Use a thread colour that exactly matches the fabric.
If you are sewing very light or transparent fabrics, use a transparent nylon
thread.
` Fold the fabric as shown in the diagram.
` Set the presser foot using the adjusting screw B so that the straight
stitches are sewn on the hem and the points of the zigzag stitches only
penetrate the upper fold of the fabric.
Sew on the pleat as shown in the diagram.
` Now take the fabric out of the machine and straighten it out.
The folded-out fabric now has a blind hem stitch.
TIP
Sewing blind stitch requires some practice and should be practised on
remnants of fabric before sewing.
