Angle Scales on the Needle Plate
You can easily seam patchwork pieces at the desired
angle without marking, by using the angle scales on the
needle plate.
The angle scales are marked at 45, 60, 90 and 120
degrees.
Use the broken lines when piecing the patchwork pieces
with the 1/4˝ seam foot O as illustrated.
