IMPORTANT-Do
not
operate

machine
without
having
material
under
presser
foot.
If
the
machine should
be
run without sewing
and
thread
gets
in
the
shuttle
race
making
the
machine run
heavy,
take
out
bobbin
case
and
turn
the
hand
wheel
in
the
wrong di-
rection
several
times
and
it
will
cut
the
thread
out; failing
to
do
so
remove
the
shuttle
and
clean
the
race
and
driving pins.

THE
NARROW
HEMMER
The
Narrow
Hemmer
is
used to finish
the
edge
of
ruffles,
or
any
dainty
work
where
one
wishes
to
adhere
to
sheerness.
The
Narrow
Hemmer
is
attached
to
the
machi
ne
in
the
same
manner
as
is
the
presser-foot.
Ra
i
se
needle
to
highest
point; remove presser-foot;
attach
Hemmer; tighten screw.
Before inserting
material,
turn
over
one-eighth inch
of
ma-
terial for a
few
inches along
the
edge,
then insert
between
Figure
10
scrolls
in
Hemmer,
folded
edge
on
top,
draw
back
until
end
is
under
needle;
lower
presser-bar
and
begin
to
sew
, guid-
ing
material
with left
hand
so
that
neither
too
much
feeds
into
the
scroll- causing
wide
and
uneven
hems-nor
too
little, not allowing for a second turning, thus leaving a
raw
edge.
The scroll should
be
kept
just
full
.
It
is
quite
helpful, when
it
is
desired
to
start
stitching di-
rectly
at
the
selvedged
edge,
to
catch
through
the
material
at
the
folded
section
of
the
hem with a
needle
and
thread.
The
thread
can
be
held
on
to
when
drawing
the
material
back
preparatory
to
stitching
so
that
needle
will
pierce
the
extreme
edge.
