serted at right	angles	to seam	line,		Tip	of	pin	should	just
touch seam	line. Sew	over	tip	of	pins.		Pins	must	not

come In contact with feed dogs: Never pin on the under- side of the fabric. Sew slowly. If in doubt about sewing

over pins, remove each p=n as you approach it.

"Stay-stitching"		is a	form	of
temporary	seaming	that	prevents

stretching of curved edges of gar- ments. Usually this is on a single layer of fabric, so reduce top thread tension slightly to prevent pucker- ing. Baste about '/Caway from in- tended seamline.
