Bernina rolled hem foot 66.
The hems range from 2 mm 6 mm and work on light to medium weight fabrics.
Bernina has five presser feet that make narrow double turned hems easy and quick to sew.
Roll and shell hemmer 69 is a special presser foot for hemming soft fabrics such as tricot.
With the aid of a scroll it turns the fabric under twice holding it together securely in the channel guide in the sole of the foot until it is sewn.
Zigzag hemmer foot 63 is an expert when it comes to double turned hems.
The hem is then sewn with a zigzag stitch.
The finished hem then easily advances underneath the foot enabling smooth sewing.

The scroll on the front of the foot turns the fabric under twice then sews it with a zigzag stitch.
