(1)Determine how much of the fabric will be folded up. (2)Fold up the fabric the desired amount, and then iron it

in place.

(3)Use a ruler to measure, and then use a fabric marker to mark the top of the fabric to see where the edge of the folded fabric is positioned.

(4)Place the bottom of the presser foot onto the top of fabric, and then check that the drawn mark is just barely to the right of the left needle.

(5)Sew exactly on the mark.

(6)After sewing is finished, refer to “Removing the fabric from the machine” in “V. Sewing” on page 15 for details on taking care of the thread.

will prevent the seam from tearing.

fabric from the machine” in “V. Sewing” on page 15.
