THE "FEED DOGS'"
KEEP THE FABRIC
MOVING
The Feed Dogs (42) are at work reside your machine
under the Needleplate (6) creating an upward force
that moves fabric under presser foot. As the stitch is
being set into the fabric, the feed comes up to help
presser foot keep fabric taut, then to advance fabric
one stitch at a time. Feed automatically is controlled by

situations- for example, when freehand writing,

presser foot, Attach darning plate over needleplate

AND THE
"SEAM GUIDES"
KEEP YOU ON
TARGET
CORNERING GUIOES
Seam guides are printed on needleplate, at
both sides of needle, to help you line up the
fabric and keep it straight. The standard
seam width is 5/8°', So these lines are em-
phasized, easy to follow. Also the cross lines
on the Bobbin Cover Plate (4) are "cornering
guides" to help when turning a square
corner 5/8" from the fabric edge. (For details
on cornering, see page t5)
