hemmed for about two inches before inserting edge of goods
Enter material and guide it around scroll of hemmer using
both hands to draw it back and forth a few times, while
gradually feeding the cloth into the hemmer so as to fill the
scroll completely. Draw material back so that creased edge
fits around edge of scroll in hemmer and selvedge edges meet
Hold both under and upper threads and proceed to stitch. '
Should the stitching appear too far from turned edge of
hem loosen thumb screw and move hemmer toward the right.
If it appears dangerously close to turned edge of hem move
hemmer toward the left.
As material is stitched through the large hemmers the
turn at edge of hem is visible. Allow the hem to ride freely
through the hemmer, never drawing on the edge being turned,
but gently retarding the material under the hemmer, using
the left hand.
