BLIND HEM STITCH

STEP 1

I

I

The blind hem stitch provides a durable hem
finish that is almost invisible on garments,
drapes, and curtains. It is done easily with
straight or slightly curved hems. With a little
practice it will be a very quick and easy hem
application

and

the

hem

will

never

need

repairing.

Procedure:

(1 (Prepare raw edge of hem in desired manner,

such as overcast, 1/4 inch stitched under
pinked, hem tape, or just plain. (Step 1 j

(2) Fold hem up desired length. Baste or pin 1/2

inch from upper edge. Press in place. (Step 2)

(3) Fold hem back toward right side of fabric

leaving about 1/4 inch extended. (Step 3)

(4) Guide the fold of the fabric into the center

cut of the presser foot so that the zigzag bite
of the stitch comes Just slightly to the left of
the center cut of the presser foot. The straight
or narrow zigzag stitches should be formed on
the single thickness of fabric, and the zigzag
wide bite should catch just barely into the
fold of the fabric at the left.

(BjWhen stitching is completed, remove fabric

from machine and turn to right side. Press
completed hem.

When hemming an A-line skirt, place a machine
basting stitch along the raw edge of the hem. At
an ironing board, fold up the hem, matching the

seams. Ease in the excess fabric by pulling on
basting thread. Press with steam, then apply hem
tape. Baste or pin hem 1/2" from taped edge,
then continue into step 3.
