Stitch length: Medium to maximum.
Insert twin hemstitching needle, System 130 Zwi-Ho, as instructed on
page 15. Turn out needle set screw-a little further than for ordinary
needles.
The thread size, threading procedure and thread tension are the same
as for cording work (see page 45).
Beautiful hemstitching effects on blouses, dresses, handkerchiefs, doilies
and so forth, can be obtained with Pfaffs System 130 twin needle. The
harder the fabric yarn, the more pronounced the hemstitching will be.
For this reason, batiste, organdy, georgette, etc. are best suited to
hemstitching, while woolly fabrics are not recommended.
Fold fabric to mark seamline or trace seamline on fabric. Sew first row.
Guide fabric so that wing needle stitches along traced line. At the end
of the seam, turn fabric half a turn and sew second row. Guide fabric
in such a way that wing needle penetrates the needle holes it has made
and enlarged previously.
Imitation hemstitching thus requires at least two operations. If desired,
additional straight or curved ornamental seams may be stitched parallel
to the first one. Exciting decorative effects may be obtained by using
van-colored embroidery and darning threads.
