2.Measure, turn up your hem and pin.

NOTE: For light weight fabrics, you may need a double fold.

3.Fold the material (wrong side out) on the edge to be stitched, as shown, leaving 1/4" of the finished hem edge showing.

4.Place garment under presser foot in such a manner that straight stitches will be sewn on extended edge. The zigzag stitch should just catch the fold of the garment.
