HEMMING
Set Selector and stitdi width lever. At the very
edge of the fabric form a double Vs" fold. Crease
this fold for about 2". Draw the bobbin and needle
78
threads under the hemmer. Place the fabric under
the foot and stitch through the creased fold for seve­
ral stitches. Hold the thread ends in the left hand
and guide the raw edge in front of the hem.mer
evenly into the scroll. Sew slowly, still holding
thread ends until the hem is well started.
Soft fabrics will enter the scroll best with the foot
down; firm^, crisp materials with the foot raised.
Even feeding is essential to good hemming. The
same width of fabric must be kept in the scroll of
the hemmer at all times. A little practice will result
in perfectly formted hems.
