KEEPING SEAMS STRAIGHT
To keep the seam straight, use one of the
numbered guidelines on the plate. The num
bers indicate distance, in eighths of an inch,
from the needle. If you want a ®/8-inch seam,
for example, line up your fabric with the num
ber 5 guideline. Note that both number 5
guidelines (the most commonly used) are ex
tended on the slide plate for your conve
nience; 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
Vs inch and V inches from the fabric edge. It

is particularly useful for very narrow or very
wide seams.
Attaching Seam Guide
Place screw in hole to the right of the slide
plate: line up straight edge of guide with the
needle plate guideline for desired seam width
and tighten screw.
TURNING SQUARE CORNERS
To turn a square corner % inch from the
fabric edge, you need not measure or mark
the seam. Simply use the crosslines on the
slide plate.
• Line up your fabric with right or left
guideline 5 on the plate. Stitch seam, slow
ing speed as you approach corner.
• Stop stitching, with the needle down, when
the bottom edge of the fabric reaches the
cornering crosslines on the slide plate.
• Raise presser foot slightly and turn fabric on
needle, bringing bottom edge of fabric in
line with guideline 5.
• Lower the presser foot and stitch in new
direction.
