Singer CG-550 - Narrow Hem

38
Narrow Hem
The edge of a ruffle, the hem on a napkin and the edge of a prom dress are all
perfect examples of where it is beneficial to use the Rolled Hem Foot. The foot
has a “scroll” that helps roll the fabric’s edge over, hiding the raw edges and
creating a small professional finish hem. Soft fabrics roll best.
