Fold the fabric as illustrated with the wrong
side uppermost.
Place the fabric under the foot. Turn the
handwheel forwards by hand until the
needle swings fully to the left. It should just
pierce the fold of the fabric. If it does not,
adjust the stitch width accordingly.
Adjust the guide (b) by turning the knob (a)
so that the guide just rests against the fold.
Sew slowly, guiding the fabric carefully
along the edge of the guide.
Turnover the fabric.
