1. With matching thread finish the raw edge. On fine fabric

turn up and press a small ½” or less hem. On medium to

heavyweight fabrics overcast the fabric’s raw edge.

2. Now fold the fabric as illustrated with the wrong side up.

3. Place the fabric under the foot. Turn the handwheel

towards you by hand until the needle swings fully to the

left. It should just pierce the fold of the fabric. If it does not,

adjust the guide (B) on the Blindhem Foot (A) so that the

needle just pierces the fabric fold and the guide just rests

against the fold.

Sew slowly, guiding the fabric carefully along the edge

of the guide.

4. When completed, the stitching is almost invisible on the

right side of the fabric.

- Regular blind stitch for normal firm fabrics

- Elastic blind stitch for soft, stretchable fabrics

NOTE: It takes practice to sew blind hems. Always

make a sewing test first.

NOTE: In addition to the adjustment on the foot,

the stitch width control can be used. The stitch

width control changes the swing of the needle for a

more narrow or wider stitch.
