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

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.
