36 FOOT HEMMER-Hemming Raise the needle to its highest point. Remove the presser foot and attach the foot hemmer in its 0 FIG. 34 place (see Fig. 34). Clip off the right hand corner of the cloth, so that it will take the roll easily, turn up the edge about a quarter of an inch, insert it in the mouth of the hemmer and draw or push it along until under the needle. Then let down the presser bar, and after taking two or three stitches, draw gently on the ends of the threads to help the work along till the feed catches, it. In order to produce a smooth even hem, the mouth of the hemmer must be kept just full. Fig. 34 also shows what is known as a bag seam or fell, made by passing two pieces of fabric through the hemmer together and hemming them down.
