HOW TO USE ACCESSORIES
NARROW HEMMER. With the needle at its
highest position, replace regular presser foot with
narrow hemmer (Fig. 30). For a plain narrow hem,
make a 1/8 inch double fold for about two inches
along edge of fabric. Hold each end of the two inch
fold, slip underneath hemmer. Bring fold up into the
scroll of hemmer, draw forward to end and fasten with
point of needle. Lower presser bar lifter. Gently pull
ends of thread as you start stitching.
Guide material slightly to right, and it will take
a double turn through scroll.
LACE TRIMMED HEM. To sew a narrow hem and
attach lace in one stitching, insert lace in the slot next
to needle (Fig. 31). Sew hem as above, guiding lace
under needle and hem into scroll.
LACE EDGE WITH INVISIBLE STITCHING. Hold
lace 1/8 inch from raw edge on right side of fabric.
Insert both in scroll as for plain narrow hem (Fig.
32). Let hem roll over a little fullness in lace by
feeding it freely under scroll.
FRENCH SEAM. With right sides together, place top
piece of material 1/8 inch inside edge of lower piece. Fig. 32
Insert in hemmer scroll, allowing hem to roll over and sew in top fabric, making French seam.
FLAT FELLED SEAM. Open out French seam and insert rolled edge in scroll of hemmer.
Edgestitch to lay seam flat.
HAND ROLLED EFFECT. Use a narrow zigzag stitch, just wide enough to catch both
edges of the narrow, rolled hem.
