INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE ATTACHMENTS

FOOT HEMMER - Hemming

Raise the needle to its highest point. Remove the presser foot and attach the foot hem mer in
its place (see Fig. 18). Clip off the right hand corner of the cloth, so that it will take the roll
easily, turn up the edge about a quarter of an inch, insert it in the mouth of the hemmer and
draw or push it along until under the needle. Then let down the presser bar and after taking
two or three stitches, draw gently on the ends of the threads to help the work along till the
feed catches it. In order to produce a smooth even hem, the mouth of the hemmer must be
kept just full.

FIG. 18

Fig. 18 shows also what is known as a bag seam or fell, made by passing two pieces of fab-
ric through the hemmer together and hemming them down.
