Rolled hem with foot No. 7
Use the rolled hem foot no. 7 to fi nish the edges of blouses, scarves, or
ruffl es without having to iron the edges beforehand. Hemming pre-
vents 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 open-
ing. 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.
