Use a thread which is not too heavy and
matches the material being hemstitched
(preferably a No. 50 embroidery thread).
Insert a System 130 Zwi-Ho needle.
Make sure the needle and bobbin threads
are the same size. The threading procedure
is the same as for cording work. Slightly in
crease the needle thread tension. The hem-
stitching effect is produced by the left wing
needle penetrating the fabric. Turn the
fabric by half a turn and sew the second
seam, guiding the material so that the wing
needle enters the needle holes it has made
in the fabric previously.
You can produce a nice hemstitchin
9 effect
along the hemmed edge of the fabric by
guiding the material so that the right needle
stitches into the fabric close to the hem.
