KEEPING SEAMS STRAIGHT

To keep the seam straight, use one of the numbered guide lines on the needle plate. The numbers indicate distance from the needle at its center position.

The guide line on the bobbin cover plate is 1/4" (6mm) seam guide line which is used for piecing quilt blocks and also for narrow seams, such as those in doll clothes or baby garments.
