What does HEMMER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who sews hems, or a sewing-machine attachment that folds the edge of cloth under and stitches it.
In a workshop a hemmer was once the hand sewer who finished the raw edges of cloth so they would not fray. Today the word mostly names a small foot or attachment fitted to a sewing machine, which turns the fabric edge over as it feeds through so the stitching comes out even. The metalworking trade borrows the term too, for a tool that folds over the edge of thin sheet.
