What It's Used For:

This adjustable hemmer attachment automatically creates clean, professional-looking hems with precise, adjustable widths. The scroll mechanism folds the raw edge twice and stitches it in place, all in one fluid motion.

Primary Applications:

• Garment hems - Pants, skirts, dresses, sleeves, shirts
• Home decor - Curtains, tablecloths, napkins, pillowcases
• Lightweight fabrics - Cotton, voile, batiste, silk, rayon
• Straight edges - Perfect for straight seams and edges
• Narrow hems - Professional finish on delicate fabrics
• Couching - Narrow toe can couch over narrow cords
• Production sewing - Fast, consistent hems for multiple items

How It Works:

Attachment: The entire standard presser foot and shank assembly is removed and replaced with the hemmer attachment, secured by the presser bar screw.

Width Adjustment: A small thumbscrew on the side of the attachment is loosened to slide the guide left or right, setting the desired width of the finished hem (3/16 inch to 15/16 inch).

Hemming Process:

1. Prepare fabric: Fold and finger-press a small initial section of the fabric edge twice, to the approximate width of the foot's opening
2. Insert fabric: Slide the prepared fabric edge under the foot and guide it into the scroll/funnel
3. Set machine: Use straight stitch only (zigzag is not compatible with this foot)
4. Sew: As you sew, the scroll automatically turns the raw edge over twice, enclosing the edge within the fold
5. Stitch in place: The needle stitches the hem along the inner fold
6. Guide carefully: Guide the fabric while applying slight tension to keep the edge aligned with the internal guide

Tips for Success:

• Practice first - This attachment requires practice to master consistent feeding
• Careful guidance - Guide fabric carefully to prevent bunching or slipping out of funnel
• Slight tension - Apply gentle tension to keep edge aligned with internal guide
• Straight stitch only - Do not use zigzag stitch with this attachment
• Initial fold - Finger-press starting section for easier insertion into funnel
• Moderate speed - Sew at moderate speed for best control
