It takes practice to sew blind hem. Always
make a sewing test first.
Fold the fabric as illustrated with the reverse
side uppermost.
First carry out an overcasting stitch as
shown in left picture.
Place the fabric under the foot. Turn the
handwheel forwards by hand until the needle
swings fully to the left. It should just pierce
a
the fold of the fabric. If it does not, adjust the
stitch width accordingly.
Adjust the guide (b) by turning the knob (a)
so that the guide just rests against the fold.
Sew slowly, guiding the fabric carefully along
the edge of the guide.
Turn over the fabric.
