As a genre, spy fiction is thematically related to the novel of adventure (The Prisoner of Zenda, 1894, The Scarlet Pimpernel, 1905), the thriller (such as the works of Edgar Wallace) and the politicoâmilitary thriller (The Schirmer Inheritance, 1953, The Quiet American, 1955).
Hems can be adjusted by hand stitching, by sewing with a machine, or by using hemming tape that is melted with a warm iron to glue the material together. This page explains how to hem using a sewing machine that can do blind stitching. Many sewing machines costing less than $100 Dollars have this capability. In addition to the sewing machine, you will need scissors, a seam ripper, thread matching the color of the material, a tape measure, an iron, and an ironing board.
Sewing the Hem. 1  1. Measure and cut your thread. The length you use depends on the circumference of the hem, but it's always better to have too much thread than too little. 2  2. Prepare your needle and garment. Thread a small needle and tie a knot at the other end of the thread. 3  3. Start with a tiny stitch at the seam line on the wrong side of the hem. In other words, you're bringing the needle up from behind the upper edge of the hem fold. Do not pass this stitch through to the right side of the garment. It should only go through the hem fold.
