Prepare the hem by folding it and pressing it
in the usual way. You may want to baste the
hem to hold it in place, as shown. If so, be
sure to place the basting at least 1/2 inch
(12mm) below the top edge of the hem
allowance.
With the wrong side of fabric uppermost, turn
the hem under, as shown, creating a soft fold
from the top edge of hem. Pin or baste all
three layers together in place.
Position the hem under the presser foot with
the soft fold resting against wall of the guide,
as shown.
* Lower the presser toot and begin sewing
making certain the straight stitches fall on
the edge of the hem and the zig-zag
stitches just pierce the soft fold of the work.
Adjust stitch width if necessary. While
stitching, guide the hem edge in a straight
line and feed the soft fold evenly against
the wall of the guide.
»If layers of fabric are pinned together,
remove pins as you come to them. Do not
sew over pins.
