IMPORTANT-Do not operate the machine
without having material under presser foot.
If
the
machine
should
be
run without sewing and thread
gets
in
the shuttle
race
making the machine
run
heavy,
take
out
bobbin case
and
turn the hand
wheel in
the
wrong di-
rection several
times
and it will cut the
thread out;
failing to
do
so remove
the
shuttle
and clean the
race
and driving pins.

THE NARROW HEMMER
The
Narrow
Hemmer is
used to finish the edge of ruffles,
or any
dainty
work where one wishes to adhere to sheerness.
The Narrow
Hemmer
is attached
to the
mach ine in the
same manner as is
the
presser-foot.
Ra
ise needle
to
highest
point; remove
presser-foot; attach Hemmer;
tighten screw.
Before
inserting material,
turn
over one-eighth
inch
of ma-
terial for
a
few
inches
along the edge, then insert
between
Figure 10
scrolls in
Hemmer,
folded edge on top, draw back
until
end
is
under needle;
lower presser-bar and b
e
gin
to
sew,
guid-
ing material
with left hand so that neither too much
feeds
into
the
scroll-
causing
wide and
uneven hems-nor
too
little, not allowing
for a
second
turning,
thus leaving a
raw
edge.
The
scroll
should
be kept
just
full.
It is
quite
helpful, when it is
desired to
start stitching
di-
rectly at
the
selvedged
edge, to
catch through the
material
at
the folded section of the
hem with a needle
and thread.
The
thread
can
be
held on
to when drawing
the
material
back
preparatory to stitching so that needle will pierce the
extreme edge.
