As programmed
Attach Zigzag Foot to the machine.
1.
Finish one 6” edge of the fabric using a zigzag stitch,
guiding the edge of fabric under the center of the foot.
The needle should go into the fabric on one stroke of
the needle and over the edge on the next stroke.
Note: This is the same as the exercise on page 10.
2.
Fold a 2” hem to wrong side of fabric and press.
3.
Baste the hem in place, sewing about ¼” from the
upper edge of the hem (the one previously stitched).
4.
Select the Blindstitch or the Elastic Blindstitch (Elastic
Blindstitch is shown in diagram) and attach Blindstitch
Foot to the machine.
5.
Fold the hem back to the right side over the basting
line, exposing the zigzagged edge of the fabric.
6.
Place the folded fabric under the foot and position it
so the needle sews on the extended hem allowance,
barely stitching into the fold of the hem as it swings
over.
7.
Use the screw on the side of the foot to adjust the
guide if needed so that it is next to the fold of the hem.
8.
Unfold the fabric when nished, and notice that the
stitches barely show on the outside of the fabric.
10.
Sew the hem, keeping the fold of the fabric next to the
guide.
9.
