Rolled Hem

Make a double 0.25 cm (1/8˝) fold approximately 8 cm 

(3˝) in length.

Lower the needle into the fabric at the point where 

sewing is to begin, then lower the hemmer foot.

Sew 3 or 4 stitches while pulling the needle and 

bobbin threads.

Lower the needle into the fabric and lift the hemmer 

foot. Insert the folded portion of the fabric into the curl 

of the hemmer foot.

Lower the hemmer foot, then sew by lifting up the 

edge of the fabric to keep it feeding smoothly and 

evenly.

Trim about 0.6 cm(1/4˝) from corners as illustrated, to 

reduce bulk.
