Pre-folding and trimming of fabric will help facilitate an
easier start with the narrow hemmer foot.
Fold the edge of the fabric over 1/8 inch twice for a total of
1/4 inch. Finger press folded edge for 2 inches.
Open fold and trim fabric as seen in Diagram (1). (2) by
1/4 inch (3) for easier insertion of the hem into the foot.

Refold the fabric and position under the foot.

Insert the needle into the fold by rotating the handwheel to-
ward you and lower the presser foot. Sew several stitches
and raise the presser foot. If needed hold onto tails of ma-
chine thread. Insert the fabric fold into the spiral opening of
the foot (4). Move fabric back and forth until the fold forms
a scroll shape.
Lower the presser foot and start sewing. Slowly guide the
raw edge of the fabric in front of the narrow hemming foot.
Guide fabric evenly into the scroll of the foot.

and 1/8” (0.3 cm) in width.
Trim the corner 3/16” (0.5 cm) by 1/4” (0.8 cm) for easier
insertion of the hem into the foot.
