Place the folded edge along the slot of foot.
The needle should fall off the edge of the fabric on
the right forming a tuck.
z
On heavyweight fabrics that ravel, the raw
edge should be overcast first. Then fold the
hem, as illustrated, leaving 1/4

(0.7 cm) of the
hem edge showing.

Position the fabric, so that the needle at its
leftmost position just pierces the edge of the
