HEMMING

Set Selector and stitdi width lever. At the very

edge of the fabric form a double Vs" fold. Crease
this fold for about 2". Draw the bobbin and needle

threads under the hemmer. Place the fabric under
the foot and stitch through the creased fold for seve
ral stitches. Hold the thread ends in the left hand
and guide the raw edge in front of the hem.mer
evenly into the scroll. Sew slowly, still holding

thread ends until the 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 hemming. The

same width of fabric must be kept in the scroll of
the hemmer at all times. A little practice will result

in perfectly formted hems.
