NARROW AND ROLLED HEMMING
The machine trims fabric, folds back the edge and sews a narrow hem (overedge). The width of the narrow
overedge is 1.5 mm (about 1/16") and is used for overedging light and medium weight fabrics.
Two variations of the rolled overedge hem can be sewn with this machine by changing the thread tension. Both
methods are used with light and medium weight fabrics.
Method B (page 15) gives a softer finish by pulling the interlocking threads to the wrong side.

The machine comes with a standard overedge throat plate set to the machine.
