Hemming prevents the edges from fraying and results in a clean, durable edge. With the Rolled Hem Foot, you can hem light to medium weight fabrics for clothing and home decorating items without having to pre-iron the fabric edges.
How to use the PFAFF Rolled Hem Foot:
- Select a straight stitch, disengage the IDT and snap on the Rolled Hem Foot. If needed, press only the beginning of the hem to 3mm wide. Place it flat in the groove under the foot and sew a foot and pull the cut edge of the fabric into the scroll of the hemmer. Lower the foot and continue sewing while holding few stitches. Lower the needle into the fabric and hold it in place. The raise the presser and guide the cut edge up in front of the foot.
- Do not allow fabric to run under the right half of the presser foot.
- TIP: Hem crisp fabrics with a straight stitch. Hem soft fabrics with a zig zag that just encases the 3mm size of the hem.
- NOTE: Sharply curved areas are not suitable for this type of hemmer.
