INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATION OF ATTACHMENTS

Several Hemmers are furnished with your Machine. They will turn, finish
and stitch hems from % to % of an inch in width

NARROW HEMMER — A443.

Before entering material, turn
over for a few inches, % inch of
‘material along the edge, then in:

folded edge on top, draw back
until end is under needle; lower
Presser Bar and begin to sew,
guiding material so that neither
foo much feeds into scroll
causing wide and uneven hems—nor too little, not allowing for a second turning,
thus leaving a raw edge.

‘To trim a hem with contrasting colors at the same time hem is being turned
and stitched, mercerized floss is used on the bobbin.

‘Wind bobbin with floss as illustrated on page 3.

‘To thread the bobbin case with mercerized floss follow instructions for regular
threading: but eliminate threading into slots (A) & (B). ‘This is accomplished
easily if floss is thrown around fourth finger of left hand (forming a tension)
before it enters position (C) and tongue (D). Threading in this manner requires
no change in bobbin tension.

‘Set Sewing Machine stitch longer than for regular stitching; 6, 8 or 10 ai
commonly used. Draw up floss irom bobbin before starting to stitch as

structed on page 6.

APPLYING LACE
(Fronch, Style)

Lace edge, when applied, as il-
tustrated fs termed “french Ap
plication” due to the fact that
When hem is pressed back onto
wrong side of fabric no stitching
IS visible. It 1s also possible to
draw up a little fullness in lace
when applied in this manner.

Tenter material to be hemmed
as described. for regular hem-
fing: right side of material face
up.

Draw fullness in lace by pull-
ing one of the straight threads that form the selvedge. Enter this edge in hem-
mer from the left allowing right side of lace to lie on right side of material as
It is being hemmed, Feed lace in at edge of hemmer sufficiently 30 that the
stitching in hem of fabric will hold laee at the same time.

A French seam is made in the
same manner as described above
by sewing two edges of cloth to-
gether, making a hem in one and
Sewing the edge of second piece
within it,

The French seam can be
turned into a fell seam by enter-
ing the edge of hem into the
hemmer from the right, as illus
trated. A seam thus stitched is
simple to make and affords great
strength to garments.

French Fell Seam

LARGE HEMMERS — A125!

Attach the desired size of
Hemmer to machine in place of
presser foot; crease over % inch
of material to be hemmed for
about two inches before insert-
ing edge of goods. Enter ma-
terial and guide it around scroll
of Hemmer using both hands to
draw it back and forth a few
times while gradually feeding
the cloth into the Hemmer so
ag to fill the scroll completely.
Draw material back so. that
creased edge fits around edge of scroll in Hemmer and selvedge edges meet.
Hold both upper and under threads and proceed to stitch.
