Blindhem stitch
The blindhem stitch is best suited for
invisible hems; sewing by hand is no
longer necessary. Use Blindhem stitch H
for wool fabrics and Blindhem stitch D
for stretch fabrics. For Blindhem stitch D
the hem is sewn and overcast at the same
time.
• Serge the edge of the hem (only
neccessary for stitch H).
• Fold the edge inwards by the hem
width.
• Now unfold the hem again so that the
hem edge protrudes by about 1 cm
• Place the fabric under the presser foot
so that the crease line runs along edge
guide B.
• Using the needle positioning dial (27),
select the needle position to the right
.
• When the needle enters the crease line,
it must only pick up one À ber of the
fabric.
Remember!
If the stitches are visible on the right side,
adjust edge guide B by turning adjusting
screw A.
Tip: If you chose to sew Blindhem stitch H or
Blidhem stitch D with stitch width less than 5,
use foot nr.0.
