Blind Hem Foot (D)
1. Fold the fabric as shown in the illustration.
a. Medium, Heavy weight fabric
b. Light weight fabric
c. Wrong side of fabric
d. Overcasting
2. The guide (e) on the blind foot ensures even
feeding of the fabric when blind hem stitching.
The guide (e) is adjusted by turning the
adjusting screw (f).
3. Place fabric so that the straight stitches (or
small zigzag stitches) are on the protruding
hem edge and the large zigzag stitches just
catch one thread of the folded edge (g). If
necessary, turn the screw (f) to adjust the foot
so that the needle barely touches the folded
edge of the fabric.
4. Lower the presser foot and sew hem, guiding
fabric evenly along the guide.
5. Turn the fabric over when you have completed
sewing.
c. Wrong side of fabric
h. Right side of fabric
Note: Test on a scrap piece of fabric similar to
your project so you can determine the best
placement of the foot's guide.
