Are you really acquainted with your sewing machine? Do you know how to use all the attachments? Do you know everything that each attachment will do?
Run over the list and see if you know how to use the following attachments:
- Narrow hemmer
- Wide hemmer
- Binder
- Tucker
- Ruffler
- Edge stitcher
- Corder

Narrow Hemmer.—This attachment is merely another kind of a sewing machine foot. The foot of the machine is removed and the hemmer is put on in its place.
It is possible to do several things with a narrow hemmer. If you are using this attachment, it isn't even necessary to crease the edge in order to turn a narrow hem. Just guide the goods and as it feeds through the foot, the edge is rolled and stitched at one time. See Fig. 30.
It is excellent for hemming a cuff or a trimming piece. It does not work well on curved edges.
