HEMMING WITH LACE
SELECTOR: BL
RED LEVER: 3
THROAT PLATE:
FOOT HEMMER
Most of the popular kinds of lace edging and
insertion can be applied with the Foot Hemmer.
It is an excellent way to trim children's clothes
and to finish lingerie hems.
Lace Applieci Over Hem. Fold and start the
hem in the usual way. Starting about 1" down
from the end of the lace, place the selvage under
the needle and lower needle to hold lace firmly.
Raise the foot slightly and slip the lace under
the back portion of the foot, without disturbing
the position of the fabric. Stitch slowly, guiding
the fabric with the right hand, the lace with
the left. Take care not to stretch the lace.
Lace Applieci Under Hem. When using lace un­
derneath the fold of a hem, the procedure is the
same as when making a hemmed seam. Slip the
lace in from the left as you would the second
piece of fabric. This method is used where a
neat finish is desired on both sides of the material.
