HEMMING

Raise the needle to its highest point.
Raise the presser bar, remove the regular presser foot, and attach a hemmer foot.
Fold over the edge of the fabric approximately 1/8 inch wide, then fold it over again In the same
way for a length of about 2 inches.
Insert this folded end into the spiral-formed opening (scroll) of the hemmer foot.
Move the fabric back and forth until the hem forms itself in the scroll.
Pull the fabric toward you until the beginning of the
hem is just below the needle.
Guide the fabric into the hemmer foot while proceeding.
Note: Do not crowd fabric into the scroll, nor leave
the scroll only partly filled with fabric.
Instead of a straight stitch, you can also use a zigzag
stitch for this hemming operation.
Be sure, however, to adjust the width of the zigzag
stitch so that it is as wide as the hem itself.
