Blind Stitch - Singer FUTURA XL-400 Instruction Manual

BLIND STITCH

SETTINGS :Presser foot - Blind Hem Foot
:Thread tension control - S
- Regular blind stitch for normal fabrics
- Elastic blind stitch for soft, stretchable fabrics
1. First finish the raw edge. Do this by turning it under on fine
fabrics or overcasting it on medium to heavyweight fabrics.
Then turn the hem up the required depth, press and pin in
place.
2. Now fold the fabric as illustrated.
3. Place the fabric under the foot. Turn the handwheel counter
clockwise (toward you) by hand until the needle swings fully
to the left. It should just pierce the fold of the fabric. If it does
not, adjust the guide (B) on the Blind hem Foot (A) so that
the needle just pierces the fabric fold and the guide just rests
against the fold.
NOTE: For a narrower or wider blind hem, first
manually adjust the length and width controls to
your desired length and width. Then adjust the
guide on the foot.
Sew slowly, guiding the fabric carefully along the edge of
the guide.
4. When completed, the stitching is almost invisible on the
right side of the fabric.
NOTE: It takes practice to sew blind hem. Always
make a sewing test first.
