[ How to Sew an Overlook Blind Hem
]
• The excess fabric is trimmed and the hem is sewn
and the raw edges are overlocked in one operation.
• The overlook blind hem is best suited for sewing
knit wear. It provides a durable finish that is almost
invisible.
Remove the left needle and adjust machine for a
narrow 3-thread overlook stitch.
Note: The three-thread flatlock stitch can also be
used.
Set the stitch length dial at 4.
Fold the hem to the wrong side of the fabric, then
back to the right side with 6mm (1/4") beyond the
fold.
Stitch on the extended hem edge, allowing the
machine needle to barely catch the edge of the fold.
[ How to Sew Pin Tucks
• Sew decorative pin tucks on the fabric before cutting
out the garment.
• Remove the left needle and adjust machine for a
narrow 3-thread overlook stitch.
Note: The rolled hem stitch can also be used for
this technique.
• Place the movable upper knife in the nonworking
position (page 25).
• Mark the fabric with the desired number of pin tucks
using a water soluble fabric marker.
