Blindstitching provides a
durable
hem
finish that can be used on a variety of
light and medium weight fabrics. It is best
suited
to
straight
hems.
Taped,
bound,
turned, or unfinished hem edges can be
blindstitched with
equal
ease. Blind-
stitching takes a little practice, however,
so make a test sample first.
1.
Attach blindstitch hem guide as in
structed on page 7.
2. Mark, turn, and press hem in the usual
way.
(You
may
want
to
baste
the
turned hem to fold it in place. If so, be
sure to place the basting at least 1/2
inch (1.2 cm) from hem edge.)
3. With the work v\/rong side up, turn the
hem under, creating a soft fold about
1 /4 inch (6 mm) from hem edge. Press
lightly.
4.
Position the hem under the foot with
the soft fold resting against wall of
guide. Make sure flange of guide is
between the soft fold and top of hem.
5. Lower the presserfoot and stitch so that
the straight stitches fall on the hem
edge and the sideward stitches pierce
the
soft
fold.
While
stitching,
guide
hem edge in a
straight
line and feed the
soft fold evenly against the wail of the
hem guide.
