foot.

This

is

done

by

raising

the

presser

foot

bar

until

Attach

the

hemmer

in

place

of

the

ordinary

presser

the

hemmer

can

easily

be

inserted.

Fold

the

edge

of

the

cloth

over

to

the

desired

width

of

hem

and

push

the

fabric,

so

prepared,

into

the

scroll

of

the

lifted

hemmer

until

it

is

under

the

needle;

then

lower

the

presser

foot.

When

sewing,

guide

the

folded

edge

of

the

cloth

very

lightly.

If

too

much

cloth

enters

the

hemmer,

the

hem

will

be

bulgy

and

eneven;

if

too

little

enters,

the

hem

will

not

be

taken

in

The

Lap

Hemmer

(Feller)

The

lap

hemmer,

or

feller,

is

similar

in

shape

to

the

hemmer

just

described;

only,

the

lap

hemmer

has

no

scroll.

Lap

hems

are

used

for

very

firmly

joining

two

pieces

of

material;

they

are

made

in

two

operations,

as

follows

First

operation.

Place

the

pieces

of

fabric

to

be

joined

one

on

top

of

the

other

in

such

a

way

that

the

lower

piece

projects

slightly,

and

guide

both

pieces

into

the

feller

as

when

hemming,

so

that

they

are

turned

down.

When

sewing,

take

care

that

the

same

width

of

material

always

enters

the

feller.

Second

operation.

Unfold

and

lay

flat

the

two

pie-

ces

of

fabric.

The

joint

will

now

stand

up

like

a

small

pleat.

This

pleat

is

now

guided

through

the

feller

again,

in

the

same

direction

as

the

first

time,

so

that

it

is

laid

down

and

sewn

on.
