Blind stitch feet are available in two sizes at the BERNINA specialized store. 0.5 for thin
up to medium weight fabrics / 1.0 for medium weight up to heavy weight fabrics.
⦁ Attach the appropriate blind stitch foot.
⦁ 3- or 2-thread overlock right needle.
⦁
Stitch length up to 4.
⦁
Release the thread tension of the needle.
⦁
Adjust the guide on the presser foot adequately.
⦁
Do a test run using a piece of the same fabric to be used.
A Fold the hem to the required depth and press. Fold the hem back against the right side
of the garment. In doing so there is a soft fold (1) on the wrong side of the fabric.
B Place the fabric under the presser foot with the 'wrong' side up. Feed the folded edge
through the guide (3) in front of the foot and lower the presser foot. Sew the first stitch
(or a number of stitches) on a spare part of the original fabric and adjust the guide so
that the needle only marginally pierces the folded edge. Adjust the guide by means of
the small screw (2) on the top of the foot. When the guide is correctly set, sew the hem.
The outside edge will be cut away.
C At the end, open the hem and press again. The stitches should be almost invisible on
the 'right' of the fabric.
