Instructions

Making a Narrow Hem

The Rolled Hem foot is well suited for light to medium weight fabrics. Trim down the edge of the fabric to be hemmed so that the hem allowance is 1/2'

Press under 1/8' to the wrong side for the first 2-3' of your hem edge. Press under the same amount - 1/8', to the wrong side again.

Place the fabric under the foot. As you lower the Rolled Hem Foot guide the folded edge of the fabric into the scroll shaped opening at the front of the foot.

Hold the thread tails at the back of the presser foot as you begin to sew. Guide the fabric into the foot with the raw edge folded once so that the scroll shaped opening of the foot can double fold your hem as you sew.

Continue stitching your hem until you come to end of your fabric, continuing to guide the fabric into with the foot with the raw edge folded.

This technique can take some time practice but once you have it mastered it is a time saver!
