allowance

To sew an even seam, start sewing so that the seam

allowance is to the right of the presser foot, and the

edge of the fabric is aligned with either the right edge

of the presser foot or a marking on the needle plate.

■ Aligning the fabric with the presser foot

Sew while keeping the right edge of the presser

foot a fixed distance from the edge of the fabric.

The markings on the needle plate show the

distance from the needle position of a seam sewn

with the straight stitch (left needle position). Sew

while keeping the edge of the fabric aligned with

a marking in the needle plate. The distance

between the markings in the upper scale is

1/8 inch (3 mm) and the distance between the

markings in the grid is 5 mm (3/16 inch).
