Hems on Jersey material Zigzag foot Needle: 80-70 Thread: 30 or 50 Hems for Jersey underwear Needle position: centre Automatic: zigzag WMANV Drop feed control: sewing Single turned-In hems Zigzag: 3 Stitch length: Double turned-in hems Zigzag: 21/2 Stitch length: The Waving of Jersey To prevent the Jersey from waving, guide an extra thread inside the zigzag. (Not only for hemS but whenever jersey stretches, e. g. patching, oversewing, etc.) Press with a damp cloth before removing the extra thread. How to hold the extra thread Not like this, because you obscure your view of the work. But like this: This way the view is clear and the work can be guided easily. Important ti Hold the thread slightly taut while sew- ing and the Jersey will not stretch so much. The thread can also be guided through the hole in the needle plate like pintuck cord. (Especially useful for a large patch.)
