Blindhem stitch– No 5
The blindhem 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.
B
•
Fold the hem back on itself so approximately 3/8" (1 cm of
the fi nished 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 barely shows.
Elastic blind stitch – No 6
The elastic blind stitch is especially suitable for stretchy fabrics,
because the zigzag in the stitch lets the stitch stretch. The hem
is fi nished and sewn at the same time. There is no need to fi nish
the raw edge fi rst on most knits.
Create the blindhem as described above.
