Insert a System 130 Zwi-Ho needle. Make sure the needle and bobbin threads are the same size. The threading procedure is the same as for cording work. Slightly in crease the needle thread tension. The hemstitching effect is produced by the left wing needle penetrating the fabric. Turn the fabric by half a turn and sew the second seam, guiding the material so that the wing needle enters the needle holes it has made in the fabric previously. You can produce a nice hemstitching effect atorcg the hemmend edge of the fabric by guiding the material so that the wing needle follows the hemline and the ordinary needle stitches into the fabric close to the hem.
