HEMMING AND SEWING ON LACE IN ONE
OPERATION WITH THE FOOT HEMMER
Our foot hemmer is slotted at the needle hole. This for
the purpose of making
a
fine hem and sewing on lace in one
figure
11
operation. A great time saver. You proceed to make the hem
the same as given in the
explanation
on fine hemming and to
sev: on
the lace
with the same operation,
simply
insert the
~omt
of the lace face down at the beginning of the hemming
In
the
slotted
hole, carefully guiding the lace with the right
hand and proceed slowly to see
that the
goods
properly
feeds into
the
hemmer.
The French
application of
lace
w
ith
stitching invisible also
calls
for
the
use of
the narrow hemmer.
Enter
material
to
be
h_emmed
as
described for regular
hemming,
but with right
side of material face up. Place lace under
Hemmer
from
the
fe_ft
allowing right side of
lace
to
face
right side of
matenal.
~eed
lace into
Hemmer
sufficiently so
that
stitching
of
hem
Will
enclose
and
hold
lace
at
the
same time. Press
hem back on wrong
side
of fabric and
no
stitching will
appear on right
side.

FELLING
Remove the
regular
presser foot and
in its
place aHach
the foot hemmer. A fell
is made with
the foot hemmer as
illustrated here by placing
two
pieces of
goods with
the face
figure
12
side together. The lower
piece of
the
goods
should
project
towards the right about one
eighth of an
inch beyond the
edge of the
upper
piece
of
goo<!s. Then place these pieces
under the foot hemmer using the
foot
hemmer just as
you
would the regular presser foot and
sew
a
seam
about one
sixteenth
of an inch from the edge
of
the upper piece of
goods.
After completing the
seam,
open out the
seam
so
that
the face
side
of
the
goods
is
down or flat
on
the
machine.
If the work has been carefully done no trimming will be
necessary but if the edge of the lower piece
of
goods pro-
jects upwards an uneven amount, the high points
should
be
trimmed off. In other
words,
have a uniform amount of
material
to make the fell. To
start
the fell as illustrated
above insert the raw edges of the material that are on the
upper side, in the foot hemmer as illustrated above. When
the work is completed and
if
ca
refully
done
it
will be a
neat finished fell.
