Blind hemming

Select pattern U14 for woven fabrics or pattern U15 for
stretch fabrics.
NOTE:
The stitch width of patterns U14 and U15 cannot
be changed, but the needle drop position will move.
How to fold the fabric
Fold the fabric to form a hem leaving a 0.5 cm (1/4")
allowance as shown.
(A) Medium to heavy fabrics: The raw edge should be
overcasted.
(B) Fine fabrics: Fold the raw edge 1 cm (1/2").
To sew
Position the fabric so that the fold comes to the left side
of the guide on the foot. Lower the presser foot.
Adjust the position of the needle drop if necessary.
Sew guiding the fold along the guide.
After sewing is finished, open the fabric flat.
The seam on the right side of the fabric is almost
invisible.

Press the adjust key to open the manual setting
window.
Press the "+" key to move the needle drop positions to
the left.
Press the "–" key to move the needle drop positions to
the right.
Press the OK key to register the settings.
The needle should just pierce the folded edge when it
comes over to the left side.

width remains consistent.
