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.
