hemsfifching effects
on handkerchiefs, blouses,
dresses,
and so forth, can be made
with Pfatts System 130
(wing)
needle available
at Ptaft stores
at
extra
cost. Loosely woven
fabrics, such as
batisfe, organdy,
georgette, etc., are well suited
to hemstitching while woolly
fabrics are not
recommended
because needle penetrations close
up. Since the henistitching
needle has a
slightly
thicker shank, the needle set screw must
be turned out far enough
for
insertion. The hemsfitching
needle
cannot
be
threaded with
the automatic
needle threader.
