You can use the roll hem/hemming sewing foot
to easily hem fine to medium materials, e.g.
blouses, silk scarves and flounces. Hemming
using the roll hemmer stops the edges from
fraying and creates a clean, durable edge.
1. Raise the sewing foot and needle to its
highest position and replace the existing foot
with the hemming foot.
2. Fold the start of the hem around 2 mm in
with a double fold.
3. Insert this folded hem into the coil of the roll
hemming foot.
4. Carefully and slowly, sew a few stitches,
preferably by turning the hand wheel.
5. If the start of the hem was pulling into the
foot, carefully start sewing the hem.
6. Always hold the edge of the fabric somewhat
over the left-hand side of the sewing foot, to
stop the fabric slipping out of the coil.
7. • Make sure that the fabric does not slip
under the right-hand side of the sewing foot.
Note:
The hem can be inserted in the hemming foot more easily if you hold the end of
the fabric at a slight angle.
Before you start sewing, fix the hem with safety pins or iron down the start of the
hem.
For this work, you need to use suitable materials and have some experience in
order to obtain the best results.
