BINDING WITH BIAS CUT BINDING
When using bias
binding that has
been
cut 7
/
8"
or
15/
16"
wide it
is entered
through the
scroll of
the Binder
as shown in
illustration,
Figure

Adjust binder to right
or to
left
so that
stitching
appears
neatly
close to folded
edge of
binding. let
the
binding ride
easily through
the
right hand while
guiding material to be
bound
well
into the binder, between the
scrolls, with
the
left
hand.
When
binding
scallops
make
sure
that
curved edge of
scallop is
in the binder,between the
scrolls,
close to the needle
The
smallest scallops
can be bound neatly if care is
exercised
at
this point.
To
apply
additional
rows of
binding as
a trimming, place
garment
to be
trimmed under
the binder
and as
binding
is
being stitched slightly retard

QUILTING
You
will
find
a hole in the presser bar just above the
presser foot,
loosen
the
screw
in
back
of this hole and pass
the quilter guide
through the
hole
so
that
it
rests
to
the
right of
the
needle as
shown in
Figure
20.
Set it to the
desired space between
stitching
and high enough
to allow
Figure 20
the goods
to
pass freel
y
und
e
r
it,
then fasten the
quilter
guide
securely
by tightening the screw. Replace regular
foot with
the
quilter foot.
In
starting
to quilt
use the
oute
r edge of the cloth
for
the
first
guide
or
else crease
the cloth on the right, then
let
the
quilter guide
follow
the crease. Quilt
the remainder
by keep-
ing
the guide in a fine
and over
any
one row already stitched.
To
obtain the very lovely puffed quilting use
as many
thicknesses
of
sheet wadding as
desired
over the fabric. A
piece
of
cheese
cloth placed
over the wadding
helps to
in-
sure the even
pucker
so
desirable
on comfortables or
quilts.
For
extremely
thick padding
release
the pressure on
the
quilter foot
by
turning the
Pressure
Adjusting Screw (Fig. 7)
with a screw driver several turns to the
left.
