hemmer foot question

I have tried a universal hemmer foot on my Toyota 2400 EC1 machine without success. Although the material feed is OK the stiching falls outside the hem!! A friend mentioned that on her sewing machine there is a needle position control. My machine doesn't have this feature.The only way I can think of to try to make the foot work is to use a small shim to move the foot towards the left. Any help welcomed.

You may need to widen your stitch.

Does your hem foot have an adjustment on it? Take a look at mine here:

The red bit is an adjuster: you turn it and it moves the hem foot relevant to the needle/presser foot bar.

If you have a look at the whole article on blind hemming, you can see how it works:

If you don't have an adjustable hemmer, use the stitch width adjustment on the machine so you take a wider 'bite' at the fabric.

Many thanks for all the suggestions but in the event I just did a normal hem as I realised that thickness of finished article would be too thick to go through the hemmer foot.
