Fold fabric with wrong sides together. Lower the needle
into the fabric 0.1 – 0.2 cm inside the folded edge.
Lower the foot and turn the screw to align the guide on
the foot with the folded edge.
Sew slowly while guiding the folded edge along the
guide.
Open the fabric and press the tucks to one side.

Use a lightweight fabric (tricot, for example).
Fold and stitch on the bias.
When the needle swings to the right, allow the needle to
just clear the folded edge of the fabric.
NOTE:
Increase the needle thread tension for more exaggerated
results.
