Can I just tell you how much I am in love?
This is some practice stitches with the 1/2" Distinctive from Amazon.
I feel ready to start my next hammock project (integrated bug net).

I don’t sew on commission, so please don’t ask. Thanks.
Jellyfish, you definitely have the magic touch! If I had any hair left I'd have pulled it all out trying to use these things.
It only took 3 tries to get something that would work with my machine. Try 1 didn't fit. Try 2 broke a needle! Hahaha
This is the set that I got.
Distinctive 4-8", 6-8" and 8-8" Wide Rolled Hem 3-Piece Hemmer Sewing Foot Package - Fits All Low Shank Snap-On Singer, Brother, Babylock, Euro-Pro, J https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008NWIN06..._HfnuJldLFdl8c
I am getting a complete rotation for a 1/2" double rolled hem, so another 1/2" is tucked inside. I still haven't tried the other 2 wider hem feet in this kit.

Your set appears to be relatively flat where mine has the scroll pointing up a considerable angle. I have to hold the fabric up in the air, and it still doesn't work very well. I paid 50 bucks for the first set and I'm not too anxious to shell out another 40 just to find I still can't make it work. Maybe some of us were just meant to do things the "hard" way.
I also like that yours is a snap-on and doesn't require switching to some goofy adapter.

I just ordered these. (Had the brainstorm last night as I tried to sleep, what if....? Spent the last hour this morning trying to figure out what to Google for. I ordered this set, then I thought "What do the hammockers say about this?" Duh!)

These are $10 and Amazon says their "Amazon's Choice," whatever that means.
The tucked fabric is pretty long in all of the available wide hemmer presser feet.
Now I'm wondering if there's a Wide Hemmer Foot with a shorter tuck piece (the bit that's hidden). I know I could hold off a bit. But my (limited) experience is that folding presser feets want to do it's thing the way it's designed.

jellyfish,
Is there a way you could do a quick video on the 1/2" rolled hem? Specifically how you get it started in the guide and maybe the first couple inches of feeding the fabric? I just ordered the set you have but have a cheap knockoff one at home that I can play around with.
