5-18 5 Sewing Assistant Roll hemming With the roll hemmer 7 and Stitch 1 you can produce an heirloom finish on blouses, scarves, or ruffles without having to first press under the edges. Hemming prevents the edges from fraying and produces a neat and durable finish. Double-fold the fabric edge (about 3 mm (1/8") per fold). Place the folded fabric edge under the hemmer and sew a few stitches to secure. Stop with the needle down. Raise the presser foot and slide the fold of the hem into the scroll of the hemmer foot. Lower the presser foot and, while sewing. guide the fabric edge evenly into the scroll. When roll-hemming, make sure the raw edge of the fabric butts against the left edge of the scroll opening. Ensure the fabric does not tuck underneath the right side of the presser foot. TIP: Try a zigzag stitch for a different effect.
