When you reach the corner, leave the needle in the fabric, raise
the presser foot lever, and then turn the fabric. Lower the
presser foot lever and continue sewing.

Before you begin sewing, baste the corner. After turning the
fabric at the corner, continue sewing while pulling the basting
thread out toward the back.
If the presser foot angles up as it approaches a thick seam,
leave the needle in the fabric and raise the presser foot lever.
After levelling off the sewing area by placing a piece of folded
fabric or cardboard under the back of the presser foot, lower the
presser foot lever and continue sewing.
