Seam guides on the needle plate
The seam guides on the needle plate help you
to measure seam allowance.
The numbers indicate the distance between
the center needle position and the seam guide.

Turning a square corner
The cornering guide helps you maintain a 5/8"
(1.6 cm) seam allowance when sewing a corner.
When the fabric edge facing you lines up with
the cornering guide as illustrated, stop stitching
and lower the needle into the fabric by turning
the handwheel toward you.
Raise the presser foot and pivot the fabric so
the edge of the fabric will align with the 5/8"
(1.6 cm) seam guide.
Lower the presser foot and start stitching in
the new direction.
