I've been using a "blind hem stitch" on my machine for this - but it sometimes puckers the fabric. To remedy this, I thought maybe the needle was dull, so I decided to replace it. I got down my little box of sewing "stuff" that came with my very basic sewing machine 20 years ago. While searching for a new needle, I found a weird DOUBLE NEEDLE. It is an amazing thing!! So simple, so easy, made me so happy!!
You thread the needles just like you would one needle - just using two spools of thread. Both threads go thru the tension wheel together.
This is the result - a very even, smooth hem!!
Here I've pulled the hem aside so you can see both the top and the "wrong" side. I'm a happy camper - see, it doesn't take much to make me happy!

Dang, I bet my old sewing machine has that too. It is probably 25 yrs old! maybe I'll look in my lil box! Good job, girl.
That is AWESOME!

Don't quite understand how that works, I don't think my machine ever had one like that but the results are fantastic. That color is you and the thread is a perfect match. MOM
