NARROW HEMMING

The narrow hem foot actually rolls the fabric edge to create

a narrow hem for napkins, ruffles, scarves, and dainty hem

finishes on clothing.

Fold a 1/8” double hem to the wrong side of fabric, for

about 2” along the beginning of the hem [Fig. 1]. Place the

rolled edge of the hem under the presser foot. Lower the

foot and take several stitches. Stop with the needle in the

fabric [Fig. 2]. Raise the foot. Pick up the fabric edge and

roll it into the scroll of the foot. Lower the foot and begin

stitching slowly. Hold the fabric up and slightly to the left as

you sew [Fig. 3]. Practice makes perfect with this technique!

OVEREDGING LIGHT TO MEDIUM WEIGHT FABRICS

The zigzag stitch is handy for ov

eredging facings, hems,

and seam allo

wances to minimize raveling.

Position the fabric under the presser foot so the right

swing of the stitch forms just inside the edge of the fabric

[Fig. 4]. Test the position by turning the handwheel

toward you and manually "walking" the needle before

you begin sewing. Sew, guiding the fabric evenly.

RTACKING

This stitch is excellent for reinforcing pocket corners and

belt loops. Because the feed teeth are lowered, there is

no need to mak

e stitch length adjustments.

Determine the location for the bar tack and position the

fabric under the needle.

Sew 4-6 stitches [Fig. 5].

Raise the needle to its highest position. Turn the stitch

width dial to 0 and sew 3-4 stitches to secure the stitch.
