Using the Guide Beam on a Baby Lock Machine to Make Half Square Triangles

No more drawing out half square triangles when you use the Baby Lock Chorus, Altair, or Solaris thanks to the guide beam feature! Kris will show you how to use the guide beam to easily make half square triangles that will cut your time in HALF! ;) (See what we did there?) Check it out below!

Amazing, right? We think we all need the guide beam in our sewing life! Once you've sewn the half square triangles, it's time to square them up! We highly recommend using these tools:
