847 551 Hemming Machine Setting: A 0 or 2 to 3; B 4The hemmer foot is indispensable if you want to sew a uniform hem. You can hem with straight or zigzag stitches, depending on the type of fabric you are using. Fold over edge of fabric about 1 /a" to facilitate insertion into the hemmer foot. Place fabric under hemmer foot so that the needle stitches in the material about 1/2" short of its rear edge and close to the folded edge. Sew backwards as far as the rear fabric edge. Take the work out of the machine by pulling it forward. Don't trim the threads (sketch 1). Draw the fabric into the scroll of the hemmer by pulling both threads back wards. Inserting the fabric into the scroll like this will ensure a neat hem right from the beginning. Feed fabric so that the hem edge is in line with the left edge of the hemmer scroll. Don't crowd fabric into the scroll, but keep scroll well filled with fabric at all times (see ill, at top). DR 870 Avoid ugly ends by slowing down feeding. To do this, press the fabric against the needle plate on the left side of the foot before you come to the end of the hem (see ill. at bottom). If you want to hem several edges, hem first edge to within about 1/2" of corner, cut away remaining portion of hem, as shown in sketch 2. Then hem the second edge, as instructed above. Before you hem the last edge, cut away about 1/3" of the hem sewn first, as illustrated in sketch 3. 2fl DR 509 30

The
hemmer
foot
is
indispensable
if
you
want
to
sew
a
uniform
hem.
You
can
hem
with
straight
or
zigzag
stitches,
depending
on
the
type
of
fabric
you
are
using.
Fold
over
edge
of
fabric
about
1
/a”
to
facilitate
insertion
into
the
hemmer
foot.
Place
fabric
under
hemmer
foot
so
that
the
needle
stitches
in
the
material
about
1/2”
short
of
its
rear
edge
and
close
to
the
folded
edge.
Sew
backwards
as
far
as
the
rear
fabric
edge.
Take
the
work
out
of
the
machine
by
pulling
it
forward.
Don’t
trim
the
threads
(sketch
1).
Draw
the
fabric
into
the
scroll
of
the
hemmer
by
pulling
both
threads
back
wards.
Inserting
the
fabric
into
the
scroll
like
this
will
ensure
a
neat
hem
right
from
the
beginning.
Feed
fabric
so
that
the
hem
edge
is
in
line
with
the
left
edge
of
the
hemmer
scroll.
Don’t
crowd
fabric
into
the
scroll,
but
keep
scroll
well
filled
with
fabric
at
all
times
(see
ill,
at
top).
Avoid
ugly
ends
by
slowing
down
feeding.
To
do
this,
press
the
fabric
against
the
needle
plate
on
the
left
side
of
the
foot
before
you
come
to
the
end
of
the
hem
(see
ill.
at
bottom).
If
you
want
to
hem
several
edges,
hem
first
edge
to
within
about
1/2”
of
corner,
cut
away
remaining
portion
of
hem,
as
shown
in
sketch
2.
Then
hem
the
second
edge,
as
instructed
above.
Before
you
hem
the
last
edge,
cut
away
about
1/3”
of
the
hem
sewn
first,
as
illustrated
in
sketch
3.
