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 (counter-clockwise) 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.

NOTE: It takes practice to sew blind hems. Do a

test sew 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

narrower or wider stitch.

- Regular blind stitch for normal woven fabrics

- Elastic blind stitch for soft, stretchable fabrics
