Blindstitching provides a durable hem
finish that can be used on a variety of light
and medium weight fabrics. It is best
suited to straight hems. Taped, bound,
turned, or unfinished hem edges can be
blindstitched with equal ease. Blind
stitching takes a little practice, however,
so make a test sample first.
1. Mark, turn, and press hem in the usual
way. (You may want to baste the
turned hem to hold it in place. If so,
be sure to place the basting at least
i Inch below the top edge of the hem.)
2. With the work wrong side up, turn the
hem under, creating a soft fold about
^ inch from the top edge of the hem.
Press lightly.

3. Position the hem under the foot.
4. Lower the foot and stitch so that the
straight stitches fall on the hem edge
and the sideward stitches pierce the
soft fold.
