Attach hemmer foot (Fig. 28). Now handle material as
follows
1. Fold over edge of material approximately ‘“ then fold
it over again for about 2”. Insert this folded end into
spiral formed opening (scrolL of hemmer foot.
Move material back and forth until the hem forms itself
in the scroll.

just below the needle.
3. Lower presser foot and begin to sew. Guide material into hemmer foot while proceeding with work
Fig. 28
NOTE : Do not crowd material into scroll and do not leave scroll only partly fifled by material. Feed just
enough material into the hemmer foot to fill out the scroll.
Instead of a straight stitch, you can also use a zigzag stitch for this hemming operation. Be sure,
however, to adjust the width of the zigzag stitch to the width of the hem. Using a very long stitch
and tight tensions will produce a shell stitch.
