      Or start a new thread so that people who are not interested do not have to see clutter in a very popular thread.  Actually one of the mods, can you do that?

          Mr G. Sure, I'm done with this topic and sure didn't want to start peeing contest or flaming.

          My bad, excuses to everybody who might have been offended.

          No need to open a new thread in my point of view. If somebody wants to do that I can contribute, but in constructive way.

                          am i missing something? looks like a standard hem. just an folder foot on a straight sewer will do the trick unless you want one just for hems then you'll obviously need a leg hemmer.

                          let hemmer would have a free arm so you can hem with leg still the right way round [just like your union special] but on a plain sewer you will need to turn the leg inside out.

                              No you are not missing anything, but I do not have a folder that will do this nor do not know whether I can get one that will fit my old Singer, hence I've asked my local industrial sewing machine man to sort me out – I may need just a folder, I may need a new machine plus folder.  Either way, I do not know the answer….

                                if i may suggest try doing some hand folding. once you get the hang of it you would never bother using a folder again

                                    a lady I know who used to do a lot of sewing/clothes etc. once advised me to iron the fold, then use needles in 90° angle to the stitch to avoid moving of the fold.

                                    I sew normal hems from the inside so I can see the hem "edge" I'm supposed to sew.

                                    Dunno if this helps…

                                      haha fair enough. i am a tailor [or at least that's what i call myself] so it comes naturally to me.

                                      in that case i would get a leg hemmer if you can  🙂
