• To secure the rolled hem thread chain
–
Apply a small drop of liquid seam sealant to the
end of the seam. Allow to dry, then cut the chain
close to the stitches.
Additional information about rolled
hemming
–
Hold the thread chain when you begin sewing to
keep it from curling into the seam.
–
Place a slight tension on the material in the
sewing direction and a finer seam finish can be
obtained.
–
The minimum overlock stitch width that can be
obtained for rolled hemming is approximately
1.5 mm (1/16 inch) since the cutting width
cannot be set below 3.5 mm (9/64 inch).
PLEASE NOTE:
Test the liquid seam sealant for color fastness
before use.
