1. Prepare hem in the usual way. It Is advisable

to baste the hem. Place the basting at least

1.3cm (1 /2 inch) below the edge of the hem

allowance.

2. With the wrong side of the work uppermost,

turn the hem under, creating a soft fold from
the top edge of the hem.

3. Position the hem under the presser foot.

Stitch so that the straight stitches fall on the

hem allowance and the sideward stitches
pierce the soft fold of the work. Adjust stitch

width. If necessary.
