The hemmer foot works best on a straight edge of fabric for most people. You can certainly try to use it on a circular edge, but please keep in mind that the radius of the circle is a large component in success or failure. The tighter the curve the harder it will be to get an even and consistent hem.
If you are hemming a finished garment start with a long stitch so you can rip it out easily when you get all the way around.
Great video. Thank you.
I've had this foot for over 4 years; where was this video back when I first got it?
I’m thinking this foot and procedure would be good for making cloth napkins or even a table cloth with that simple turned edge.
I need to practice this
Practice makes perfect!
Does this foot work if hemming in the round, like a skirt edge?
