When setting a sleeve, the tubular bed permits the operator to hold the seam in an arc while stitching. The eased fullness is more evenly distributed within the bias areas of the sleeve cap. The sleeve of the garment is tuned with right side inward and the armhole seam is stitched with the sleeve held next to the presser foot while the bulk of the garment rests on the table. Garments with welt or flat felled seams at the arms-eye are more accurately stitched on the 222K Machine since the tubular bed reaches inside the garment, making the line for stitching clearly visible.
