guide aligns with the seam that has already
been sewn.
Be sure to securely tighten the screws
with the screwdriver, otherwise the
needle may touch the presser foot,
causing it to bend or break.

balance wheel toward you and check that
the needle does not touch the presser
foot. If the needle hits the presser foot,
the needle may bend or break.
