Hemming (cont')
Stitch slowly for several inches
until hem is well started. Hold
thread ends in back of foot with
the left hand and guide the raw
fabric edge into the mouth of the
scroll with the right hand.
Even feeding is essential to good
hemming. The same width of fabric
must be kept in the scroll of the
hemmer at all times.
Hemmed Seams
Hemmed seams are often substituted
for French seams where a fine narrow
seam is appropriate.
Allow a scant 1/4" seam
allowance.
With right sides of the fabric
together, place the upper layer a
scant 1/8" to the left of the lower
layer.,
Insert the two fabric edges into
the hemmer and proceed as for a
plain hem.
