Step 4Stitch!

Stitch!
The final step is to stitch the hem down. I like to use my topstitching foot, which has one side (left) raised to accommodate the thicker folded edge. (see photos 1 and 2) .

You could also use a blind-stitch foot (one probably came with your machine) and flip the work over so the thicker fabric folds are on the raised (right) side on that foot. (See photos 3 and 4).

Remember to choose a longer stitch length than for construction, because you're going through more layers here.
