Blindhem Stitch - Singer CONFIDENCE 7463 Manual

BLINDHEM STITCH

The blindhem stitch is primarily used for hemming curtains,
trousers, skirts, etc.
Settings : Presser foot - Blind stitch foot
: Thread Tension Control: AUTO
- Regular blind stitch for normal firm fabrics
- Elastic blind stitch for soft, stretchable fabrics
1. With matching thread finish the raw edge. On fine fabric
turn up and press a small ½" or less hem. On medium to
heavyweight fabrics overcast the fabric's raw edge.
2. Now fold the fabric as illustrated with the wrong side up.
3. Place the fabric under the foot. Turn the handwheel
towards you by hand until the needle swings fully to the
left. It should just pierce the fold of the fabric. If it does not,
adjust the guide (B) on the Blindhem Foot (A) so that the
needle just pierces the fabric fold and the guide just rests
against the fold.
NOTE: In addition to the adjustment on the foot,
the stitch width control can be used. The stitch
width control changes the swing of the needle for a
more narrow or wider stitch.
Sew slowly, guiding the fabric carefully along the edge of
the guide.
4. When completed, the stitching is almost invisible on the
right side of the fabric.
NOTE: It takes practice to sew blind hems. Always
make a sewing test first.
