Oh I thought you were supposed to just fight with it and tangle up all the thread... this looks better.

I had an old sewing machine that I used forever, until a couple of years ago. It had a couple of feet-a zigzag foot and a zipper foot. Once I got my new machine a couple of years ago, and I played with all of the attachments, my sewing world was completely changed! Learning and using the new presser feet opens up a whole new world for sewing and can make so many techniques much, much easier and drastically improves results. I haven’t tried this foot yet, but I plan to make un-paper towels using some scrap fabrics. I think this foot will help tremendously. Thanks for the video!

You are so welcome! You are right; presser feet are so much fun. Food for thought - the unpaper towels that I have seen will likely be too thick to utilize this presser foot. A cute option that I have seen is doing a finished edge with an overcast foot.

@@SewingPartsOnline Aha, another sewing toy I can play with! An overcast foot, and I do indeed have one of these, yay! Thanks!

@@Jen-CelticWarrior You're welcome!

Thank you . ! 😊

I know this video is very helpful for people...but honestly, I'm sure it would be even more helpful if you showed the finished result..it would really inspire confidence. And a confident sewer is an adventurous sewer...when we're curious, we find innovative solutions to the problems common to all of us. ❤

"honestly"....it's not a DIY, it's an instructional on how to use attachment.

What is this machine

[@ClaudiaArnold]

Aaand... how do you do a tidy corner? I tidy them up by hand because mine always look skewed, fuzzy and dog-eared. 🧐

[@SewingPartsOnline]

I do the same thing! :) I have been unable to come up with a great way to do the corners.

[@elsie6326]

Great question, and the main reason I’ve been watching videos using the hemmer foot. And to Sewing Parts Online, thanks for a truly honest answer!

[@yellowbird500]

Because it does not allow for turning a corner, I never use this foot.

[@tammarawilliams3199]

Does this work when sewing round edges cause I’m trying to hem a top but it’s proving quite difficult but I’m determined!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Eh.. with the way the channel is designed, it'll probably be challenging to do a curved hem without resulting in puckers. To be honest with you, you're probably better off pressing/pinning thoroughly.

[@donnagafford5992]

I have tried but i still can't get it to work.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

It definitely takes a little practice!

[@onestopplus1]

I lost a fight with mine this morning and ended up hemming the old fashioned way. It was less frustrating.

[@mouniamoon750]

You have to iron it first as you clearly did but you didn't mention it.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

I actually find I get better results from finger pressing. Here is our full tutorial. I timestamped it where I started the process. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/poSanGSgdpWqg9k
