Blindstitching
(cont.)
You
will find
the
blindstitching
presser
foot

in
the
accessory
box. Attach
it
in
the
same
way
as
the regular
presser
foot.
Fold the fabric
as
shown
in
the
sketch and
then
set
all
the
dials
to
the
purple
symbols.
This
is
an
average
setting, which
means
that you can either
increase
or
decrease
the stitch length
to
vary the
distance
between
the
catches.
Before beginning
to
sew, you
might wish
to
engage
the
power gear. Make
sure
that
the
fold line of
the
fabric follows
the guide
linc
of
the
presser
foot.
The stitch width may
also be
varied.
In
the
far left
illustration
can
be
seen
how
the
stitches
fail to
reach
the
fold
Iine
of
the fabric, indicating you
should
in-
crease the
stitch
width.
In
the middle illustration the stitch width
has
been
increased
too much,
leading
to
excessive
"bite",
in-
dicating you
should
decrease
the stitch width.
In
the right illustration is
shown
how
a
correctly
sewn blindstitched
hem
should
look. The
seam
catches
only
one
or two
threads
of
the fold
line.
