Place the closure piece on the fabric underneath the foot. Turn the handwheel toward you slowly to check that the left and right movement of the needle clears the closure piece. If the needle doesn't clear both holes, adjust stitch width (if your machine has adjustable stitch width) accordingly until it does. Sew several stitches to attach. Bring thread tails to back of fabric and tie to secure. Hemstitching is a sewing techique used to create delicate heirloom hems. Sew beautiful hemstitching using a simple zigzag stitch and a SINGER size 90 Wing Needle (additional accessory for some machine models). For machines with adjustable stitch length and stitch width, set the stitch width at 3.0mm and the stitch length at 2.0mm. Turn up the hem allowance and sew, catching the raw edge of the hem as you go. The needle will make small holes in the fabric, creating a delicate finish. Best results come when sewing organdy, organza or batiste. A fabric spray starch can make fabrics easier to manage, as well. Sew a zigzag stitch to create a "wavy" hem, sometimes called a "lettuce edge". This technique is for stretch knit fabrics such as t-shirt or jersey. Set the machine for the zigzag stitch. For machines with adjustable stitch length and stitch width, select a medium stitch length and stitch width setting. Sew along the raw edge of the fabric, stretching the fabric from both front and back as you go. When you release the fabric, the result is a wavy, curly edge. Heirloom sewing incorporates several different techniques, and one is to attach lace using a zigzag stitch. This works on fine, lightweight fabrics like batiste and lace that has a flat edge on one side. Thread the machine with lightweight thread. A size 9/70 or 11/80 needle (additional accessory for some machine models) is recommended. Set the machine for zigzag stitch. For machines with adjustable stitch length and stitch width, select a width setting of at least 5.0mm and a length setting of approximately 2.0mm. Use an Open Toe Foot (additional accessory for some machine modeles) so that the area in front of the needle is unobstructed. Position the lace on top of the fabric about 1/8" to 9 of 80
