Installation & Sewing Instructions

1. Turn off the sewing machine before installing the attachment.
2. Secure the hemmer attachment to the sewing table using the guide fixing screws.
3. For a 1/2" hem, turn the fabric edge under by approximately 1/2". For a 1/4" hem, turn the fabric under by approximately 1/4".
4. Raise the presser foot and slide the fabric into the attachment with the wrong side facing upward.
5. Use a sewing awl or similar tool to guide the folded fabric under the presser foot toward the needle.
6. Lower the presser foot and turn the handwheel several times to secure the fabric.
7. Align the attachment with the needle so that the fabric edge is correctly positioned inside the hemmer.
8. Guide the folded fabric into the hemmer while maintaining a steady sewing speed.
9. For best results, use a moderate to slow sewing speed.

Important Tips

• Keep the fabric edge properly positioned inside the hemmer scroll while sewing.
• Guide the fabric gently rather than pulling it through the attachment.
• Maintain a steady, moderate-to-slow sewing speed for consistent results.
• When hemming polar fleece or sweatshirt fleece, a single fold may be preferable because these fabrics generally do not require a double roll.
