Rolled hem with foot No. 7
Use the rolled hemmer to fi nish the edges of blouses, scarves, or
ruffl es without having to iron the edges beforehand. Hemming
prevents the edges from fraying and produces a neat and durable
edge fi nish.
• Double-fold the fabric edge (about 1/8 inch / 2 mm per
fold).
• Place the folded fabric edge under the rolled hem foot and
sew a few stitches to secure.
• Turn the hand wheel towards you until the needle is at its
lowest point. Raise the presser foot and slide the fabric into
the scroll of the foot.
• Lower the presser foot and while sewing, guide the fabric
edge evenly into the foot. When roll-hemming, make sure
the raw edge of the fabric butts against the left edge of the
rolled hem foot opening. Ensure the fabric does not run
underneath the right side of the presser foot.
Rolled hem with Stitch No. 3
A narrow zigzag stitch also makes a nice rolled hem on lighter
stretch fabrics such as lingerie nylon.
