STITCH LENGTH CONTROL
The best length straight stitch to use for
medium weight fabrics is 10 to 12
stitches per inch.
To control stitch length, just turn your
control dial as shown.
When you have two seams crossing
each other with considerable thickness,
sew slowly and carefully so seam will be
strong as possible. It may be necessary
to lengthen your stitch slightly and
reduce the pressure on the presser foot
if you are sewing very thick fabrics.

FASTENING A SEAM
Be sure both threads are drawn back
under the presser foot. Lower needle
into fabric about 1/2 inch from beginn-
ing of seam. Push the reverse stitch
control to the right and stitch in reverse
until needle reaches beginning of seam.
Release control and complete seam.
When you reach the end, push the
control to the right and sew back over
1/2 inch of completed seam.
TURNING A SQUARE CORNER
To turn a square corner 5/8" from
the fabric edge, stop stitching with
the needle tip piercing the fabric,
when reaching the cornering guide
as shown. Raise the presser foot,
turn fabric. New stitching line will
align with 5/8" seam guide on side
of needle plate. Lower the presser foot
and begin stitching in new direction.
