■Patchwork (Crazy Quilts)
Turn back the desired width of fabric, place it over a
different piece of fabric, and then sew the two fabric
pieces together so the stitching bridges both pieces.
■Sewing Curves
Shorten the stitch length setting to obtain a fine
stitch. Sew slowly, keeping the seams parallel with
the fabric edge as you guide the fabric around the
curve.
