• Turn up a 2” hem along one of the 6” edges and press.

• Thread the needles with two different colors of thread.
• Place the folded edge of the fabric along the 1” guideline on the right side of the stitch plate.

Note: To be sure the needles will not strike the foot, turn the handwhell to “walk” the
machine through the first stitch. Narrow the width as needed to avoid breaking needles.

other stitches with a double needle for other types of fabrics.
