HEMMING

IS EASY

SUGGESTIONS FOR USING THESE

ATTACHMENTS

When replacing the regular presser foot with one of these new sewing

aids, be sure that the presser bar is up and the needle is at its highest position. After you have threaded the machine correctly, turn the hand wheel to bring up the bobbin thread. Draw both threads under the sewing aid and to the back of the machine to avoid tangles, It'sa good idea to test stitching first on a scrap of fabric being used.

FORM AND STITCH IN ONE OPERATION

Attach the Narrow Hemmer to the adjustable holder. Set

SCROLL

your machine for any stitch you want to use.

Make sure that edge of the fabric is cut straight. Turn a tiny double hem (% tnch) along edge for about two inches. Place end of this

hem under Narrow Hemmer. Hold thread taut while stitching

along inside edge of hem. Feed fabric gradually into "scroll" m hemmer, guiding edge of fabric as shown.
