<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 325152, member: 5833"]Trying to remember - a long time since I saw one in use. It let you determine just where you wanted the hem to be & you would fold the excess fabric under & secure with a straight pin. Think you usually did have to keep moving around & place pins at intervals because it's not likely to lead to desired result just to do one spot & conclude you could hem up the same amount of material all round. Seem to remember head stayed where positioned by friction, not requiring a screw or something that way. It has to be able to stand on its own. This doesn't look like it could.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
