18. Two or three-thread blindstitching
Blindstitching provides a durable hem finish that is almost invisible. It is best suited for sewing cuffs on
knit wear and skirt hems.
Preparation
Remove left needle.
Throat plate
Thread tensions
Stitch length dial
Ordinary overedge throat plate
Set tensions to normal sewing condition for 1 needle, 3 thread, overlock stitching
(see page 16) or for 1 needle 2-thread overlock stitching. (See page 13)
Set stitch length dial to 4—5.
Fold hem to wrong side of fabric, then back to right side. Place raw edge of fabric under hem guide and
place soft fold along edge of hem guide. Stitch making sure needle barely catches the fold. Adjust hem
guide if necessary.
An optional blind hem foot is available from your Singer Dealer which makes blind hemming even easier.
