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.

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.

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: http://tinyurl.com/eayq8
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.
