This specialized presser foot simplifies the creation of narrow, rolled hems on lightweight fabrics. It guides the fabric edge into a small scroll, which the needle then stitches in place, producing a professional and durable finish often seen on delicate items like scarves, handkerchiefs, or ruffles. A tiny scroll is formed at the edge of the material as it passes under the foot. This specialized tool automates what was once a time-consuming manual process.
Creating professional, narrow hems without this device can be challenging and time-intensive, often requiring multiple folding and pressing steps. This streamlined approach not only saves considerable time but also delivers consistently even and attractive results. Its use has become widespread among both home sewists and professionals, significantly improving efficiency and finish quality, particularly for projects involving delicate fabrics. The device has evolved over time, with modern versions offering various sizes for different hem widths and fabric weights.
