1.
Raise foot, loosen screw, and slip blindstitch
hem
guide
from
the
front
between
the
screw
and
the
shank
of
the
foot.
Make
sure
the
underside
of
the
guide
clears
the
slide
plate
and the front of the foot. Tighten screw with
coin.
2.
Prepare hem in the usual way. It is advisable
to baste the hem. Place the basting at least
1.3 cm (V
2
inch) below the edge of the hem
allowance
to
avoid
catching
the
flange
of
the guide as you stitch.
3.
With the wrong side of the work uppermost,
turn
the
hem
under,
creating
a
soft
fold
from the top edge of the hem.
4. Position the hem under the foot with the soft
fold
resting
against
the
wall
of
the
guide.
Make
sure
the
flange
of
the
guide
is
be
tween the soft fold and top of hem, as shown.
5.
Lower the foot and stitch so that the straight
stitches
fall
on
the
hem
allowance
and
the
zig-zag
stitches
pierce
the
soft
fold
of
the
work.
Adjust
stitch
width
if
necessary.
While
stitching,
guide
the
hem
edge
in
a
straight
line
and
feed
the
soft
fold
evenly
against
the wall of the guide.
