Bhnd hem stitch
*
No 15
The blind hem stitch is used to make invisible hems on skirts,
trousers and home decorating.
• Finish the edge of the hem.
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 edge guide A.
• When the needle swings into the fold it should catch a small
amount of fabric. If the stitches are visible on the right side,
adjust edge guide A by turning adjusting screw B, until the
stitch that catches the hem just slightly barely showns.
The elastic blind hem stitch is especially suitable for stretchy
fabrics, because the zig zag in the stitch lets the stitch stretch. The
hem is finished and sewn at the same time. There is no need to
finish the raw edge first on most knits.
Create the blind hem as described above.
