You can
make
neat
hems
with
straight
or
zigzag
stitches,
depending
on
the
material.
Fold
over edge
of
fabric
about
i/a”,
place
fabric
under
hemmer
foot
so
that
the
needle
stitches
in
the
material
about
/2”
short
of
its
rear
edge
and close
to
the
folded
edge.
Sew
backwards
as
far as
the
rear
fabric
edge.
Remove
the
work,
but do
not
trim
the
threads
(sketch
1).
Draw
the
fabric
into
the scroll
of
the
hemmer
by
pulling
both
threads
backwards.
Feed
fabric
so
that
the
hem
edge
is
in
line
with
the
left edge
of
the
hemmer
scroll
(top
ill.).
Avoid
ugly
ends
by
slowing
down
feeding.
To
do
this, press
the
fabric
against
the
needle
plate
shortly
before
you
come
to
the end
of
the
hem
(see
ill, at
center).
If
you
want
to
hem
several
edges,
hem
first edge
to
within
1/2”
of
corner,
cut
into
hem,
turn
end
outwards
and
cut
away
excess
material
(see
sketch
2).
Then
hem
sec
ond edge.
Before
you
hem
the
last
edge,
cut
away
about
/4”
of
the
hem
sewn
first,
as
illu
strated
in
sketch
