2. Setup and Installation
Before installing the hemmer, ensure your sewing machine is turned off and unplugged for safety. This hemmer attaches to your sewing machine using the existing attachment mounting holes located next to the needle plate on the machine bed.
- Identify Mounting Holes: Locate the two screw holes on your sewing machine's bed, typically to the right of the needle plate.
- Position the Hemmer: Align the two slots on the hemmer's mounting bracket with the screw holes on your machine.
- Secure with Screws: Use the provided thumb screws to firmly attach the hemmer to your sewing machine. Hand-tighten the screws to ensure a secure fit without over-tightening.
- Test Swing Mechanism: Once attached, gently swing the hemmer away from the needle area and back to ensure it moves freely and locks into position when needed.

3. Operating Instructions
The Double Fold Clean Finish Swing Hemmer is designed to guide fabric into a perfect double-fold hem, providing a professional and durable finish.
- Prepare Fabric: Ensure the edge of your fabric is cut straight. For best results, a slight initial fold or ironed crease can help guide the fabric into the hemmer.
- Insert Fabric: Gently feed the edge of your fabric into the scroll of the hemmer. The hemmer will automatically fold the fabric twice, creating a clean edge.
- Begin Sewing: Lower your presser foot and needle. Start sewing slowly, guiding the fabric consistently through the hemmer. The hemmer will maintain the correct fold as you sew.
- Maintain Tension: Ensure your sewing machine's tension is appropriate for your fabric type to achieve a smooth, even stitch.
- Swing-Away Feature: When you need to access the needle area or switch to a different sewing operation, simply swing the hemmer away from the needle. It will remain attached to the machine, ready for use again.

4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your EverNice Double Fold Clean Finish Swing Hemmer, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the hemmer with a soft, dry cloth to remove any lint, dust, or fabric fibers that may accumulate.
- Lubrication: No lubrication is required for this attachment.
- Storage: Store the hemmer in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust or damage.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the hemmer for any signs of bending, damage, or loose screws. Ensure the swing mechanism operates smoothly.
5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Hemmer does not fit machine. | Machine lacks compatible mounting holes or has a different bed design. | Verify your sewing machine has the standard attachment mounting holes next to the needle plate. This hemmer is designed for flat bed machines with these specific attachment points. Consult your sewing machine's manual for attachment compatibility. |
| Fabric does not feed smoothly. | Fabric is too thick/thin, not properly aligned, or hemmer is loose. | Ensure the hemmer is securely attached. Adjust fabric alignment before feeding. For very thick or very thin fabrics, practice on scraps to find optimal feeding technique. |
| Hem is uneven or inconsistent. | Inconsistent fabric feeding, incorrect needle/thread, or machine tension issues. | Maintain a steady, even pace when feeding fabric. Check your sewing machine's needle and thread for suitability with your fabric. Adjust machine tension as needed. |
