• Turn up a 2" hem along one of the 6" edges and press.
• Insert a 3.0/80 double needle.
• Thread the needles with two different colors of thread.
• Place the folded edge of the fabric along the 1" guideline on the right side of the stitch plate.
• Select stitch #1; sew half of the hem.
Note: To be sure the needles will not strike the foot, turn the handwheel to "walk" the
machine through the first stitch. Narrow the width as needed to avoid breaking needles.
• Select stitch #9 or experiment with similar stitches; stitch the remainder of the seam.
• Trim excess fabric from the wrong side of the hem.
• Check Feet-ures, Unit A for detailed information on working with Double and Triple needles.
Note: This is a good stitch to use when hemming T-shirts and pajamas. You can use
other stitches with a double needle for other types of fabrics.
• Press and mount the sample.
