Blindhem - Pfaff Smarter 140s Owner's Manual

Blindhem

The blindhem stitch is used to make invisible
hems on skirts, trousers and home decorating.
1. Finish the edge of the hem.
2. Fold and press the hem allowance to the
wrong side.
3. Fold the hem back on itself so approxi-
extends beyond the fold. The wrong side
of your project should now be facing up.
4. Place the fabric under the presser foot so
5. When the needle swings into the fold it
should catch a small amount of fabric. If
the stitches are visible on the right side,
catches the hem just barely shows.
Elastic Blindhem Stitch
The elastic blindhem stitch is especially suit-
able for stretchy fabrics, because the zigzag
in the stitch lets the stitch stretch. The hem is
knits.
Note: If using a stitch width other than the
recommended, swing the needle by turning the
hand wheel to make sure the needle doesn't hit the
metal pin in the foot.
