Additional information about rolled hemming
1. Hold the thread chain when you begin sewing to keep
it from curling into the seam.
2. Place a slight tension on the material in the sewing
direction and a finer seam finish can be btained.
3. The minimum overedge stitch width that can be
obtained for rolled hemming is approximately
1/16-inch (1.5 mm) since the cutting width cannot be
set below 9/64-inch (3.5 mm)
To secure the rolled hem thread chain:
Apply a small drop of liquid seam sealant to the end of the
seam. Allow to dry, then cut the chain close to the
stitches.
☞
Note: Test the liquid sealant for color fastness before
using.
