k Adjust the stitch width until the needle slightly catches
the fold of the hem.

When you change the needle drop point, raise the
needle, and then change the stitch width.
1 Thick fabric
2 Normal fabric
Memo
• Blind hem stitches cannot be sewn if the left
needle drop point does not catch the fold. If the
needle catches too much of the fold, the fabric
cannot be unfolded and the seam appearing on
the right side of the fabric will be very large,
leaving an unattractive finish. If you experience
either of these cases, perform the following
instructions to solve the problem.
■ If the needle catches too much of the hem fold
The needle is too far to the left.
Decrease the stitch width so that the needle slightly
catches the fold of the hem.
Example: Thick fabric
Example: Normal fabric
