HEMSTITCH (HEIRLOOM STITCH)
For sewing tablecloths, decorative hems on clothes and deco-
rative stitching on shirtfronts.
A more attractive finish can be obtained if you use the “130/705H
Wing” needle when sewing these patterns.
If using a wing needle and the stitch width has been set to manual,
check that the needle will not touch the presser foot before start-
ing sewing.

open the area. Pull out 5 or 6 threads to leave a 3 mm (1/8'')

up, sew one edge of the open area.
4. With the right side of the fabric continuing to face you, turn the
fabric and sew the other edge of the frayed part, aligning the
