Multi-Step Zigzag Stitch; Blind Hems - Singer M1250 Instruction Manual

Multi-Step Zigzag Stitch

Multi-step zigzag stitch is used to overcast raw edges. Make
sure the needle pierces the fabric on the left side and overcasts
the edge on the right side.
The stitch can also be used as an elastic stitch to allow seams to
stretch when sewing knit fabrics.

Blind Hems

The blind hem stitch is used to make invisible hems on skirts,
trousers and home décor projects. There are two types of blind
hem; one is recommended for medium to heavy woven fabric
(1), the other for medium to heavy stretch fabric (2).
• Finish the raw edge of the hem if sewing on a woven
fabric. There is no need to finish the raw edge first on most
knits.
• Fold and press the hem allowance to the wrong side.
• Fold the hem back on itself so approximately 3/8" (1 cm)
of the finished edge extends beyond the fold. The wrong
side of your project should now be facing up.
• Place the fabric under the presser foot so that the fold runs
along the presser foot as illustrated (A).
• When the needle swings into the fold it should catch a
small amount of fabric.
