Finish one 6” edge of the fabric by oversewing with a zigzag stitch
(see pages 20-21).
Fold a 2” hem to the wrong side of the fabric and press.
Fold hem back to the right side over the basting line.
Sew on the extended hem allowance, keeping the folded edge
next to the guide on the foot.
Adjust the stitch width (
BERNINA
®
) or white guide (
bernette
®
)
if needed so that the needle barely stitches into the fold.
Mount the sample with the edges folded back as shown.
