1. When making this seam, the garment must
first be fitted and edge of material trimmed,
allowing for about 1/8 inch seam. Insert the
two edges of material, right sides together, in
hemmer in same manner as a single hem as
shown in Fig, 38. If material is bulky, place
edge of upper piece of material about 1/8 inch
to left of edge of under piece.
2. The free edge of hemmed seam may be
stitched flat to garment, if desired. To do this,
open work out flat, wrong side up, then insert
hem in scroll of hemmer, holding edge of hem
in position while it is being stitched. If seam
is stitched flat to garment, one row of stitching
is visible on the right side.
