Narrow Hem Photo-tutorial
Here is the promised How-To on narrow hems. Narrow hems are, I suspect, nobody's favorite. In this tutorial I show how I tackle the problem. It doesn't make it a snap (alas) but at least you are left with a nice/clean/regular result you can be proud of. I am using the Bernina Aurora 440 that came to live with me for twelve months, I was particularly happy during this project (the sling) with the ease with which the sewing machine handles multiple layers. It sewed over folds with gusto and I felt very little stretch... Great stuff!

Great idea for a tutorial. I haven't been able to tackle a narrow hem. Next time I'm ready to try it I'll be using your tutorial. Thanks!
