1 .Prepare hem in the usual way. It is advisable
to baste the hem. Place the basting at least
1 .3cm (1/2 inch) below the edge of the hem
allowance.
2. With the wrong side of the work uppermost,
turn the hem under, creating a soft fold from
the top edge of the hem.
3. Position the hem under the presser foot.
Stitch so that the straight stitches fall on the
hem allowance and the sideward stitches
pierce the soft fold of the work. Adjust stitch
width, if necessary.
