Default Rolled Hem

David Coffin, in his book on shirt making says a rolled hemming foot is a
must and the greatest thing since icecream.

So I bought one and gave up after an hour or so of trying to make it work.
Neither his instructions nor the ones that came with the foot provide enough
info to get it right.

I assume these things work and so it must be me but are there any tricks
that I am missing?

Get this book: it has the best instructions. The rolled hem foot takes
weeks of practice!
