Blindhem stitch – No 30
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.
• 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 31
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.
