This is very interesting. Do you think other sewing chores should be done like this, too? or just the rolled hem?

I was talking to a friend at work who quilts and she said that is the recommendation for free motion quilting. I will have to try it on other things that give me fits, like maybe blind hemming.

I am not sure how you are doing this. Are you using your regular sewing machine and a rolled hem foot?

Great idea!

Well, I never thought of doing this before, so thanks for sharing!

Nancy K, I am using my regular machine and a rolled hem foot. It took me a full day for my hands and shoulders to recover after I did my DD's prom dress (yards of beaded organza). This is much better body mechanics.

What a great idea, I can see the benefits you can obtain by turning the machine. Will be trying it soon.

I'll have to try it. Do you have a walking foot? Would that also be helpful? My machine is a Pfaff 7530, and I have a foot that can be raised and lowered, and I think (but am not sure) used in conjunction with a rolled hem foot, in that it simply pivots down behind whatever foot is put on the shaft. Those who quilt like it because it holds several layers of fabric steady, and it is supposed to be great for slippery fabrics like layers of chiffon. So I would assume it would help. I am just learning these techniques myself.

Needlenorth, I do have a walking foot. In fact, just started using it a lot in some stages of clothing construction after I went to my first ever formal sewing class. (Brother NX 400) It came with my machine and I thought it was only for quilting. However, I wasn't aware that you could combine the walking foot with any other attachments. Tell me more!
