• With garment inside out, mark, fold and press hem-
line (1).
• Turn hem (1) back against inside of garment, leaving
1/8" of hem beyond fold (2), as shown.
• Pin or baste all layers in place.
Position the hem under the presser foot with the soft
fold resting against wall of the guide. Be sure the
flange of the guide is between the soft fold and the top
of the hem, as shown.
• Lower the presser foot and begin sewing making cer-
tain the straight stitches fall on the edge of the hem
and the zig-zag stitches just pierce the soft fold of the
work. Adjust stitch width if necessary. While stitching,
guide the hem edge in a straight line and feed the
soft fold evenly against the wall of the guide.
• If layers of fabric are pinned together, remove pins as
you come to them. Do not sew over pins.
