The raw edge of the fabric is guided into the unique scroll or funnel-shaped opening at the front of the foot. As the fabric is fed through, the guide automatically rolls the edge of the fabric under twice. The sewing machine's needle then stitches the folded hem in place, creating a clean, finished edge. This process eliminates the manual effort of repeatedly folding, pressing, and pinning a narrow hem, saving significant time and producing consistent, professional results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUsing the Foot:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrep the Fabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clip off the very starting corner of the fabric.
