Hemming dresses and skirts by hand is a laborious task. You can do it easily
on your Pfaff on medium and heavy fabrics. Use zigzag foot No. 44088 with
blindstitch guide No. 46669, which you can buy at your Pfaff store. Attach the
guide so that its vertical flange goes through the sewing foot slot. Use a No. 70
needle, a loose upper tension and thin thread in the needle.
Next, follow this procedure:
Turn fabric wrong side up. Fold selvaged material once (Fig. 1), unselvaged
fabric twice (Fig. 2). It is advisable to press or baste hem. Guide work evenly,
holding top hem edge against the vertical flange of the blindstitch guide.
Set dial A so that needle takes left stitch exactly in the folded edge and right stitch up
to or over the hem edge. When hem is finished, stitches will not be visible on top side.
