Stitching Line
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
1
V
4
inches from the fabric edge. It
is particularly useful for very narrow or very
wide seams.
