To Turn a Corner

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 and resume sewing.

Basting

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

and is easily removed by clipping every sixth stitch and withdrawing the long

continuous thread. Machine basting is firmer, more even and much quicker than

hand basting.

To Sew Bias Seams

Use a short stitch when sewing bias or curved seams to increase the elasticity of

the seam and to prevent seam failure under strain. No change in tensions is

required.

To Remove the Work

Stop the machine with the thread take-up lever 5, Fig. 14 at its highest point.

Raise the presser foot by means of presser bar lifter R, Fig. 23, draw the fabric

back and to the left and sever the threads on thread cutter S, Fig. 23. Place

ends of threads under presser foot.

Caution: When the machine is not in use, raise the presser foot by means of

presser bar lifter R to prevent injury to the presser foot and the feed T, Fig. 23.
