When you hem a fabric edge. you protect it against fraying and at the same time produce a neat. durable edge finish. Fold the beginning of the fabric edge twice, making a hem about 3mm ('la") wide and several inches long. Place the material under the hemmer foot and lower same. Stitch the folded edge down with 3 or 4 straight stitches. Draw the fabric into the hemmer foot by pulling both threads backwards, as shown in Fig. 1. Feed the fabric edge into the hemmer toot scroll with your right hand. Make sure the fabric does not slip sideways under the right half of the foot. The scroll should be well filled with fabric so that the fabric edge is in line with the right side of the left toe (Fig.2). To produce an elastic hem on soft materials, use zigzag stitches. Turn the stitch selector to the maximum stitch length in range 6 and nrnceed. as instructed above. Baste the closed zipper on the fabric, then open it. Stitch close to the left edge of the zipper for about 5 cm (2), guiding the right edge of the foot along the zipper teeth (Fig. 1) Leave the needle in the material, raise the zipper foot and close the zipper. Then lower the zipper foot again (Fig. 2). Continue stitching until you reach the end of the zipper, then stitch across this end and up the other side close to the right edge of the zipper (Fig.3). Stop about 5 cm (2') short of the end of the seam, raise the zipper foot and open the zipper. Continue sewing to the end of the zipper. The finished zipper closure is shown in Fig. 4. 14) I Pe"l.Aftlit, it If f- 1.
