Hemming
Clip off the right-hand corner of the goods so that
the edge will take the roll easily, then lead the edge
into the opening of the hemmer and pull or slide it
along
under
the
needle.
After
lowering
the
presser
bar, sew two or three stitches and then draw gently
to the rear until the feed dog catches the hem. In
order
to
produce
a
smooth,
even
hem,
permit
the
work
to
feed
quickly
through
the hemmer, by hold
ing
the
goods
in
such
a
manner
so
that
the
scroll
of
the hemmer is filled.
If
too
much
goods
run
into
the
hem
mer, the edge must
be moved slightly to the right, and if not enough
goods enter the hemmer, hold the edge slightly more
to the left.
