I actually like a nice almond-shaped fingernail. It's when they move into cashew territory that I get uncomfortable.
Oh, Peter!
Mine look more like Macadamia nuts.
Eeek! I'll never post anything like this again!
Susan,
I just bought a vintage adjustable hemmer with an adapter to fit my Bernina. I received the instructions (also vintage) and I can NOT for the life of me figure out how to insert the fabric. I read both of your hemmer posts, and still can't figure it out. I am wondering if you can help me. You seem to be the vintage sewing stuff guru. My fabric either fold up, or it just slips out to the right. Thank you! my email is escnkoehler@gmail.com Thank you!

I'll email you, Stacey. Sometimes with the hemmer you do have to pull more than you'd think to get the fabric into it and started.
