HEMMING
We furnish with each machine
' ur assorted widths of hemmers-
Select the width desired’and substitute
it for the presser-foot. Take the cloth
in both hands, the right hand in front
of the hemmer and the left behind.
Place the edge of the cloth in the hem­
mer drawing it back and forth until the hem is formed, stopping
with the end under the needle. Drop presser-foot and commence to
sew. Guide the cloth so as to keep the hemmer full. To change
stitching near or far from edge, loosen thumb screw and move hem­
mer to right or left as desired and tighten screw,
BINDING
Remove the presser-foot and sub­
stitute the binder. Cut the binding
inch wide (on the bias if convenient).
Pass the binding through the scrolls
of the binder and under the presser-
foot. Place the edge of the goods to
be bound between the scrolls of the
binder, drop presser-foot, guide the
cloth with the left hand, and let the binding glide easily through the
fingers of the right. To change the stitching near or far from the
edge, move binder lug
A to right or left as desired.
Using No. 6 Folded Tape with Binder
Cut the end of the tape bias and thread it through the outside
slot in the scroll of the binder. The seam or edge to be bound is then
inserted in the binder in the regular way. Folded tape can be pur­
chased in any department store in a variety of colors.
UNDER BRAIDER
Substitute the under braider foot
(which is found in the box of attach­
ments) for the regular presser-foot.
Place under braider on machine same
as the shirring plate; draw the braid
under and through the tube and a lit­
tle past the needle. The pattern to be
braided should be stamped on the
wrong side of the cloth. Place the goods under the presser-foot same
as in regular sewing, following pattern carefully. This stitches the
braid on the cloth from the underside.
