Place the fabric under the foot.
Turn the handwheel forwards
by hand until the needle swings
fully to the left. It should just
pierce the fold of the fabric. If it
does not, adjust the stitch width
accordingly.
Adjust the guide (b) by turning
the knob (a) so that the guide
just rests against the fold.
Sew slowly, guiding the fabric
carefully along the edge of the
guide.
Turn over the fabric.
Fold the fabric as illustrated
with the wrong side uppermost.
Note:
It takes practice to sew blind
hems. Always make a sewing
test first.
