Left part of hemmer decide distance between edge of material and row of chainstich line.When move this part into left distance get longer – opposite direction distance get short.Right part of hemmer decide – distance between right edge of bottom part of jeans leg and left edge overlapped section of material.If this part move to right distance get bigger if to the left smaller.

Hey dude,
we had to figure it out ourselves too and it took some hours even days to figure it all out.
What also helps is to iron the selvage so it almost sticks to the rest of the denim, that works for us!
Thanks for the kind words about our shop and we think the same way about yours.
if you give me your mail adress we can send you some pics of ours and some denims we shortened with it!
Grzzzz. Roger

Roger you’re absolutely right – thankfully I’ve improved since I started (or else we’d have some angry customers!) I should post some updated photos soon. Great shop you have, by the way!
