Can someone please help me to understand this?

I can't seem to wrap my mind around these instructions...

Machine Invisible Hem Stitch

This one takes some practice, as stated above, but is very easy once you get the hang of it. Fold under to the desired hem width. Set your machine to "hem stitch" (refer to your machine's manual). Then, bend back the edge of the hem, away from the garment. Stitch along this edge, and with every fourth stitch or so your needle will zig-zag over to catch the edge of the garment side. If it zig-zags too far into the garment, it will show more. If it just barely catches it, it may break away.

Why can't I get this? It's the "bend back the edge of the hem, away from the garment" that I can't figure out for some reason....probably need more visuals...
