How to sew an Overlock Blind Hem
The excess fabric is trimmed and the hem is sewn and
the raw edges are overlocked in one operation.
The overlock blind hem is best suited for sewing knit
wear. It provides a durable finish that is almost
invisible.
Use overlock right needle and adjust machine for a
narrow 3–thread overlock stitch. (Refer page 34)
–
Set the stitch length dial at 4.
–
Fold the hem to the wrong side of the fabric,
then back to the right side with 1/4" (6 mm)
beyond the fold.
–
Stitch on the extended hem edge, allowing the
machine needle to barely catch the edge of the
fold.
PLEASE NOTE:
An optional blindstitch foot is available. (Refer
page 51)
How to sew Pin Tucks
–
Sew decorative pin tucks on the fabric before
cutting out the garment.
–
Use overlock right needle and adjust machine
for a narrow 3–thread overlock stitch. (Refer
page 34)
–
Place the movable upper knife in the nonworking
position. (Refer page 13)
–
Mark the fabric with the desired number of pin
tucks using a water–soluble fabric marker.
PLEASE NOTE:
The rolled hem stitch can also be used for this-
technique.
