Blind Hem Stitches
The stretch blind hem 4 is a great method for finishing a
hemline or sleeve.
Use the woven blind hem 5 on non-stretch fabrics. Finish
the raw hem edge with a zigzag or 3 step zigzag q
before sewing the blind hem.
Select 4 or 5.
Fold up the hem allowance and press. Fold under the
hem toward right side of garment. Leave a 6.5 – 10mm
(1/4˝ to 3/8˝) extension e at the right.
w Wrong side of the fabric.
Position the fabric (wrong side up) so the folded edge r
is to the left side of the guide t. Lower the presser foot.
Hand turn the flywheel and check if wide zigzag catches
only one or two fibers of the fold. The straight stitch (or
narrow zigzag) will be sewn on the single fabric layer.
If the guide needs adjustment: raise needle out of fabric,
lift presser foot, turn the adjustment nut y and move the
guide to the right or left. Reposition fabric against guide,
check needle swing by turning flywheel, lower presser
foot and sew hemline.
Unfold and open fabric right side facing up.
Stitches should be almost invisible.
NOTE: If the needle catches too much of the fold, the
stitches will show on the right side.
