Hinged Hemmer Foot (1/8", 3/16", 1/4") for Singer Slant Needle (Slant Shank) Machines

This specialized hinged hemmer foot is designed for Singer slant needle sewing machines, featuring durable all-metal hinged construction. Available in three sizes—1/8", 3/16", and 1/4"—to create neat, narrow rolled hems on fabric edges. Choose your desired size from the drop-down menu. The foot automatically folds the raw edge of the fabric twice before stitching, resulting in a perfectly turned double-turned hem without basting or pressing.

Key Features:

• Available in three sizes: 1/8", 3/16", and 1/4"
• Automatically folds fabric twice for double-turned hem

Perfect For:

• Narrow Hems: Professional rolled hems on lightweight fabrics like silk, chiffon, and voile

• Scarves and Shawls: Delicate rolled edges on scarves and lightweight accessories
• Garment Edges: Finished edges on blouses, dresses, and skirts
• Ruffles and Trims: Hemmed edges on ruffles and decorative trims

Choosing the Right Size:

• 1/8" Hemmer: Creates very narrow, delicate rolled hems. Perfect for lightweight fabrics like silk, chiffon, and fine cotton. Ideal for scarves, handkerchiefs, and delicate garment edges
• 3/16" Hemmer: Medium-width rolled hem. Versatile for most lightweight to medium-weight fabrics. Great for napkins, blouses, and general narrow hemming
• 1/4" Hemmer: Wider rolled hem. Best for medium-weight fabrics and projects requiring a more substantial narrow hem. Excellent for table linens and heavier garments

How the Hemmer Foot Works:

The hemmer foot features a curved metal guide (scroll) that automatically folds the raw edge of the fabric twice as it feeds through the foot. The size of the scroll determines the finished hem width—1/8", 3/16", or 1/4". As you sew, the fabric is drawn into the scroll, folded twice, and stitched in one smooth operation, creating a perfectly turned narrow hem without any manual pressing or basting. The hinged construction allows the foot to navigate varying fabric thicknesses smoothly.

Using the Foot:

1. Choose Size: Select 1/8", 3/16", or 1/4" hemmer from drop-down menu based on desired hem width and fabric weight
2. Attach Foot: Install hinged hemmer foot on your slant needle machine
3. Prepare Fabric: Trim fabric edge cleanly. Manually fold a small section (about 2-3 inches) of fabric twice to match hem width
4. Start Stitching: Sew a few forward and backward stitches to secure the manually folded section
5. Engage Guide: Lift presser foot and hook the fabric around the metal guide (scroll), ensuring it's smooth and wrinkle-free
6. Continue Sewing: Lower foot and sew, holding fabric slightly taut to allow it to feed smoothly through the scroll. The foot automatically folds and hems as you sew

Benefits:

• Time-Saving: Eliminates manual pressing and basting—folds and hems in one operation
• Professional Results: Even, consistent narrow hems every time
• Three Size Options: Choose 1/8", 3/16", or 1/4" to match your project needs
• Versatile: Works on lightweight to medium-weight fabrics
• Durable Construction: All-metal hinged design ensures long-lasting performance

Tips for Best Results:

• Choose hem width based on fabric weight: 1/8" for delicate fabrics, 1/4" for heavier fabrics
• Trim fabric edge cleanly before starting for smooth feeding
• Manually fold and stitch first 2-3 inches to get started
• Hold fabric slightly taut (not tight) as it feeds through the scroll
• Practice on scrap fabric to perfect technique before starting project
• Works best on straight edges—curves require careful handling
• All-metal hinged construction ensures durability and smooth operation
