Sewing 3:16 Rolled hem with hemmer No. 7 - 1 Use the rolled hemmer to finish the edges of blouses, scarves, or ruffles without having to iron the edges beforehand. Hemming prevents the edges from fraying and produces a neat and durable edge finish. • Double-fold the fabric edge (about 1/8 inch / 2 mm per fold). • Place the folded fabric edge under the hemmer and sew a few stitches to secure. • Turn the handwheel towards you until the needle is at its lowest point. Raise the presser foot and slide the fabric into the scroll of the hemmer. • Lower the presser foot and while sewing, guide the fabric edge evenly into the hemmer. When roll-hemming, make sure the raw edge of the fabric butts against the left edge of the hemmer opening. Ensure the fabric does not run underneath the right side of the presser foot.

It is frequently used as a hem finish on lingerie. • Select blind stitch No. 5 and mirror it with the "Pattern mirror" button . • Tighten the needle thread tension to create a deeper shell tuck. • Finish the raw edge and press the seam allowance to the left. • While sewing, make sure the fabric runs under the presser foot at half of the foot width, and the blind hem swings over the folded edge. Tip: Add a colored pearl cotton thread on the folded edge as you sew the shell tuck. This creates a pretty contrast and strengthens the hem.
