HUSQVARNA® VIKING® Coverstitch Hemmer Attachment

The HUSQVARNA® VIKING® Coverstitch Hemmer Attachment is designed to turn under 25mm (1 inch) of fabric, creating a perfectly straight hem without the need for excessive pressing.

Recommended fabrics: Light to medium weight woven fabrics and light to medium weight stretch fabrics.

• Set your machine for a wide, narrow, or triple coverstitch with a stitch length of 3.0.
• Position the attachment plate on the machine and secure it with the two screws.
• Place the hemmer onto the attachment plate and slide it fully to the right. Secure it in place with the two thumb screws and washers.
• Fold under a 25mm (1 inch) hem of fabric and finger press the first few centimetres in place.
• Slide the fabric (right side facing up) into the hemmer from the right-hand side so the hem curls under the attachment.
• Raise the presser foot, pull the fabric under the foot and extend it 2–3cm (1–2 inches) behind the needle. Lower the presser foot and turn the handwheel to make a few stitches, securing the fabric.
• Sew a few stitches to check the coverstitch position. To adjust, loosen the thumb screws and shift the hemmer to the left until the desired needle position is reached. Always test on a fabric scrap before sewing your project.
• Ensure the fabric stays folded under when feeding into the attachment to help the fabric roll neatly under while sewing.

• If your machine has a free-arm option, it makes sewing continuous or circular hems much easier.
• For heavier fabrics or when stitching over seams, increase the stitch length up to 4.0.
• When crossing seams, gently guide the fabric through the hemmer for smoother feeding.
