Excerpt from Clark's O. N. T. Book of Needlework: Sewing, Crochet, Darning, Knitting, Embroidery
A detail of plain hemming is shown at Fig. 3. To insure an even hem, draw a thread from the material and out on this line. Fold down the raw edge as narnow as possible, then fold the material a second time, sewing on the folded edge. Insert the needle and fasten thread under the fold; then, pointing the needle toward the left in' a slanting direction, take up a few threads of the material below the fold, bringing the needle out through the edge of the fold (see illustration).
