1 .Prepare
hem
in the
usual
way.
It is advisable
to
baste
the
hem.
Place
the
basting
at least
1 .3cm
(1/2
inch)
below
the edge
of
the hem
allowance.
2.
With
the
wrong
side
of the
work
uppermost,
turn
the
hem under,
creating
a
soft fold
from
the
top
edge of
the hem.
3. Position
the
hem
under
the
presser
foot.
Stitch
so
that
the straight
stitches
fall
on the
hem allowance
and
the
sideward
stitches
pierce
the soft
fold
of the
work.
Adjust
stitch
width, if
necessary.
