Brother SA221CV Hemming Set – Single & Double Fold Hems
The Brother SA221CV Hemming Set is a practical coverstitch accessory designed to help you create straight, even single-fold and double-fold hems quickly and neatly.
The hem guide helps keep the fabric folded and aligned as you sew, making it easier to achieve a professional-looking finish on garments, stretch fabrics and home décor projects.
Perfect For
- T-shirt hems
- Stretch and knit garments
- Sleeve hems
- Skirts and dresses
- Casual and activewear
- Table runners
- Home décor sewing
- Projects requiring neat, consistent hems
Single or Double Fold Hems
One of the advantages of the SA221CV Hemming Set is its ability to assist with both single-fold and double-fold hems.
The guide helps keep the fabric edge positioned consistently as it approaches the needles, reducing the need to manually control the fold while sewing.
Neat, Even Coverstitch Hems
Coverstitch machines are ideal for creating the professional-style hems commonly seen on ready-to-wear garments. The Brother SA221CV makes the process even easier by helping guide the folded fabric evenly through the machine.
This can be particularly useful when sewing long hems where maintaining an even fold by eye can be difficult.

How the Hemming Set Works
The hem guide is positioned on the machine so that the folded edge of the fabric is guided consistently towards the needles.
As you sew, the guide helps maintain the width and position of the hem, allowing your coverstitch machine to create an even row of stitching along the folded edge.
This makes it much easier to achieve a clean, consistent finish around garment hems and other straight or gently curved edges.
Great for Stretch & Knit Fabrics
A coverstitch machine is especially useful for hemming knit and stretch fabrics because the finished stitch retains flexibility while providing a neat, ready-to-wear appearance.
Used with your Brother coverstitch machine, the SA221CV Hemming Set can help make hemming T-shirts, tops, dresses, activewear and other stretch garments faster and more consistent.
Also Suitable for Home Décor Projects
Brother also recommends the hemming set for projects such as table runners and other home décor items, making it useful beyond garment sewing.
Tips for Best Results
- Press the hem into position before sewing for the neatest result.
- Test your hem width and stitch settings on a fabric scrap first.
- Make sure the fabric is feeding smoothly through the hem guide.
- Allow the guide and feed dogs to move the fabric rather than pulling it from behind.
- Use a steady sewing speed to maintain an even hem.
- Match your coverstitch settings to the fabric type and weight.
- After fitting the attachment, turn the handwheel manually to check needle clearance before sewing.
Why Use a Hemming Guide?
Keeping a folded hem perfectly even while coverstitching can be difficult, particularly over longer lengths of fabric. A hemming guide helps maintain a more consistent fold and keeps the fabric positioned correctly under the needles.
The result is a neater, more professional-looking finish with less stopping and repositioning while you sew.
