Seam Allowance Sewing Machine Tip

I saw a question asked on a sewing group about finding seam allowances on your machine. Some machines don't have the markings to show the common pattern allowances. This is my tip for you. I frequently use 5/8 inch, so I just taped paper to the plate as a guide. The contrast of the paper keeps me from getting the lines confused, as the fabric goes through. A lot of PDF patterns use 3/8inch , so if you use those, measure from your needle with a seam guide to find the true placement, and tape away!!
