Hemstitching, also known as French hand sewing, was
F
traditionally only a hand sewn art. There are several
stitches to choose from that will add an "old world
3/7
charm". Best results require the use of linen, cotton or
a blend of linen/cotton.
Thread machine, needle and bobbin with a fine cotton
embroidery thread (50 weight or finer). Insert a
universal needle size #100, #110 or a wing needle (see
cautions below). Use spray starch and press to
stabilize fabric.
CAUTION: Only insert a wing needle when sewing the
stitches listed below. A wing needle is wider than a
regular needle. Hand turn the flywheel a few times to
ensure needle does not touch needle plate. If needle
touches needle plate, narrow the stitch width.
CAUTION: Built-in needle threader does not function if a
wing needle is inserted.
