HAND PICKED HEM
Fabric: Lightweight broadcloth – 6” x 7”
Needle: 80/12 Universal
Thread: All-purpose
Presser Foot: Blind Hem Foot #5
Owner’s manual pg.___
• Turn up a 1” hem along one of the 6” edges and press.
• Turn up the depth of the hem again and press.
• Fold the entire hem toward the right side of the garment, so that the garment fold is
almost even with the top edge of the hem. A scant
1
/8” to
1
/16” of hem edge should
be visible. This will ensure that both folds are caught by the blind hem pick.
• Place the fabric under the foot just as a traditional blind hem would be placed.
• Sew the hem with Blindstitch #3/green, making sure that the zigzag pick catches both
folds while the straight stitch falls off the edge and stitches in air forming a chain
along the upper hem edge.
• Press and mount the sample.
