5. OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES /
BLIND HEM FOOT
Blind hem feet are obtainable as an optional extra and are
available in two sizes. 0.5 for fine-medium fabrics and 1.0 for
medium/ heavy fabrics.
Fit the appropriate foot.
Set the stitch length 4 - 5.
Now proceed as follows:
1. Turn up the hem to the required depth and press. Fold
the hem back against the §right§ side of the garment,
creating a §soft§ fold on the §wrong§ side of the fabric –
see Fig. 1.
2. Place fabric under the presser foot with the §wrong§ side
up. Feed the folded edge through the guide in the front
of the foot and lower the presser foot lever. Try a stitch
(or several stitches) on a spare piece of the actual fabric,
and adjust the guide so that the needle just catches the
fold. Adjust the guide by means of the small screw on the
top of the foot – see Fig. 2.
3. When correctly set, sew the hem. The outside edge will
be cut away by the machine – see also Fig. 2. After
completion, open out and press again. The stitches
should be almost invisible on the §right§ of the fabric –
see Fig. 3.
