Blind Hem Stitch
Stitch selector: H or I
Needle thread tension: 1 to 4
Presser foot: Zigzag foot
On heavyweight fabrics that ravel, the raw edge
should be overcast first. Then fold the hem, as
illustrated, leaving 1/4”(0.7 cm) of the hem edge
showing.
Position the fabric under the presser foot so the
needle stitches on the single layer (right side) of
the fabric and the zigzag barely pierces the edge
of the fold (left side).
After hemming is completed, open out the fabric
until the stitches lie flat, then press wrong side of
the finished hem. The top side of the fabric
should show only the blind stitches.

The needle should fall off the edge of the fabric
on the right forming a tuck.
