Hemming with Lace
Most of the popular kinds of lace edging and insertion can be applied with the foot hemmer. It is an excellent way to trim children's clothes and to finish lingerie hems.
Lace Applied over Hem
●Fold and start hem in usual way.
●Starting about 1 inch down from end of lace, place selvage under the needle, the lower the needle to hold lace firmly.
●Raise hemmer foot slightly and slip lace under back part of foot.
●Stitch slowly, guiding fabric with right hand and lace with left hand. Take care not to stretch the lace.
Lace Applied under Hem
When using lace underneath the fold of a hem, the procedure is the same as when making a hemmed seam (page 33). Slip the lace in from the left as you would the second piece of fabric. This method is used where a neat finish is desired on both sides of the material.
