Sewing on lace Roll Hemmer To sew on laces use short stitch lengths and narrow stitch widths as a rule. Normally the stitch length regulator level 22 (see fig. 2) is set at '/ and the zigzag knob 18 at from 1 to 2. Place lace on material to be sewn, approximately 5/64" to I/N" inside edge, in order to facilitate sewing on. Now attach the lace with zigzag stitches and then cut off the material edge projecting, along the zigzag seam. The roll hemmer, characterized by two red lines on its shank, is similar in shape to the ordinary hemmer. The only dif- ference is that its stitch hole is not round. but rather elongated, so that zigzag seams can be sewn with it. The roll hemmer is operated in the same manner as the ordinary hemmer. The zigzag knob 18 (see fig. 18) is set at approximately 3 or 4. - Roll hems are used particularly for edging fine material. a Fix. 47 Fig. 46 a ti Fig. 461, The Scalopped Hem For scalloped henis use the roll hemmer too. The material or elastic fabric is inserted in the spiral guide as for roll hemming. The Zigzag stitch bridges the entire seam. Tight top thread tension and large stitch length produce the scalloped effect. This scalloped hem is used mainly for edging knit goods. • -rate' .4". " .
