Feed Dog

• This feature pulls your fabric forward

when sewing

• The more advanced machines may

have a higher number of feed dogs, or

may have additional abilities, like a built

in walking foot, to advance fabric from

the top and bottom at once

Plate Guides

•Use seam guides to help guide your

fabric as you are sewing

• Line the fabric with a guide, and look

at that as you sew, not at the needle

and fabric

• There are also add-on fabric guides,

and feet with guides for special tasks
