Turning Outside Corners
Turning Inside Corners
1. Stitch along one edge until you reach the corner.
Take one stitch off the edge of the fabric. (fig. A) (As
you approach the edge, you may want to stop and
manually turn the handwheel towards you.)
2. Raise the needle(s) to the highest position.
3. Clear the stitch fingers, and rotate the fabric to repo-
sition the needle at the previous row of stitching. (fig.
B) Gently pull up on all threads to remove slack and
resume stitching. (fig. C)
Note:
A loose thread loop at the corner is caused by
too much slack in the needle thread when clearing the
stitch fingers. Try again, turning corners takes a little
practice!
1. Reinforce loosely woven fabrics at the corner with
staystitching on the conventional sewing machine.
Clip to the corner. (fig. A)
2. Align the fabric edge with the blade, and stitch until the
blade reaches the corner, not the needles. Don't cut
into the corner. (fig. B)
3. Lower the needle(s) to anchor the fabric.
4. Raise the presser foot and straighten out the fabric,
forming a pleat at the corner. (fig. C)
5. Be sure the marked stitching line is straight, then con-
tinue serging the remaining edge. When done correct-
ly, the pleat will disappear after stitching. (fig. D)
