Blindhem
Blindhem foot G is best suited for
invisible hems; sewing by hand is no
longer necessary.
Note: On heavy weight fabrics that ravel, the
raw edge should be overcasted rst.
Serge the edge of the hem
Fold the edge inwards by the hem width.
Now unfold the hem again so that the
hem edge protrudes by about 1 cm.
Place the fabric under the sewing foot
so that the needle just pierces the folded
edge. If the needle pierces too far left,
move the guide slightly to the left. If the
needle misses the fold, move the guide
slightly to the right.
Sew slowly while guiding the folded edge
along the guide.
When the needle enters the crease line, it
must only pick up one ber of the fabric.
Note: If the needle goes too far left, the
stitches will be apparent on the right side of
the fabric.
