods, to stretch if necessary.

BASTING

The longest stitch, No. 6 on the stitch
indicator, is satisfactory for basting and

is easily removed by clipping every sixth

stitch and withdrawing the long continuous
thread.

Machine basting is firmer ^ and more

even than that done by hand in addition

to being much quicker.
