ADJUSTABLE HEMMER | ADJUSTABLE HEMMER |
Remove the presser foot and attach the adjustable hemmer in its place as shown in Fig. 22. This hemmer will turn hems from 3/16 inch to 15/16 in. wide The adjustment is made by loosening the thumb screw on the hemmer and moving the scale to the right or left until the hem turned is of the desired width. Place the cloth under the hemmer and draw the edge toward the left under the scale, as shown in Fig. 22. Draw the edge of the cloth back and forth until the hem is formed, stopping with the end under the nee- dle. Lower the presser bar and commence to sew, being careful to so guide cloth as to keep hemmer full.
To make a hem more than 15/16 inch wide, loosen the thumb screw in the hemmer and move the scale to the right as far as it will go, then swing it toward you as shown in Fig. 23, and tighten the thumb screw. Fold and crease down a hem of the desired width; pass the fold under the extension at the right of the hemmer, and the edge into the folder as shown in Fig. 23, and proceed to stitch the hem.
