How Do I Sew A 90* Angle?

[Nooj]

While practicing with my Aerostitch I tried sewing some 90* turns, and it hasn't turned out well... I'm wondering what I'm missing. I get to the point of the turn, lift the presser foot (with needle still down) and turn my piece of work- and the corner stitch won't lock it. It basically angles itself to the next hole.

Here's what I mean:

I'm new to sewing machines, and apologize if this is a basic newbie question, but... What do I do??

Before you lift the presser foot, make sure the needle is in the upward part of the cycle.

I really slow it down when I approach the spot where I intend to turn or pivot, the last two stitches are done by using the hand wheel.

At the last stitch, turn the wheel til you see the needle start it's upward movement, then make the turn/pivot.

Ok, that makes sense. Like I'm making the turn before the "lock" has occured, right? I don't really have a handwheel... but I believe I can do what you're talking about. I'll give that a try and see how it works- Thanks for the response!
