Hemstitch
seam
The
hemstitch
seam
is
an
old
embroidery
technique
and
can
be
used
to
secure
edges
on
table
linen
as
well
as
for
decoration
on
clo
thing.
For
your
hemstitching
work
you
will
require
a
wing
needle
and
coarse
linen
out
of
which
you
can
easily
pull
the
single
threads.
Furthermore,
the
darning
and
patching
thread
is
particularly
suitable.
With
the
stretch
zigzag
stitch
you
can
sew
various
hemstitching
tech
niques
such
as
the
wale
hemstitch
seam,
a
hem
sewn
with
the
hemstitch
and
a
hemstitch
seam
as
an
edge.
Use
the
normal
presser
foot.
Wale
hemstitch
seam
—
As
with
the

hemstitch
seam
the

are
pulled
out
to
the
desired
width.
—
Using
a
narrow
stretch
zigzag
stitch,
sew
along
both
of
the
fabric
edges.
The

perforate
the
