Memo
• Blind hem stitches cannot be sewn if the left needle
drop point does not catch the fold. If the needle catches
too much of the fold, the fabric cannot be unfolded and
the seam appearing on the right side of the fabric will be
very large, leaving an unattractive finish.
Note
• Be sure to pull the fabric towards the back of the
machine after sewing. If you pull the fabric toward side
or forward, the presser foot may be damaged.
