On heavyweight fabrics that ravel, the raw edge should be
overcast first. Then fold the hem, as illustrated, leaving
1/4"(0.7 cm) of the hem edge showing.
Position the fabric, so that the needle at its leftmost posi-
tion just pierces the edge of the fold.
After hemming is completed, press together both sides of
the finished hem. The top side of the fabric should show
only the blind stitches.

Lace adds a fanciful, feminine touch to blouses and
lingerie. Table linens and pillows become more elegant
when trimmed with lace.
Fold the raw edge of the fabric at least 5/8" (1.5 cm)_ Place
the lace underneath and topstitch with a blind hem stitch_
Trim the excess fabric close to the stitching..
