The most commonly used line (1), the 5/8
Inch (1.6 cm) seam allowance, is extended
onto the slide plate.

mm) from rear of fabric. Align the right edge
with one d the seam guidelines on the needle
plate. Lower the presser foot.
Backstitch to the edge of the fabric for by
pushing in the reverse button boated in cen-
tre of the stitch length dial. Hold button in
until stitching reaches edge of fabric.
