When using this seam, the garment must first be
fitted and the edge of the material trimmed, allow-
ing for about one-eighth inch seam. The two edges
are placed together and inserted in the Hemmer in
the same manner as a single hem. If the material is
bulky, the edge of the upper piece of material may
be placed about one-eighth inch in from the edge of
the lower piece. See Fig. 35.
The free edge of a hemmed seam may be stitched
flat to the garment if desired. First open the work
out flat, then place the hem in the scroll of the
Hemmer, which acts as a guide, holding the edge
of the hem in position while it is being stitched.
If the seam is stitched flat to the garment one row
of stitching is visible on the right side.
The hemmed seam may be used on muslin, lawn,
percale, organdie or other fine materials where a
narrow seam is desirable.
