The circular pivot pin is inserted into free arm and
provides a pivot point to sew perfect curves or circles for
doilies or large scallops.

the extension table. Lower presser foot and sew. Smooth
the fabric out evenly from the center to the front of the foot
by hand.

NOTE:
Light to medium weight fabrics will need a stabilizer to
sew the circle/curve correctly.
