Start the hem and, when it is well started, raise the needle to its highest point. Raise the
hemmer to relieve the pressure on the hem, and pass the end of the lace through the slot in
the side of the attachment and over the hem, as shown.
Take care that the hem is not displaced in the hemmer, and that the needle goes through
both the lace and hem. Then let down the presser bar and guide the lace over the front of the
hemmer, taking care to keep it well into the slot.
