Making buttonholes by hand on the sewing machine is not very convenient, but if there is no other choice, you can try.

How to use the hemming foot
Is there a quick and easy way to get a perfect hem on thin, sheer fabrics or a rounded edge on a skirt? Answer. Yes, if you are using the hemming foot.
Undercasting foot, double hemming foot, narrow selvedge foot. These are all the names of a great sewing machine foot. It has a curved channel in the front that doubles the raw edge before the needle stitches the edge. This eliminates the need to manually press the fabric down before sewing and creates a perfectly flat and neat narrow selvedge.
Most modern sewing machines come with an edge-folding foot. But if you don’t have one, you can buy one separately at craft stores or online. I’ve seen some feet cost quite a bit, but I don’t think there’s any difference between them. That’s why I don’t see the point in buying expensive ones.
What the hemming foot looks like?
This foot is for a Janome sewing machine. It snaps into place, allowing you to quickly swap it for another presser foot if needed. Some machines have a screw-in type of presser foot.
Note the curved channel at the front of the foot. This is the fixture for wrapping the edge of the fabric.
What the hemming foot is for?
- It is quicker to fold an edge with the hemming foot than to fold the edge by hand and then stitch the edge straight;
- The edge comes out neat and even;
- You can hem transparent and synthetic fabrics that are difficult to wrap;
- It is easiest to use the foot on straight edges, but with a little practice, you can use it for rounded hems as well;
- The hemming foot is not suitable for sewing in corners and steep curves.
In the red dress below, the edges of all ruffles and sleeves have a fine hemming. For the pink dress. hem and sleeve edges. Both fabrics are most likely a mixture of polyester and other materials, and it would be impossible to tuck the edge without a special foot.
Types of hemming feet
To accommodate different hems, double hemming feet come in a variety of sizes. The most common presser foot type. This is a 3mm width. They also come in 6mm. If you have a curved hem or sheer fabric to hem, a smaller presser foot will give you the best results.
Setting up the sewing machine for sewing with the hemming foot
Set a small stitch length on your sewing machine. Because of the narrow edge width the stitch looks best when you set the step length about 2 mm.
If you need to sew a zigzag stitch on an edge, it is possible with this foot.
How to prepare the edge of the fabric?
Check the fabric to make sure the edge is not unraveled or stretched. A clean, straight cut gives you a neat edge without any threads sticking out or fabric sticking out.
If the fabric is very loose, trim the edge just before sewing.
So, let’s look at the sequence of how to work with the foot:
Tuck in the hem twice at 3mm each. Secure it with a pin as shown.
We need to hand-twist 8 cm from the beginning of the edge.
Preparing to sew
Lower the presser foot onto the fabric and remove the pin. Sew 4 stitches while holding the thread behind the work so the stitching latches onto the fabric.
If you forget and don’t hold the thread in the back, you may have a thread jam.
Sew the edge
After making 4 stitches, stop the machine so that the needle stays in the fabric. That will keep the fabric from slipping out when we raise the presser foot.
Lift the foot and insert the folded fabric into the bend of the foot. Lower the presser foot again.
The trick is not to twist the fabric too much. Let the presser foot do the work. Start sewing by guiding the fabric.
See how graceful the edge is! I could not get such a result without a special foot for selvedge (3 mm). In the past, when I tried to tuck the edge by hand, I burned my fingers with an iron while ironing the edges.
Tips for using the hemstitching foot
- Bend the edge slightly as you work. It took me a little practice to figure out exactly how to hold the edge to get the best results.
- Don’t try to twist or pull the fabric, let the curved channel do all the work. You will probably have to stop work often to move your hand forward.
- If your edge looks wrinkled or stretched after folding, steam iron it. Do not iron, just fold it down and up so you don’t make any unnecessary wrinkles. If you stretch the hem a little when steaming it, it will flatten out and lay nicely.
How To: Change Presser Foot on Sewing Machine (Sewing for Beginners)
How to work the corners?
If you have to fold an edge with a corner, you have to do it in two steps. Sew the first edge all the way through. Then do the same thing with the second edge.
Note: The neatest edge in a corner can be sewn with an envelope stitch with a standard foot. But this way takes a little longer.
Now that you have gotten the idea of how to use the hemming foot, I hope you will put this knowledge into practice and create beautiful things for yourself and your loved ones.
Thank you for your attention, have a nice day and see you again!

I will definitely try it that way. I bought these feet, I sat for half a day. On the YouTube video they have it so easy, put it in and go, only the video is a bit edited. The fabric is pushed, it got into the cochlea and all, no further, and if you start sewing so the thread is tangled. Suggested and sew a thread, pull on it, too, some kind of nonsense. I will try this way, it seems to me the most reasonable.
This way is really the most convenient. The seam is perfect from the start. The only thing I would add that the fabric in front of the presser foot should be bent to double the width of the value indicated on the foot, then it will work properly. That is, if the foot at 3 mm, then bending should be 6 mm.

- The step foot does not just sew straight stitches. Diversify the pattern of the product and other types of stitching.

How to choose the right foot for your stitching
Use your sewing machine to measure the height of the presser foot. This is the distance from the center of the screw on which the foot is attached to the base of its sole. Also measure the distance from the center of the screw to the needle. For a more accurate measurement, unscrew the presser foot fixing screw. Write down this number or make a template of cardboard to measure this parameter in the store, as there are high and low stem fit presser feet.
Important! Measure the height of the presser foot when it is in the lowered position

The overlock foot is a real sewing aid
Not so long ago you could distinguish clothes bought at once from the ones sewn at home by the quality of processing the seams. Industrial technology made it possible to securely and beautifully overcast the edges of products. Modern household sewing machines make it possible to stitch the edges so that even from the wrong side the sewn thing looks neat, and the fabric does not crumble. This requires an overlock foot, which is installed on the sewing device. It provides evenly stitched and neatly overstitched edges without pulling on the fabric.
