Using the Attachments 38 Fir. 19 The Hemmer (Width of hem about 'in") foot. This is done by raising the presser foot bar until Attach the hemmer in place of the ordinary presser the hemmer can easily be inserted. Fold the edge of the cloth over to the desired width of hem and push the fabric, so prepared, into the scroll of the lifted hemmer until it is under the needle; then lower the presser foot. When sewing, guide the folded edge of the cloth very lightly. If too much cloth enters the hemmer, the hem will be bulgy and eneven; if too little enters, the hem will not be taken in enough. 28 The Lap Hemmer (Feller) The lap hemmer, or feller, is similar in shape to the hemmer just described; only, the lap hemmer has no scroll. Lap hems are used for very firmly joining two pieces of material; they are made in two operations, as follows First operation. Place the pieces of fabric to be joined one on top of the other in such a way that the lower piece projects slightly, and guide both pieces into the feller as when hemming, so that they are turned down. When sewing, take care that the same width of material always enters a the feller. Second operation. Unfold and lay flat the two pie- ces of fabric. The joint will now stand up like a small pleat. This pleat is now guided through the feller again, in the same direction as the first time, so that it is laid down and sewn on. h Fig. 20 29
