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.
