Blind Hem Stitch
Stitch selector: 8 or 9
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 so the needle at its leftmost
position just pierces the edge of the fold.
After hemming is completed, press together both
sides of the finished hem. The top side of the
fabric should show only the blind stitches.
