Hemming With Lace
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 Applied Over Hem
• Fold and start hem in usual way.
• Starting about 1 inch down from end of
lace, place selvage under the needle,
then lower the needle to hold lace
firmly,
• Raise hemmer foot slightly and slip lace
under back part of foot.
• Stitch slowly, guiding fabric with right
hand and lace with left hand. Take
care not to stretch the lace.
Lace Applied Under Hem
When using lace underneath the fold
of a hem, the procedure is the same as
when making a hemmed seam (page 39).
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.
