as blouses and pillowcases. One pintuck can

Attach the blind stitch hem foot.
Place the folded fabric under the presser foot.
Position the needle 1/16" inside from the folded edge and lower the presser
foot.
Adjust the sliding guide on the blind hem foot to the folded edge by turning
the guide screw, as shown.
Feed the folded edge smoothly against the sliding guide.
NOTE: If the fabric tends to pucker, hold the material slightly taut while
sewing. Also, try decreasing the upper tension slightly.
