The Bias Gauge will be found very useful (especially in the case of soft materials) when cutting bias strips from 7/16 inch to
1 3/8 inches in width.
This may be done by placing the bias gauge upon the point of the scissors and setting the blued indicator to the width desired.
The line F is the point at which to set the blued indicator for facings, the line B for binding, and the line C for cording or piping. Insert the material in the gauge with the edge against the blued indicator, and hold as shown. Bias binding for use with the Binder Attachment should be cut 15/16 inch wide, and to do this the indicator should be set midway between the lines F and B.
