Lift the presser foot up and remove the fabric from the spiral so it lays under the foot. The sole of the bernina hemmer foot the channel on the sole of the presser foot is the size of the finished hem. Notice that there are two hemmers that are for use with straight stitch center needle position only. 3 raise the presser foot.

The remaining few centimeters of hem should be folded twice already if not tuck them in using a pin. Then lower the foot and secure the last centimeters by sewing over them like you would with a normal presser foot. A scroll on the foot feeds the fabric edge from the front and turns it under twice all in one operation. A special guide on the bottom of the foot holds the fabric together securely before and during the sewing process and ensures even feed of the material.

To do this use the adjustable guide on the standard presser foot. A guide in the presser foot sole guides the turned under fabric to the needle hole where the fabric is sewn with a straight stitch into a sturdy 4 mm wide hem. The scroll on the front of the presser foot turns the fabric edge under twice. Roll and shell hemmer 68 is ideally suited for hemming soft fabrics such as t shirts or undergarments.

The scroll on the front of the foot turns the fabric under twice then sews it with a zigzag stitch.

The double turned hem stops the fabric edge from fraying later.

With the aid of a scroll it turns the fabric under twice holding it together securely in the channel guide in the sole of the foot until it is sewn. The result is a narrow slightly three dimensional hem. The sewing feet are divided into two types with different shank openings. To really enhance the scalloped lettuce edge effect add some fish line into the rolled hem stitch.
