Preparing the project
When hemming, it is helpful to iron the
hem beforehand. Depending on the
hemdepth, add 0.5 cm (1/4”) to the hem.
For example, if you want a 2 cm hem, iron
up 2.5 cm(1” hem iron up 1 1/4”).
Stopping sewing
1.
If you are sewing to the edge of the
project:
Grasp the threads at the end of the
seam and sew slowly off the project.
As you do so, pull the threads gently
backwards.
Note:
In most cases, the
differential feed will need to
be adjusted. Sew a test seam
first.
2.
If you are sewing a continuous hem
(around a project):
Sew 4–5 stitches over the previous
stitches. On the last stitch, turn the
hand wheel towards you slowly until
the needles reach their lowest position.
Starting to sew
Lift up the presser foot and position the
fabric under the presser foot so that the
needles pierce the fabric on the first stitch.
The raw edge must be along the two on
the ruler of the sewing table.
Keep the threads moderately taut and
start sewing slowly. As soon as the first
few stitches have been formed, you can
increase the sewing speed.
Note:
The hem guide H2
may be ordered as an extra
accessory. It makes hemming
child’s play without the need
to iron the hem before you
sew.
