under, the double edge is covered with zigzag stitches,
and the projecting fabric cut off. In this manner, opening
of the fabric is made impossible.
If special, clean-edge lace borders are desired for
sewing curtains, bed linens, etc., a special foot, No.
41746, is available at extra cost. This curls the edge
of the fabric under as the lace is sewn on. (Fig. 27). By
holding the lace back, or letting it go forward, lace bor-
ders can be shirred or sewn on flat.
23. Even hems (Fig. 30)
Even hems are sewn by using hemming foot, No. 41246,
(Fig. 28), or with the larger hemming foot, No. 41248,
(Fig. 29), with the machine set for straight zigzag stitch.
With light tension and medium-sized zigzag stitches, the
rolled edge of the fabric remains even and smooth. With
tight tension and broad zigzag stitches an undulating
rolled hem is obtained, especially desirable in the case
of knitted silk goonds. Special effects are obtained by
using thread of different shades.
