BLIND HEM

Settings: Presser foot - Blind Hem Foot,
Thread tension dial - S - E
Regular blind hem for normal fabrics
Elastic blind hem for soft, stretch fabrics
1. First nish the raw edge. Do this by turning it under on
ne fabrics or overcasting it on medium to heavyweight
fabrics.
Then fold the hem up the required depth, press and pin
in place.
2. Now fold the fabric as illustrated.
3. Place the fabric under the foot. Turn the handwheel toward
you by hand until the needle swings fully to the left. It should
just pierce the fold of the fabric. If it does not, adjust the
guide (B) on the Blind Hem Foot (A) so that the needle just
pierces the fabric fold and the guide just rests against the fold.
Sew slowly, guiding the fabric carefully along the edge of
the guide.
4. When completed, the stitching is almost invisible on the
right side of the fabric.
Note: For a narrower or wider blindhem, rst manually adjust the
length and width of the stitch to your desired length and width. Then
adjust the guide on the foot.
Note: It takes practice to sew blind hems. Always make a sewing test
rst.

Turn under the raw edge and press. Place the fabric right
side up so that the zigzag part of the stitch sews just over
