With

in
its

replace
the
presser
foot
with
the
narrow hemmer (Fig. 32). For a plain narrow hem. Make a 1/8 inch double fold
for about 2 inches along the edge of fabric. Hold each end of 2-inch fold, slip
underneath
hemmer.
Bring
fold
up
into
the
scroll
of
hemmer,

to
end
and
fasten
with
point
of
the
needle.
Lower
the
presser
foot.
Gently
pull the end of thread as you start stitching. Guide the material slightly to right,
and it will automatically take a double turn through scroll.
NOTi;
Do
not
crowd
the
material
into
scroll

partly filled by the material. Feed just enough material into the hemmer
foot
to

out
the
scroll.
Also
you
can
make
the
zigzag
hemming
operation, by adjusting the width of zigzag seam to be as wide as the
hem itself. Using a very long stitch and tighten the tensions will produce
a shell stitch. (Fig. 33)
