THE FOOT HEMMER

The narrow hemmer

forms and stitches a per

fectly turned hem without

basting or pressing. It is

attached to the machine

in place of the regular

presser foot.

APPLICATIONS

Fine hems Hemming with lace

Edging ruffles Lace insertion

Sheer seams Lingerie finishes

• Hold thread ends in left hand and guide

raw edge in front of hemmer evenly

into scroll.

• Sew slowly, still holding thread ends

until 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 hem

ming. The same width of fabric must be

kept in the scroll of the hemmer at all

times. A little practice will result in per

fectly formed hems.

Procedure —

• Attach foot hemmer to presser bar in

place of regular presser foot.

• At very edge of fabric form a double

Vs" fold. Crease this fold for about 2".

• Draw bobbin and needle threads under

hemmer.

• Place fabric under foot and stitch

through creased fold for several stit-

ches.
