Darning And Mending; Repair Large Holes - Singer HD6620C Manual De Instrucciones

• Finish the raw edge of the hem if sewing on a woven fabric.
There is no need to finish the raw edge first on most knits.
• Fold and press the hem allowance to the wrong side.
• Fold the hem back on itself so approximately 3/8" (1 cm) of
the finished edge extends beyond the fold. The wrong side
of your project should now be facing up.
• Place the fabric under the presser foot so that the fold runs
along edge guide (A).
• When the needle swings into the fold it should catch a
small amount of fabric. If the stitches are visible on the
right side, adjust edge guide (A) by turning the adjusting
screw (B) until the stitch that catches the hem just barely
shows.
