Hemming (cont')

●Stitch slowly for several inches until hem is well started. Hold thread ends in back of foot with the left hand and guide the raw fabric edge into the mouth of the scroll with the right hand.

Even feeding is essential to good hemming. The same width of fabric must be kept in the scroll of the hemmer at all times.

Hemmed Seams

Hemmed seams are often substituted for French seams where a fine narrow seam is appropriate.

●Allow a scant 1/4" seam allowance.

●With right sides of the fabric together, place the upper layer a scant 1/8" to the left of the lower layer.,

●Insert the two fabric edges into the hemmer and proceed as for a plain hem.
