1 Fold up the edge of the fabric to the wrong side and
press.
2Draw a line with a tailor’s chalk on the right side of the
fabric to mark the fabric edge.
3Place the fabric so the left needle drops just to the
left side of the marked line. Lower the presser foot.
4 Sew carefully along the marked line.
5After finishing sewing, raise the presser foot and
remove the fabric to the rear.
6 Draw the needle threads to the wrong side of the
fabric and knot them together.
