Blind Hem - Husqvarna Viking Tribute 140C User Manual

BLIND HEM

The blind hem creates an invisible hem on garments. There
are two types of blind hem; one is recommended for
medium to heavy stretch fabric, the other for medium to
heavy woven fabric.
Fold the fabric as illustrated. Make sure the folded edge
of the fabric follows the inside of the right "toe" of Blind
Hem Foot D.
The left swing of the needle should just catch the edge of
the folded fabric.
If necessary, adjust the stitch width as needed to barely
"catch" the fold.
Note: The blind hem technique is not recommended for light weight
fabric or leather/vinyl. If you select the blind hem and light woven,
light stretch or leather and vinyl you will hear a beep and the technique
will be unselected.
