INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE ATTACHMENTS
FOOT HEMMER - Hemming
Raise the needle to its highest point. Remove
the presser foot and attach the toot hemmer
in its place (see Fig. 21). Clip off the right
hand corner of the cloth, so that it will take
the roll easily, turn up the edge about a quar-
ter of an inch, insert it in the mouth of the
hemmer and draw or push it along with the
stiletto until under the needle. Then let down
the presser bar and after taking two or three
stitches, draw gently on the ends of the
threads to help the work along till the feed
catches it. In order to produce a smooth even
hem the mouth of the hemmer must be kept
just full.
Fig. 21 shows also what is known as a bag
seam or fell, made by passing two pieces of
fabric through the hemmer together and hem-
ming them down.
