On heavyweight fabrics that ravel, the raw edge should be overcast first. Then fold the hem, as illustrated, leaving

1/4"(0.7 cm) of the hem edge showing.

Position the fabric, so that the needle at its leftmost posi- tion just pierces the edge of the fold.

After hemming is completed, press together both sides of the finished hem. The top side of the fabric should show only the blind stitches.
