Hem
The hem technique on your Exclusive SEWING
ADVISOR™ feature will select the visible or topstitch hem
that is best for your fabric weight and type. For woven fabric
and leather and vinyl, a straight stitch is selected. For stretch
fabrics, stitches that stretch are selected.
Jeans Hem
When sewing over seams in extra heavy fabric or a blue jeans
hem, the foot can tip as it rides over the seam. Use the
optional multipurpose tool (part number 4131056–01) to
balance the height of the presser foot as you sew.
Fabric:
Denim fabric.
Select:
Woven heavy and hem technique.
Use:
Presser foot B as recommended and size 90 needle.
Set:
Presser foot pressure to N as recommended.
Sew:
Press needle stop up/down to select the needle down
position. Begin sewing the bottom hem at or near the center
back. As you near the side seam, stop sewing. Your machine
stops with the needle in the fabric. Raise the presser foot.
Insert the multipurpose tool from behind.
Both sides of the multipurpose tool are raised. Use the side
which corresponds closest to the thickness of the seam.
Lower the presser foot and continue sewing slowly over the
thick seam.
Stop sewing again just in front of the seam (notice how the
needle is in the fabric). Remove the multipurpose tool and
reinsert it under the presser foot from the front.
Sew a few stitches until the whole presser foot has passed the
seam and is resting on the multipurpose tool. Stop sewing
once again. With the needle in the fabric, raise the presser
foot. Remove the multipurpose tool. Continue sewing the
hem.
