Owner’s manual pg.___
• Turn up a 1” hem along one of the 6” edges and press.
• Turn up the depth of the hem again and press.
• Fold the entire hem toward the right side of the garment, so that the garment fold is
almost even with the top edge of the hem. A scant
1
/
8
” to
1
/
16
” of hem edge should
be visible. This will ensure that both folds are caught by the blind hem pick.
• Place the fabric under the foot just as a traditional blind hem would be placed.
• Sew the hem with Blindstitch #7, making sure that the zigzag pick catches both folds
while the straight stitch falls off the edge and stitches in air forming a chain along the
upper hem edge.
• Press and mount the sample.
