FOOT HEMMER -- Felling
The two pieces of cloth to be felled should be laid one over the other, right sides together, the edge of the under piece being a little far- ther to the right than the upper piece. Stitch them together, using the hemmer as a press- er foot, the front end of the hemmer forming a guide for the edges of both pieces, the upper piece being guided by the inside and the under piece by the outside of the projecting front of the foot hemmer (see Fig. 20). Then open the work out flat, wrong side up, the edges standing up straight, and taking the edges near the beginning of the seam in the right hand, and the ends of the threads in the left hand draw the edges into the hemmer which will turn them as in hemming. Guide the second row of stitching by following the first row with the inside of the projecting front of the foot hemmer (see Fig. 21).
