side of fabric.
No. 10 Blind hemming for stretch fabric.

Blind Hem Foot (D)
1. Fold the fabric as shown on drawing.
a. Medium, Heavy weight fabric
b. Light weight fabric
c. Wrong side of fabric
d. Overcasting
2. The guide (e) on the blind foot ensures even
feeding of the fabric when blind hem stitching.
The guide (e) is adjusted by turning the
adjusting screw (f).
3. Place fabric so that the straight stitches (or
small zigzag stitches) are on the protruding
hem edge and the large zigzag stitches just
catch one thread of the folded edge (g). Turn
the screw so that the needle barely touches the
folded edge of fabric.
4. Lower the presser foot and sew hem, guiding
fabric evenly along the guide.
5. Turn the fabric over when you have completed
sewing.
c. Wrong side of fabric
h. Right side of fabric
