To sew:

Fold the edge of the fabric twice, 6 cm (2 3/8˝) in length and 0.3 cm (1/8˝) in width.

Trim the corner 0.5 cm (3/16˝) by 0.8 cm (1/4˝) for easier insertion of the hem into the foot.

Position the fabric aligning the edge of hem with the guide on the foot.

Lower the foot and sew 1–2 cm (1/2˝ – 1˝) while pulling both threads to the back.

Stop the machine with the needle down in the fabric. Raise the foot and insert the folded portion of the fabric into the curl of the foot.

Lower the foot, and then sew by lifting up the edge of the fabric to keep it feeding smoothly and evenly.
