Hem - Viking Interlude 445 User Manual

Hem

For sewing hems we recommend that
you use a straight stitch for woven
fabric, leather and vinyl, and stretch
stitches for stretch fabrics.
Jeans Hem
When sewing over seams in extra heavy
fabric or a blue jeans hem, the foot
can tip as the machine climbs over the
seam. The needle can hit the tipped
foot and break. Use the clearance plate
to balance the height of the hem as you
sew.
Fabric: Jeans fabric
445
One side of the plate is thicker than
the other. Use the side that suits the
thickness of the seam best.
Stretch Hem
Fabric: Stretch medium
445
Fold a hem to the wrong side and stitch
with fl atlock stitch on the right side.
Trim away excess fabric.
Use this technique for belt loops as
well.
