I admire your devotion to your family to such an extent that you are willing to sew pillowcases.<br /><br />By your rolled hem I see where the difficulty lies with your foot, and I admire you for tackling it again.<br /><br />So, from the top, the foot is shaped a little like an H, where the crossbar is the rolling bit, and then there are flat parts sticking out to either side; the one to the right of the curly bit is longer and sticks forward (I'll call that the "tongue") and to the left the flat part is level more or less with the curly bit - let's all this the "cheek". I'm pretty sure that's not the official word, but I'm going for it (and OK, it doesn't look like a letter H, but never mind.)<br /><br />When you roll the hem, the fabric must go EXACTLY between the tongue and the cheek. Too little fabric, no roll. Too much, sticky-out threads, since the roller tries to feed too much fabric into the roll and can't handle it. So, put the fold just inside the tongue and make sure the cut edge is just inside the cheek. <br /><br />The mis-position of the fabric is also why you are getting a spiral, since it's feeding too much in.ejvchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990256443923019343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-31578126353115167352009-11-30T18:48:08.503+10:002009-11-30T18:48:08.503+10:00You might be blogging about pillow cases but this ...You might be blogging about pillow cases but this ain't no ordinary pillow case.
