hemmer
Fabric edge finisher
A hemmer is a person or device that makes hems—the folded, stitched edges of fabric.
In sewing, a hemmer attachment on a machine automatically folds and guides fabric for even hems: The hemmer foot made quick work of the curtains.
Someone who hems garments professionally might also be called a hemmer.
