Blind Hemming - Overlock

Your Baby Lock Ovation can create a sturdy, nearly invisible

blindhem.

1. Set the machine for 2-Thread Overlock with the O-2

needle threaded. Set the stitch width at 5.0 and the stitch
length at 4.0 in the standard range.

2. Fold up the hemline and press it in place. Then fold the

hem allowance back against the fabric's right side to
create a fold about 1/4 " from the top edge of the hem as
shown. (fig. A)

3. Align the fold under the presser foot and stitch, allowing

the needle to catch only a thread or two of the soft fold; the
blade will trim the top edge of the hem and the loopers will
overcast the edge for a clean finish. (fig. B)

4. Open the fold and press flat. (fig. C)

Note: An optional blindhem foot for consistent guiding is
available through your Baby Lock retailer. (fig. D)
