Does this foot actually make a 7mm hem?

It does if you can get it started. It's a tricky little foot to use. Check out videos on Yuotube. They make it look so easy, but it does take practice. I've tried it several times, and only got it to work once. In all fairness though, it might have been the material I was using. I'm sure it would work better with thin materials. I make outdoor flags, and wanted a fast way to get a rolled edge. Bottom weight material doesn't want to roll easily. I ended up buying the Brother 1034D serger. That makes fantastic adjustable size perfect rolled edges on thin, and heavy materials. The SA126 is a pretty cool foot if you can get it to work with the material you are using. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I would not think it would. There is a tape that is made for hems. It used to be called Stitch Witchery but not sure what they calle it now. You can get it at most retail stores in the fabric department. You have to iron it on and it bonds one side of the material to the other. When the heat hits it, it basically turns to a glue, and that can be washed several times.

Yes, the one we ordered came pre cut to size with hemmed edges. It slid into both tracks easily.

It's double-sided tape, so probably not. If you were going to use it to shorten them and hold the hem in place, that would work, but you'd have to change the tape after every washing.

I would think do. I use t hem in my work shoes, and I being a painter have to stand for long periods of time.

i am new to sewing, so i am not sure. if you mean a flat-felled seam it would probably be better to use a different foot. this is designed to catch the material and curve it up and around. granted i was using it with difficult fabrics (satin and tulle) but i found it hard to work with.

I don't know if a seven ft. bumper is made? We usually buy set an cut to length.

I got 32s and hemmed them up to 31. They look great. I didn't remove any material, but just folded them up an inch and used a sewing machine.

In addition to the attached presser foot for normal sewing, there are: a blind stitch hem foot, a hemmer foot, an overedge foot, a zipper foot, a transparent buttonhole foot, a zigzag foot and an automatic buttonhole foot. When I use a zigzag stitch, I use the normal foot (don't change it to a zigzag foot) and it works fine. I use this machine almost daily and am very satisfied.

My experience is that the Distinctive a narrow Rolled Hem Foot is good for heming, but a bit of a challenge when turning corners where there's usually thickness of the fabric. Will a bit of practice and patience you might get it to work for you.

I have hemmed light-weight denim with it. I wouldn't be afraid to hem regular jeans with it, but I would use a denim needle and a longer stitch, go very slowly, and put something under the back of the presser foot when you come to the seams so that it sits flat and stresses the needle less. They sell a little tool for that, but I've seen tutorials where they just roll up fabric.

UPDATE: I originally answered that the Distinctive Blind Hem Presser Foot would work with the Brother. Well, it does BUT NOT WITH THE BROTHER SERGER! My thanks to Margaret E. Hannibal whose answer pointed me to an overlooked fact: R.Eakin was inquiring about the Brother Serger, not an "ordinary" Brother sewing machine. The Serger is not a sewing machine as one (me) might ordinarily think: it is used to cut, sew, and edge fabrics in one step. My apologies, too, to R. Eakin for my terrific answer . . . sigh . . . that had nothing to do with the Serger. I am leaving my discussion of low-/high-shank presser feet under the heading of "General Sewing Machine Features." Regarding presser feet - in general. First some anatomy: when lowered, the presser foot sandwiches the material between itself and the feed dog (the toothy plate that advances the material); the presser foot snaps onto the shank; the shank is screwed onto the presser bar; the presser bar is what one raises and lowers to raise and lower the presser foot. For the most, there are two types of presser feet shanks: low (most) and high (some, e.g. a few singers). To determine whether the shank is low or high, with any presser foot attached to your machine, lower the presser foot all the way (no fabric on the machine) to the feed dog and measure from the feed dog (i.e., the bottom of the presser foot) to the screw hole (where the shank is screwed onto the presser bar). For low shanks, the distance will be approximately three-quarters of an inch (3/4"); for high shanks the distance will be approximately one and one-quarter inches (1 1/4"). The "Distinctive Blind Hem Sewing Machine Presser Foot" is for low shank machines. However, you can buy an attachment to adapt the a low shank machine to a high shank machine if you cannot find the appropriate high shank presser foot. Hope this is not too verbose. Ed

I believe it makes an 1/8" hem. I love mine. I made curtains and it was the perfect size for the hem.

On two needle models, it has 4.5 mm (11/64ths) and 7 mm (9/32nds). I have had this machine (my first serger) for a couple of months and am enjoying learning a new way of sewing, nice finished seams and rolled hems. I like it a lot for the price.

Yes it does. I have made a couple of hat bands using size 11 beads. They look beautiful.

Yes! This blanket has about a 1 1/2" hem and is stitched very well all the way around. Great product.

Yes, look for some you tube videos using this foot to show you the results of two fabrics. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CXCZdyazJU0 I hope this helps
